SAP Simple Finance provides huge cost and time saving to manage finance and accounting by leveraging the computing power of SAP HANA. Universal journal combines all the good qualities of accounting components. In the previous SAP Finance Accounting tool, all the components are separately managed due to technical restrictions without HANA platform.

Before SAP Simple Finance there were a lot of challenges, such as −

  • Different level of details stored in respective components/tables
  • To move the data to appropriate table for reporting purpose
  • Multiple BI extractors to analyze full data in BI
  • Reconciliation needed for all components
HANA Platform
