Case study: How Texas’s largest school district implemented an SAP budgeting and planning solutionOct 20, 2020 — Houston Independent School District (“HISD” or “District”) is implementing SAP Budgeting and Planning for Public Sector (“SBP”) solution. This implementation project is divided into two phases. Phase 1 scope is to implement SBP’s Personnel Expenditure Planning (“PEP”) functionality to calculate the Personnel Costs relating to the District’s budget. HISD SBP Phase 1 will only include a portion of the functionality which is called Personnel Expenditure Projections (PEP) primarily used for personnel cost calculations/projections for the purpose of budgeting. This solution will need to Integrate with the District's SAP HCM/Human resources and FM and GM data, managed using SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (“SAP ERP”) software. The solution proposed would use the data transferred to their existing BW system to reduce complexity and minimize potential SAP SBP software performance issues.
Attend this session to:
•Leverage Master data from source systems for the purpose of Budgeting
•Centralize PEP position / employee calculations wherever possible
•Leverage SAP SBP-standard PEP engine functionality as much as possible for projections
