PRE-BUILT TESTS SPECIFICALLY FOR SAP
APPLICATIONS:
ACL Analysis App for P2PPre-built automated analyti cs that extract data from SAP ERP and analyze it to fi nd
possible indicators of risk across P2P, user management, and vendor management processes. ACL’s suite of Analysis Apps
are bundled sets of analyti cs that import and prepare source data, and then
perform analysis.
� TABLE AND FIELD NAME TRANSLATION� TABLE AND FIELD NAME TRANSLATION�Avoid confusion. With thousands of tables in SAP applicati ons with non-intuiti ve table and fi eld names, knowing what data the tables represent and which ones are relevant for analysis is a mind-boggling task. Direct Link gives you the opti on of having fi eld names translated to your own language or retain the original SAP German abbreviated fi eld names.
� SIMPLE RE-USE� SIMPLE RE-USE�Re-use your data queries. Aft er spending ti me fi nding the tables and fi elds required for your analysis, your query can be saved for use at a later ti me. Or use it as a starti ng point for your next analysis task that requires similar data. Or, automate your extracti ons by generati ng a single ACL command to re-use in your scripts.
� LOW IMPACT� LOW IMPACT�Extract data without impacti ng the performance or availability of SAP applicati ons. Opti ons include running queries in background mode (SAP priority C) and ability to schedule during non-peak ti mes. Automati on lets you maximize producti vity and minimize disrupti ons.
� AUTOMATEDReduce, reuse, recycle. Routi ne data retrieval and data analysis procedures can be executed via ACL scripts, thus enabling re-use and repeatability for economies of scale and increased producti vity. With ACL Analyti cs Exchange, data retrievals can be run nightly to provide the latest results to the team when they arrive fi rst thing in the morning, or provide data to a conti nuous testi ng process.
�PRODUCTIVITY ECOSYSTEM
Training, best-practi ces and producti vity boosters built-in. To help you succeed, we have heavily invested in creati ng a producti vity ecosystem to provide more
value. Your subscripti on includes access to online training, a library of pre-built risk analysis scripts, a rich knowledge base, an inspirati ons platf orm of ideas, and complete user guides.
ACL Direct Link provides a nice interface to SAP, interpreting the data well and
laying it out in plain English, which makes the results so simple to understand–even
for a complete novice to SAP systems.
