What is this all about?


The SAP RealSpend (BETA) solution is the first comprehensive tool that allows managers to improve decision-making with regards to their budgets and expenses. Detailed drill-down features make it possible to perform a fine-grained analysis of actual and future expenses, as well as the related forecast and budget plans. Furthermore, the manager is able to simulate the influence of certain decisions onto his budget situation (e.g., marketing, hiring, travel, or hardware decisions). Augmenting financial data through tagging enables flexible reporting beyond the classical ERP data model.





Key Pain Points Addressed


  • Financial data stored in ERP is "after-the-fact" and not well-suited for efficient decision-making upon future financial data.
  • Financial data (e.g., planning, actuals) can only be reported based on dimensions and characteristics which were foreseen by central controlling or finance departments.
  • Implementation of new concepts and models takes too long in an ERP system.


Key Product Features


  • Augment financial data with future expenses.
  • Bottom-up planning based on future expenses.
  • Flexible tagging to introduce new dimensions and characteristics for reporting on the fly.
  • Full real-time integration with SAP Simple Finance and S/4 HANA.
  • A simple way to declare top-down budgets.
