Do you need SAP BPC?

Yes—if you need consolidated reports and are struggling to produce them. SAP BPC helps you generate:

• consolidated financial statements

• management reporting

• plan/actual reporting and analysis

You can produce reports in accordance with IFRS, US GAAP, local financial reporting standards, or regulatory reporting requirements (including FINREP).

In practice, consolidated reporting often comes with challenges such as:

• Human factor. Many figures must be entered manually, and no one is immune to errors. In addition, different subsidiaries may delay submissions—either due to low motivation to collect data or because they lack the required tools and technologies.

• Poorly defined workflows. Reporting may be inconsistent (for example, regulatory reports may not reconcile with financial reporting), making the numbers hard to use for analytics. Some data may be collected incorrectly—or even lost.

• Outdated or unsuitable software. Systems may not integrate with each other, preventing the exchange of required data. Sometimes existing data from another system still has to be re-entered manually, wasting time. Many tools also lack true multi-user capabilities.

SAP BPC is a flexible solution that helps you produce consolidated reporting quickly and in a clear, user-friendly format. It collects data from SAP systems as well as third-party solutions. You can also supplement reports with manually entered data when needed.

After consolidation and data transformation, the solution delivers reports in exactly the format you require. It supports both statutory and non-statutory (analytical) reporting—so your analytical reporting can be presented in the most convenient way for users.

Key capabilities

For financial consolidation

• Subsidiaries and branches can enter required data directly into the system—so you get the numbers you need faster.

• You can manage the group structure, model consolidation scenarios, and classify budget and reporting items within the system.

• You can analyze consolidated reporting at the group level.

This helps you quickly obtain reliable data to assess business development opportunities and make informed management decisions.
