Test cycles should be given sufficient time, just because we want to go live on certain date we just cant compromise on test cycles. It should accommodate time for all areas in a balance manner. Planning – Program plan should be done with a view from business case as to what needs to be done when like phase1, phase 2, phase 3 however the planning should be realistic. There are several aspects to this pillar namely This is another key aspect which I have seen in projects which can make or break the situation. It gives you time to plan your ERP strategy and get early advantage of S/4HANA transformation and all new processes and improvements which are delivered as part of S/4HANA It enables you to use S/4HANA and that’s an ERP so comparison between CFIN (S/4HANA) and BW is never justified.Ĭentral Finance enables you to use the central processes, Group Reporting, SAC, ICMR etc on top of S/4 and you don’t need to disrupt your other non-financial business processes as legacy systems are still up and running. SAP Central Finance is not a reporting engine. The trial balance from several ERPs is loaded in BW and used for reporting purposes.
Since CFIN bring data from multiple source systems so sometimes it considered as equivalent to BW as customer are using today the BW system and that’s what it happens. In my several projects experience I have seen that customers consider CFIN as just a data repository and compare it with BW. SAP Central Finance is a deployment option to S/4HANA and makes S/4HANA deployment as non-disruptive and easy to go. Now lets get into detail of each pillar and talk through
Lets see the pillars of lessons learned as I have classified my learnings here into 5 pillars. It may or may not be relevant for your project but I ma sure you can see the component from here in your CFIN Project. The content in this blog is collective experience of several projects.
I have been part of almost 10 CFIN projects of different sizes and shapes where I have seen below scenarios. This blog is focused on lessons learned from SAP Central Finance projects.
