® SAP Planning and Consolidation ® What is SAP Planning and Consolidation? SAP Planning and Consolidation (BPC) is an important solution of the SAP Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) suite and can help your organization capitalize on the value of your existing data assets. BPC gives you access to reliable corporate data as well as streamlines planning and consolidation processes. It lets you align operational plans with corporate goals, initiatives and metrics defined using the SAP Strategy Management application. You execute to plan, understand risk factors, and have the financial resources budgeted to support all initiatives. This comprehensive approach helps you maximize business profitability and effectively manage risk and compliance – while optimizing corporate systems, people, and processes. SAP BPC improves productivity by streamlining and aligning bottom-up and top-down planning processes. It can accelerate the financial close, shorten budget cycles, and improve compliance by automating manual processes and enabling complete visibility from budgets to actuals. It provides a unified solution for planning, budgeting, forecasting, and consolidation that is designed to be owned and maintained by finance managers and can fit into any IT landscape. Business Benefits • Reduce cycle time for creating and approving budgets by enabling finance and line-of-business managers to collaborate on aligning budgets. • Improve planning and forecasting accuracy via a unified, agile solution that supports rapid re-forecasting and standard business processes. • Empower business users to own and modify common business processes without IT assistance via a solution they can maintain themselves. • Increase business user productivity with native access to familiar tools such as Microsoft Office. • Minimize business and compliance risk by enabling transparent financial reporting with a fully documented audit trail from a single data repository.

The key strategic components of SAP Strategy Management, SAP Planning and Consolidation, SAP Profitability and Cost Management, and SAP Financial Consolidation deliver a good breadth and depth of functionality in all areas of CPM. SAP has an aggressive road map to deliver integration among the various acquired CPM applications in its portfolio and integration with SAP BW and BusinessObjects BI. SAP has already delivered on the initial phases of this road map, with Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) 10.1 on NetWeaver, bringing functional parity BPC capabilities onto NetWeaver.
