FICO in a Flash: Live Costing and Profit Insights on the Fly

This last year has been challenging for companies across multiple industries. Managing costs and tracking revenues have been critical over this timeframe. As the market recovers, organisations need to be able to quickly and accurately assess these areas to track business performance, identify growth opportunities and ultimately invest wisely.

However, accessing the correct data in a timely manner can be a challenge. Ad hoc requests when using SAP can take hours, if not days, to be executed and standard FICO and/or custom IT reports are often too rigid. So, finance teams spend hours jumping between SAP and Excel screens to combine T-codes and formulas, and manually manipulating out-of-date data dumps. The result? They lack time to analyse the results and focus on what matters most: providing significant insights to drive business success.

What if you could leverage all your existing FICO master data (and other SAP modules) inside Excel, refresh your reports in a single click, and then generate, modify and automate interactive drillable reports and analysis in just minutes?

Join this webinar to learn how to:

• Easily build/refresh business reports related to the Controlling area, such as Profit and Cost Centres, COPA, Internal Orders, Projects/WBS elements and more
• Compare actual to budget/plan values with the ability to quickly identify outliers through variance analysis
• Rapidly deliver ad hoc reporting requests and create templates that can be refreshed in real time with the capability to drill down into the transactional details

Register now to discover how to unlock the full potential of SAP and exercise control over your financial reporting.
