SAP’s strategy for consolidation in a note

Note 2866878

“SAP S/4HANA for Group Reporting is SAP’s

strategic consolidation solution moving

forward in particular for customers

implementing SAP S/4HANA irrespective of

deployment option (cloud or on-premise), as

well as for customers looking for a cloud

standalone offering”

legacy consolidation solutions (SAP BPC,

SAP FC, SEM BCS, EC CS) within the

timeframes for standard maintenance”

Implementation approach

Underlying question: what are the key drivers?

Parallel implementation of S/4HANA Core Finance (or Central Finance) and Group Reporting

S/4HANA Core Finance

Group Reporting

Key drivers

Transformation / greenfield approach with holistic view

Design & implement S/4HANA as one integrated solution

Group requirements as a key foundation

Also recommended with Central Finance approach

Implementation approach

01

Staggered / brownfield approach

Focus on the Core Finance solution first

Group requirements can come later e.g. once the S/4HANA technical migration has been completed

02

Meet the group requirements is the priority

E.g. in a context of acquisition or merger

Integration with Core Finance as a potential next step03


Group Reporting

Group Reporting implementation after S/4HANA Core Finance; most of the entities already live

Group Reporting


Implementation of Group Reporting as a standalone solution or ahead of S/4HANA Core Finance
