Are You Having Issues Effectively Managing Planning and Forecasting in SAP?
Your Team Depends on Excel to Create and Manage Planning Models
Deadlines get pushed, critical decisions get delayed, and working late becomes the norm when month-end close, ad hoc analysis, and reconciling become increasingly challenging tasks.
Manual Process for Maintaining Planning Models is Inefficient
Manually exporting, formatting, and consolidating data is not only an inefficient use of your finance team’s time, it poses a risk to data integrity.
You Don’t Know if Your Budgets are Accurate and Up-to-Date with SAP Data
It’s hard to produce accurate financial statements when you don’t have the technical skills to make last-minute changes or modify a report and when you can’t be sure the data remain unchanged.
