Overall Satisfaction with SAP Business Technology Platform

We use SAP for all our financial analysis purposes, reports and MIS’s. Not only it assures accuracy of the data but also gives freedom to leverage our analytical skills to edit the reports based on the requirements, set favourites and create shortcuts for the recurring reports. I use it for Supply chain related data such as write offs, transportation and warehousing.

Pros

  • Weekly transportation data
  • Inventory write off ageing
  • Weekly customer penalty reports
  • Warehousing expenses

Cons

  • Create shortcut button
  • Drag and drop functionality which is available in BA
  • direct email the downloads to the receiver
  • Improved and accurate data in real time
  • Time saving in terms of automated reports
  • Linking multiple input Chanel’s to one specific report
  • Easy to learn and navigate which saves training time
We needed something which has all reports related to write offs under one roof and SAP Hana 4 resolved most of the requirements. It provided write off data in terms of sku, brand, category along with the warehouse and store location which made life easy when it comes to computing the write off bucket on monthly basis.
Let’s not even compare SAP with Cognos as Cognos has many drawbacks. Ease of operation is biggest among them. Also IBM Cognos crashes multiple times if the reports are heavy, it doesn’t have background report running feature, the report downloading format a availability is very limited in IBM Cognos compare to SAP
