Planning & Budgeting
Better access and visibility of planning data
Shorten your budget cycles by optimizing your SAP budget planning processes. Consolidate historical data from multiple disparate sources, secure data extraction from tables, infosets, and logical databases, and create workflows to drive every step of your budget process.
The Challenge
SAP provides an extremely flexible set of tools for budgeting and planning, but using them effectively requires collecting large amounts of data from many disparate sources. This flexibility can lead to a time consuming and unstructured process that causes the final budget and forecasting numbers to remain out of date, or not in a format that is useful or actionable.

Capabilities
Data entry
Finance teams can use Winshuttle enabled spreadsheets to consolidate data from disparate sources and upload it to SAP; or to create statistical key figures, make adjustments to CO-PA data, and perform other ad-hoc data operations that are difficult when used in SAP.
