Many organizations exploring consolidation within S/4HANA through Group Reporting (GR) are discovering that embedded consolidation is not always the right fit for their financial processes, reporting needs, or system landscape.
This webinar highlights an alternative approach used successfully by many of our customers: leveraging SAP Analytics Cloud Planning (SACP) as a standalone EPM platform for consolidations, planning, and analytics — powered by PlaniFi’s pre-built consolidation framework.
Rather than embedding consolidations directly in S/4, this session demonstrates how finance teams can centralize consolidation, planning, and reporting in SAP Analytics Cloud to gain greater flexibility, faster deployment, and deeper financial insights across the enterprise.
You’ll see how organizations that chose not to adopt Group Reporting are using SAC and PlaniFi to automate complex consolidation processes, streamline close cycles, and align financial planning and reporting within one scalable cloud platform.
