SAP BPC 10.X / 2021

SAP Business Planning and Consolidation — the finance-centric platform that bridges familiar Excel workflows with enterprise-grade planning and consolidation power.

Platform Overview

SAP BPC: Finance Tool Built for Finance Teams

SAP BPC integrates seamlessly with SAP and non-SAP source systems, supports Excel-based workflows via the EPM Add-in, and handles both planning and consolidation in a single platform.

EPM Add-in for Excel

Finance teams use familiar Excel templates — but with direct BPC data connectivity, version management, and workflow. No more manually maintained spreadsheets.

Dynamic Reporting

BPC reports refresh live from the database. Compare actuals vs. budget vs. forecast with automatic intercompany eliminations applied.

Embedded Model (S/4HANA)

BPC Embedded runs inside S/4HANA with live access to transactional data. No ETL, no latency — plan on real numbers.

HTML5 Web Client

Modern browser-based interface for non-Excel users — input schedules, approval workflow, and management dashboards accessible from any device.

SAC & BDC Integration

Connect SAP Analytics Cloud and Business Data Cloud directly to BPC models for advanced analytics, predictive insights, and BDC & Datasphere capability.
