Complementary solutions to SAP
By incorporating MSP budget planning and demand management processes, SAP can be enriched with fully mechanized budget planning process, orchestrating budget shifting and yearly budget planning.
Budget Requests are initiated in MSP, assigned with impact and once approved – automatically transmitted to SAP PS/FI. Actual cost can be transmitted back to MSP for planning vs. actual comparisons
With MSP, you can now:
- Perform a Pre SAP budget planning & control process that enables it to reach what-if scenarios with endless decision making parameters (Strategic Goals, Risks, Business case – ROI, Requesting customer etc..)
- Manage the initiation gating process of every investment to assure that a proper business case is assigned to it, and assign checkpoints to investments
- Provide workflow-driven, bottom-up processes that allow initiation, negotiations and careful approval of budget requests based on roles and accountability
- Trace and audit the budget line managed by SAP with a project managed by MS-Project •Reflect both financial and delivery capacity constraints (i.e. amount of available resources to perform the work)
- Integrate to the solution manager (solman) to achieve IT governance from initiation to delivery
- Automatically feed the PS/FI module with a uniform, traceable, business aligned budget structure
- Support soft constraint such as strategic goals, capacity & budget constraints, Risk ,NPV, Depreciation, ROI, Customers and more “what-if” scenarios
- Strong reporting and dash boarding capabilities
- Improve user interface experience
- Position SAP as the center of the Application Life Cycle harmonious process, providing strong planned vs. actual and providing a dynamic decision making framework.
