Financial consolidation is a critical process in being able to produce financial statements for large companies and multinational organizations. SAP Group Reporting is the functionality provided in SAP S/4HANA to manage the financial consolidations process. SAP Group Reporting replaces functionality formally used in the ECC environment such as EC-CS, SEM-BCS, and SAP BPC for the consolidations. SAP introduced “Group Reporting” based on SAP S/4HANA Universal Ledger as of 1809 release. Participants are encouraged to share their usage of the tools for consolidation purposes.  

In this Think Tank, we would like to focus on: 

  • Brief overview of SAP Group Reporting 

  • Your feedback on how your organization is making the transition from its current consolidation tools into SAP Group Reporting 

  • What are the benefits and challenges you have encountered? 

  • Are you making this transition from the previous SAP consolidations tools or other third-party tool?
