  4. How BPC evolved? In 2004, SAP decided to create a next generation planning solution called Integrated Planning (BW-IP), which would be the successor of BPS. It looked like it would be a strong solution. However impressive , the technical advantages of BW –IP only solved part of the equation; the reality was that many businesses were growing tired of IT departments having to own and maintain planning and consolidation solutions with IT support, not ownership. In 2007 SAP formed a new organization focused on the business user. So a Enterprise Performance Management team was launched under this area to address the needs being expressed by the CFO suite. So EPM team evaluated potential acquisitions that had the desired ease-of-use and simplicity, and discovered them with Outlook Soft. The user environment was native Excel, which Finance users live and breathe by. www.magnifictraining.com

  5. How BPC evolved? • Members of Outlook Soft and SAP were summoned to SAP headquarters in Waldron. A business scenario was created and two teams were formed. The first was SAP and included BW experts, ABAP developers, web application development members and finance personnel. In the other corner was the Outlook Soft team made up of a couple finance users with no data warehousing or development skills. The two teams split up and started building their planning applications using the two different solutions, BW-IP and Outlook Soft. After thirty minutes, the Outlook Soft team came back with the completed application; it took SAP team over six hours to build the same application using BW-IP. This sealed the deal within SAP and the acquisition of Outlook Soft gave SAP the best user experience in the industry, planning and Consolidation in one product. The rest is history. www.magnifictraining.com

  6. Concepts of Planning Planning :It involves thinking ahead and formulating a set of activities you will execute in future; in other words, it is the process of modeling or projecting future business activities. It is on high level. Budgeting :It is the process of allocating resources once the planning process is approved and accepted by the company’s management. It is on detail level. www.magnifictraining.com

  7. Concepts of Planning • Forecasting :It deals with the realization of the plan, and is used as a monitoring mechanism to facilitate the success of planning. Business environments do not remain the same – what was planned yesterday may not be same today. It is done during the course of the current budget year with a key objective to provide visibility on the current state of the business in a timely manner so that corrective action can be taken when there is significant difference between the current state of the future and what was planned for during the planning process. www.magnifictraining.com

  8. Concepts of Planning “People do not plan to fail, but they fail to Plan”. • The planning, budgeting and forecasting concept is critical to the success of the corporation. Common error is the fact that they didn’t plan enough and didn’t plan proactively. • Its very difficult to plan, budget, or forecast in an accurate, timely and consistent way. www.magnifictraining.com

  9. Concepts of Planning • Planning is not like consolidations, where someone else (GAAP or IFRS rules and regulations from the government) is telling you how to do it and when to do it, the consolidation process. • Planning process is done on its own and is somewhat unique to the different industries. • Planning process is the lifeblood of the short-term and long-term revenue stream of a corporation and the overall income/expense process within a corporation. www.magnifictraining.com
