Profitability Analysis Period-End CloseAllocation of cost on profitability objects requires the selection of reference dataWith ERP on HANA, total runtime can be reduced up to 50% depending on scenario

Overhead CalculationOverhead calculation allocates overhead costs to cost objects for actual/plan data. Allocation is based on the quantity or as % of the direct costs.Typical target cost objects are cost center, internal order, production order, sales order, project, WBS element, network, …Programs will typically only need half the time

Accelerated Period-End Processes Powered by SAP HANAExamples


Material Ledger Period End ClosingProcesses and Runtimes

Material Ledger Closing runs after a month is closed as preparation for financial reportingIt is a multi-step process. Runtimes are an issue for

Material SelectionSingle Level SettlementMulti-Level SettlementPost Closing

Depending on data and transaction volume runtimes of single steps can take up to 12 hours. Even shorter runtimes of 1 hour are seen as pain point by customers, because sometimes they have to be simulated, repeated, and they have to follow a strict sequence with other period-end processes from accounting and general ledger.

Overhead Calculation

Overhead calculation allocates overhead to cost objects in actual/plan data. Overhead keys serve to calculate different overhead rates for different objects (such as the material being manufactured). Overhead costs are allocated to the cost objects based on the quantity or as a percentage of the direct costs.

Runtime improvement:• Programs will typically only

need half the time

• Programs for overhead calculation read aggregated line-item information from SAP HANA instead of totals tables
