Key Considerations for SAPinsiders

Leverage flexible SAP Billing Systems functionality to address company-specific business processes and workflows.Organizations using SAP Billing Systems will need to consider updated approaches in SAP S/4HANA to ensure that the new system will integrate smoothly with their existing systems and processes. Unique business use cases, such as intercompany billing, require additional planning to leverage functionality extensions available in SAP S/4HANA properly.

Consider the SAP billing system as part of a larger CRM strategy. Customers should take a holistic approach to implement SAP Billing Systems and should evaluate how it fits into the overall picture of their customer relationship management. A robust subscription model powered by SAP Billings Systems can facilitate customer engagement and experience, helping to support a larger CRM growth strategy.

Reduce costs and establish end-to-end transparency with SAP Billing Systems. When organizations centralize and integrate core processes with SAP Billing Systems, they are well-positioned to have a more efficient operations cost by enabling high transparency/traceability of the entire process. As a result, finance leaders can also enable high-level data governance to ensure data integrity.
