  • Product Usability
it was primarily about the integration of planning in a future s4hana system and the sac is suitable for this. Furthermore, we map our budget planning and annual financial statements in the sac, which is why a suitable modeling environment was required here. the planning functions are all there and we can plan our values ​​and budgets
we use the SAP Analytics Cloud together with a business warehouse and use the planning engine (BW-IP) for our planning functions. We map these in the frontend (SAC) and thus offer a perfect addition to our on-premise systems. the planning takes place in the bw and an s4 system with embedded analytics functions is planned
