SAP Business Planning and Consolidation

SAP is implemented throughout global operations

19

Why SAP BPC?

Simplify planning and reduce budgeting cycle-time

Overhead planning had been undertaken on a

multitude of spreadsheets, all different at each of

the sites, and with multiple versions in circulation.

The initial pilot introduced the planning side of SAP

BPC with Overhead Planning

20

Why SAP BPC?

Megger then implemented Consolidation in SAP

BPC in order to meet two real objectives:

• to move away from the current consolidation platform

• to introduce the robust platform as a method of improving

control around the consolidation, and provide a more

flexible platform for the group.

The planning platform scope was expanded further

in 2014 for the 2015 planning round to encompass

the planning of trade revenues by country, source

manufacturing site.

21

Approach to Implementation

SAP BPC was delivered by Ciber in only 20 days

The project implemented Ciber's cost centre based

overhead planning model

The accelerated implementation was due to the

capability to deploy and adapt Ciber's self-

contained planning models

Knowledge transfer and support
