Key Considerations for SAPinsiders
Leverage SAP FICO to generate timely insights within current processes. Organizations typically modernize ERP financial landscapes in phases and not all at once. As a result, finance and accounting managers must incorporate processes across multiple technologies, including legacy or manual solutions, to deliver business benefits. The flexibility of SAP FICO supports this option, as Mark Pockl, insightsoftware’s Solution Engineer, specializing in SAP and Orace EBS reporting solutions, provides best practices for leveraging SAP FICO inside Excel.
SAP FICO automation can enable the standardization of financial processes. With SAP FICO, finance teams are equipped with standard solutions capable of supporting automation across many manual processes related to financial transactions and reporting. This helps finance teams, including the finance departments at Kellogg Company and Newell Brands, effectively manage financial data within SAP ERP systems, including generating reports that different departments require for decision-making.
Economic disruptions increase the need for financial visibility across organizations. SAP FICO is designed to support multiple views of your organization in real time, providing visibility for finance managers at the most critical junctures. In addition, by accurately and quickly managing cost planning and cost monitoring requirements consistently across the business units, organizations can generate ad-hoc reporting from costing and profitability insights.
