OVERVIEW

What This Means for You

Finance teams want faster closes, more reliable numbers and more time for analysis. In older systems, finance and controlling data sit in separate tables that must be reconciled, and reporting relies on overnight extracts.

SAP S/4HANA Finance combines financial accounting, controlling, asset accounting and profitability in the Universal Journal, a single table for all postings. Reports run on live data, reconciliation between ledgers disappears and margin analysis is available by customer, product and segment in real time.

Group reporting, cash management and central finance extend the core for larger organisations.

Webtel implements each module using SAP Activate and fit-to-standard workshops. Your key users see the standard processes in a working system, agree what fits and what does not, and help test the result. Extensions are built side by side, on SAP Business Technology Platform where appropriate, to keep the core clean.

What Usually Gets in the Way

These are the issues we see most often. Each one is planned for from the start, so it does not surface in the week before go-live.

Slow close

Month end takes too long.

02

Reconciliations

Finance and controlling disagree.

03

Late insight

Reports arrive too late.

04

Group complexity

Consolidation is manual.

AT A GLANCE

What Makes SAP S/4HANA Different

One data model

Finance and logistics share one source of truth, including the Universal Journal.

Real-time

Reports and planning run on live data instead of overnight batches.

SAP Fiori

Role-based apps that work on desktop, tablet and phone.

Embedded analytics

Insight inside the transactions people already use.

Cloud or on-premise

Public cloud, private cloud or your own data centre.

FAQS

Common Questions

What is the Universal Journal?+

A single table (ACDOCA) that holds all finance and controlling postings, removing the need to reconcile separate ledgers.

Does S/4HANA Finance support IFRS and local GAAP?+

Yes. Parallel ledgers support different accounting principles.

Can it consolidate group results?+

Yes. SAP S/4HANA for group reporting supports consolidation.

Can we implement one module at a time?+

S/4HANA modules are closely integrated, so most projects implement core finance and logistics together. Some areas can be added in later phases, and we help you plan the order.

Do we need extensions?+

Only where standard processes do not meet a genuine business need. We start from SAP best practices and keep extensions to a minimum.

Is training included?+

Yes. Training is role-based and uses your own processes, so users learn what they will actually do.
