Financial processes with SAP FI/CO
A global logistics and transportation provider was facing significant challenges in its financial processes due to a fragmented system landscape and many manual steps
The problem
1.
Manual process steps proved to be time-consuming and error-prone, leading to delays in reporting and poor payment practices.
2.
Existing financial systems were not integrated, which made it difficult to report and analyze the financial figures holistically.
3.
Master data was not set up properly in the course of the S/4HANA transformation which led to additional manual effort.
The solution
1.
With the support of Vicoland Consulting Services, the client decided to bring a specialized Vico with industry expertise on board.
2.
A comprehensive SAP FI implementation, including the introduction of a centralized chart of accounts and the automation of accounts payable and accounts receivable.

Integration of SAP CO to enable detailed cost analysis and profitability assessments.
