Project Background

  • Technical 1:1 migration from R/3 ERP to S/4HANA in 2021 (Brownfield).
  • Continued operation of ECCS for over 4 years since the switch to S/4HANA.
  • The special ledger KVL (group preparation ledger) was used for mapping/enriching the accounting data for consolidation.
  • Management financial statements were prepared monthly. Legal financial statements were prepared annually.
  • Data model (ECCS) from 2010
  • Separate legal and management financial statements are prepared in different versions, sometimes with different positioning plans in the ECCS.

Project Challenges

  • Integration of legal and management financial statements into a single version with a position plan
  • BW remains the central reporting platform for consolidated reporting at the operational and consolidated levels - interface setup
  • For certain items, only reporting of the final balances is possible (e.g., provisions) – workaround with adjustment postings on separate document types to reflect the mirror data for all necessary items.
  • No replacement of the existing KVL (consolidation preparation ledger) due to the existing booking processes in the upstream systems.
  • In the EC-CS process, the balance carryforward movement types are not write-protected (the upload process must be agreed upon).

Solutions/relevant topics for you

  • Implementation SAP S/4HANA Group Reporting OP2022 as a replacement for ECCS in a hybrid approach
  • Transfer of consolidated data from S/4HANA Group Reporting to BW
  • For non-integrated companies, an INSIRE Excel data collection tool was created.
