Financial Planning with SAP Analytics Cloud: Our Approach

SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) offers a comprehensive solution for business intelligence, planning, and predictive analytics. As a cloud-based platform, it integrates data from various sources, including SAP S/4HANA and SAP BW, and enables companies to make informed decisions in real time. With SAC, you can create detailed reports, perform complex analyses, and implement precise planning. Automated processes and real-time data access significantly reduce manual effort and increase efficiency.

Comprehensive financial planning

SAP Analytics Cloud provides the ideal foundation for integrated financial planning. Balance sheets, profit and loss statements (P&L), and real-time cash flow calculations are fully integrated, enabling efficient planning. Every input is immediately transferred to all relevant financial areas and visually highlighted. Especially in conjunction with SAP S/4HANA, SAC supports both operational areas such as cost center planning and strategic planning.

KPI-Planung

A central aspect of financial planning is the definition and monitoring of key performance indicators (KPIs). SAP Analytics Cloud enables KPI planning, tracking, and real-time analysis of KPI trends. Using SAP Analytics Cloud, companies can flexibly adjust their KPIs and ensure that all departments are working toward the same goals.

Driver-based planning

With the value driver tree function, SAC offers an intuitive tool for directly visualizing the effects of changed planning parameters. Changes take effect immediately and show the new planning situation in real time. Various scenarios, such as exchange rate fluctuations or raw material price changes, can be simulated to quickly derive appropriate measures. This function is particularly important in unforeseen situations.

Overcoming challenges in financial planning

One of the biggest challenges in financial planning is linking different sub-plans. Changes in one sub-plan, such as revenue planning, directly impact other plans. SAC enables the linking and automation of sub-plans, so that changes in cost center planning are immediately reflected in the P&L – without any manual effort.
