SAP BPC with SAP S/4HANA
SAP has developed SAP BPC for S/4HANA, which (among other use cases) uses the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system that is part of the SAP NetWeaver belonging to the operational S/4HANA system. A standalone system is no longer required. The advantages are significant.
Running on SAP HANA database enables us to offer additional advantages as well: By using the Planning Application Kit (PAK), planning functions such as disaggregation are run completely in-memory directly on SAP HANA . No ABAP processing is required. This provides much faster performance, especially if you have a lot of planning data, and makes simulations and predictions possible.
01
No need to replicate data between SAP BPC and the ERP system
02
Perform real-time analysis on plan data and actual data
03
Plan based on real-time ERP master data
04
Optimize hardware and administration costs
