What is the SAP Group Reporting Data Collection (GRDC)?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

SAP Group Reporting Data Collection (GRDC) enables form-based data entry. This means that input masks can be created to enter data yourself. In Group Reporting, access to current information is crucial. The Data Collection also offers a display of real-time data that has already been posted to the database. The forms can be structured with formulas and other display options as required. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Practical example: Types of movement and mirror information <\/strong><\/h2>\n

In order for consolidation to be carried out correctly, the data requires a certain level of detail. This requires, for example, a statement of changes in fixed assets with the various transactions. If this information is available in the upstream system, it can be transferred directly to Group Reporting. <\/p>\n

However, this data is often missing in non-SAP systems. GRDC enables this information to be enriched manually and uses forms to ensure that the corresponding movements are assigned and mapped correctly. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

What can the SAP Group Reporting Data Collection be used for?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

GRDC is provided by SAP as a public cloud application to enable efficient and, above all, rapid group consolidation. To this end, companies connect their systems to the software, which acts as an additional data integrator. Data enrichment can be carried out via form-based entries. In this way, users are guided safely through the process without relevant information (such as transaction types) falling by the wayside. Data can thus be recorded faster and largely error-free, which is particularly useful for fast-close processes and tight time frames. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Your benefits with Group Reporting Data Collection (GRDC)<\/h2>\n

\n
\n

Better data quality and consistency<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Incorrect or inconsistent data has potentially devastating consequences. Group Reporting Data Collection uses predefined rules and validations to ensure that the collected data is correct and consistent. Group Reporting Data Collection accesses the Group Reporting table (ACDOCU) directly and therefore always shows the data currently available in the database. This significantly increases data quality and minimizes inconsistencies. You can rest assured that your reports are based on reliable data. <\/p>\n

\n

More transparency and compliance<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Transparency is crucial, especially in regulated industries. Group Reporting Data Collection offers comprehensive transparency across the entire data collection process. All data entries and changes are logged and can be traced. <\/p>\n

This makes it much easier to comply with regulations and carry out audits. Companies can rest assured that their data is recorded securely and compliantly. In addition, different document types can be used when recording data. This means that data capture can be differentiated again separately and presented transparently. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Time and cost savings<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Time and resources are precious in every company. Manual data entry often requires countless hours of work to compile and check data. <\/p>\n

GRDC significantly reduces this burden. It allows employees to concentrate on strategic tasks and analyses instead of wasting time on time-consuming, repetitive tasks. This is made possible by the flexible input masks that can be created and the simultaneous display of real-time data. This leads to considerable time and cost savings and increases the efficiency of the company. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
