SAP Business Planning and Consolidation
SAP Business Planning and Consolidation, or BPC, is a unified solution that allows you to define, execute, follow and analyse your planning and financial consolidation processes.
Budget planning is a key aspect that must be updated and aligned with the corporate strategy to set a realistic vision for achieving the objectives set by organisations.
With SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (SAP BPC), users can significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their planning and consolidation processes, obtaining shorter terms and more reliable results. Users will be able to use an environment as familiar as MS Excel to quickly access information, reduce manual work and optimise decision-making.
Use of multiple files to be sent to aggregate data for budgeting or consolidating.
Know the status of process at all times without having to chase down users
The data required for budgeting and/or consolidating should be integrated with the transactional system. For this reason, SAP BPC allows organisations to integrate SAP data as well as third-party data.
Working on BW4HANA reduces the wait time for data handling and thus, terms and errors, provides streaming and real-time functionalities in data acquisition and improves performance in extraction processes and in final queries for information exploitation.
