Integrated Financial Planning in SAP Analytics Cloud: End-to-End Planning Process Sample Story

Co-Authored by Holger Faber and Nina Weilemann-Nguyen

In this blog we would like to introduce you to the new End-to-End Planning Process sample story that we have provided with SAP Analytics Cloud 2023.Q1 version.

The Integrated Financial Planning business content in SAP Analytics Cloud offers you a huge scope of possibilities to perform financial planning. This can make it seem overwhelming. To help you to better understand how to perform financial planning across all planning models, we’ve come up with an example of an end-to-end-process that covers the key capabilities of Integrated Financial Planning.

When you perform financial planning in an integrated way, you usually need to switch back and forth from one planning model to another because there are often dependencies and prerequisites that need to be fulfilled first. For example, if you want to calculate resources, you need to first plan the sales quantities. In the end-to-end story, we’ve anticipated these interdependent tasks in the order in which they need to be performed, and we’ve integrated them into the story. In this way, you can stay in this single story and perform all required steps in one flow.

Please keep in mind that the end-to-end story is for demonstration purposes only. It contains a sample process where we’ve included all dependent steps and provided all necessary sample data. In a company, the tasks in this story are typically performed at different points in time by different roles with different authorizations.

Have a look at the following quick run-through video of our End-to-End Planning Process sample story.

For more information, check out the Help Portal documentation: Exploring Content with Sample Data | SAP Help Portal

So, this was a quick info on how you can further explore the Integrated Financial Planning business content.

Please feel free to ask questions in the Comment section. We are looking forward to your feedback.

      Dear Saurabh,

      we don't see any attached screenshot, but I guess you receive the following error message:
      missing%20cube%20error%20message

      missing cube error message

       

      We're able to reproduce the issue and currently working on a solution.

      As a workaround for the time being, please import the content in two steps to overcome this issue:

      1. import only Folders and Models
      2. import all other objects

      Please let me know in case this is not solving your issue.

      Thanks and best regards
      Susanne

      The issue is solved.
      You should now also be able to import the content in one step.

      Sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused.

      Best regards
      Susanne
