    Achieving a One Day Close with SAP Simple Finance. How?

    Eliminate closing tasks

    • Due to architectural or process changes, a closing task may no longer be required.
    • Example: Many reconciliation tasks (like FI vs. CO) are no longer needed in SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA.

    Change closing tasks to real - time execution

    • The closing task is no longer executed separately, but it is integrated in real - time into ongoing business activities.
    • Example: Posting expenses to a cost center will automatically derive profitability information. No more explicit settlement.

    Change closing tasks to continuous execution

    • The closing task is not gone, but much smother / faster. Thus, it can be easily run multiple times within the period.
    • Example: IC Reconciliation on HANA does not need any more batch loading and matching – one can run it every day.

    Accelerate remaining closing tasks

    • Significant reduction in run time. The task may still be executed just once at period end for the hard close.
    • Example: Asset depreciation or calculation of production variances.
