By using the master data from Group Reporting, you can enter the reporting data of your non-SAP companies in the SAC in a top-down approach or fully developed.
Both logics have a cross-company design and handling.
From S/4HANA Release 2022, the data can be exported directly to Group Reporting at the touch of a button.
In the previous versions, flat files can be generated or the data can be retrieved via an API.
By connecting to S/4HANA, you can carry out your planning at account level and load the data back into ACDOCP at any time.
From there, the data can be mapped and loaded into Group Reporting.
Alternatively, planning can be carried out at Group level based on your Group Reporting master data.
In this case, the ACDOCU serves as the target in Group Reporting.
The existing rules for consolidation and other evaluations are available to you in Group Reporting in both ways.
With SAC, plan data can be consolidated directly.
Consolidation is carried out using a simple procedure based on full consolidation.
By using a special account and audit hierarchy, the result of the plan consolidation can be displayed quickly and easily without affecting the dedicated reporting hierarchy.
The connection between SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) and SAP Group Reporting via ACDOCU enables seamless integration and data exchange between the two platforms.
This connection allows data from SAP Group Reporting to be imported into SAC in order to perform comprehensive analyses and reporting in the SAC environment.
In the BCS/4HANA environment, you can also transfer the master and notification data directly to the SAC and report or analyze it there.
