Aalberts Industries N.V. | Manufacturing | 14000 | $3.2B | Netherlands | SAP | SAP Business Planning and Consolidation | EPM | 2016 |
In 2016, Aalberts Industries N.V. implemented SAP Business Planning and Consolidation as a centralized group consolidation and cash flow reporting solution, categorized as EPM. The project addressed long standing limitations in their consolidation processes and targeted the companys multi-acquisition footprint, which included 80 acquisitions over 20 years and operations across 150 locations worldwide.
The SAP Business Planning and Consolidation deployment included periodic consolidation logic and automated cash flow statement generation. Functional capabilities configured included automatic calculation of acquisition opening balances, preservation of acquisition history, conversion of local currencies using fixed rates, allowance for exchange rate differences in individual cash flow mutations, and validations to improve data quality at submission.
Operational design covered automated processing of acquisitions and currency updates, shared current exchange rates for all reporting units, and support for what if analyses with currency conversion applied. The implementation used a combination of manual input schedules and automatic uploads, leveraged Excel familiarities in the user interface, and was rolled out to an initial user base with 60 to 70 in-house trainees, extending to group companies that consolidate multiple local entities.
Governance and support were centralized through a one-stop outsourcing model with consultancy from Finext and hosting and support provided by Swap Support, which also managed a simultaneous SAP BPC version migration. Reported outcomes in the engagement included shorter process times, more rapid analyses, improved audit trails for exchange differences presented in equity and cash flow statements, and materially improved data quality and user adoption.
