SAP Business One ACCOUNTING & FINANCIAL PLANNING
Finance & Analysis How does SAP Business One help you with financial planning?
SAP Business One facilitates all financial processes: from keeping the general ledger, daily accounting, checking invoices and budget planning to account set-up and maintenance. With this ERP you have all data for accounting and financial accounting in one place - including all reports and tools as well as a practical DATEV interface.
Features
This is what the accounting software does for your company
The powerful SAP Business One software has many functions ready for your company. Whether you want to manage your company finances or analyse data: all the necessary tools and processes are already integrated in the standard. This means that accounting, charts of accounts or, for example, the management of accruals and deferrals can be completed in no time at all. The individual functions interlock seamlessly. Important data can be retrieved for each function - monthly or annually, as you wish.
- Accounting:
The software already provides you with standard templates for charts of accounts for the most common scenarios. This gives you a quick start in accounting right from the beginning. In addition to the templates, you can of course also create individual charts of accounts that are precisely adapted to your business requirements. It is also possible to adopt charts of accounts from your tax advisor. - Journal entries::
In addition the SAP software also offers process automation options, for the efficient handling of accounting transactions: Journal entries it creates automatically for transactions in sales, purchasing and bank settlements. You can create your own journal entries and search for existing journal entries. Automatically assign each transaction to a project or profit centre.
- Quick drilldown:
At the transaction level, SAP Business One accounting software allows you to drill down quickly and easily: For example, if a journal entry for a sales transaction is displayed, you can easily navigate to the chart of accounts information. Zooming into hierarchical data is easy. - Complete chart of accounts:
In the chart of accounts you can also drill down to the individual transactions that make up the respective balances. The chart of accounts forms the basis for report generation and all postings of your company. You simply adapt the different levels to your usual business processes.
- PRAP & ARAP:
SAP Business One also offers useful tools in this area, such as the automated reposting of revenues or expenses to accrual and deferral accounts or the accrual-based back posting according to variable period parameters, taking into account periods that have already been closed.
This add-on is used by those responsible in financial accounting. The introduction of the functionality requires a handling concept adapted to each company as well as the set-up of the corresponding accounts. - Profit centre & report:
SAP also simplifies accounting and financial management in other ways with the Business One software: you can create different departments or profit centres individually with little effort and simply assign the expense accounts from the chart of accounts to a predefined profit centre.
With the help of the report, you can then run a simple profit and loss statement. Each report is based on direct and indirect costs and revenues and can be queried annually or monthly for individual profit centres.
- Budgets
You can define, manage and reconcile budgets with general ledger accounts and split payments - even in different currencies. The ERP's alarm functions warn of monthly budget overruns. - Accounting templates
You can set different account templates for the general ledger with just a few clicks. This not only saves you time. You also avoid error-prone journal entries that can occur with manual entry.
Well integrated
