What is SAP BPC?
SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (SAP BPC) helps organizations streamline planning, budget, forecast, and consolidation capabilities, allowing for a single view of financial and operational data. In addition, SAP BPC delivers performance-based planning, offering customers the ability to model their business processes and plans that closely align with how the actual business works.
SAP BPC enables migrations with SAP NetWeaver and Microsoft Excel organizations through access to BPC administration and reporting components. Finance and accounting managers can leverage SAP BPC support for Microsoft Office applications to gather data, generate reports, conduct analysis in real-time, and produce reports.

SAP BPC enables migrations with SAP NetWeaver and Microsoft Excel organizations through access to BPC administration and reporting components. Finance and accounting managers can leverage SAP BPC support for Microsoft Office applications to gather data, generate reports, conduct analysis in real-time, and produce reports.
Key capabilities include:
- Unified application that lowers system maintenance enhances data integrity and simplifies deployment, resulting in more flexible planning and consolidation of functions
- Reduced dependence on IT, allowing business users to manage processes, models, and reports
- Interoperability across SAP and non-SAP environments
- Central database enabling access from native Microsoft Office tools (e.g., Excel) and web browsers
Key Considerations for SAPinsiders
Consider moving SAP BPC to the cloud. One of the biggest opportunities for organizations considering a cloud deployment for SAP BPC is that it can be quickly deployed and easily integrated into your existing SAP landscape. In addition, the SAP HANA in-memory database provides fast performance for complex calculations and data handling.
Take advantage of robust planning and analysis capabilities with SAP Analytics Cloud. Recent innovations in cloud technology provide organizations with more options to enhance their situational decision-making framework, such as real-time planning and analyzing financial data. Consider extending the planning capabilities of SAP BPC with SAP Analytics Cloud for even more robust insights.
Establish clear goals and an understanding of the project scope to enable a successful SAP BPC implementation. Organizations should ensure adequate resources to support data preparation, conversion, and testing. SAP BPC supports flexible planning processes with pre-defined planning templates that can be used as-is or customized to fit an organization’s specific needs.
