Introduction
In today’s business world, it is crucial for companies to be able to manage their financial reports efficiently and centrally. An effective tool for this is the Review Booklet, which was developed specifically for reporting in the finance sector. This blog post describes the creation of a new Review Booklet for group reporting from both a technical and a management perspective. The goal is to explain the advantages and benefits of the Review Booklet and to demonstrate how the problem of predefined, non-customizable reports can be solved.
The Problem with Pre-designed Review Booklets
A common problem when using SAP Review Booklets is that the delivered Review Booklet largely contains predefined columns and reports that cannot be customized. As a result, companies have difficulty adapting the reports to their specific needs and requirements. This lack of flexibility can compromise the efficiency and accuracy of reporting and make users feel that their options are limited. Most companies use so-called balance sheet reports (statements of fixed assets, equity, or provisions), which are not included in the pre-delivered Review Booklet. Furthermore, not every customer has a profit and loss statement prepared using the revenue and total cost methods, which leads to redundancy in the app.
Benefits of a Customized Review Booklet
- Centralization of Reports: All key financial reports are consolidated in one place, making them easier to manage and access.
- Improved user-friendliness: Thanks to the app integration, users can quickly and easily access the information they need.
- Efficient Reporting: The structured presentation of reports enables faster and more accurate analysis of financial data in real time.
- Flexibility and Customizability: A custom review booklet can be tailored to a company’s specific needs to create customized reports.

The solution to the problem of predefined, non-customizable review booklets lies in using the Review Booklet Designer.
