to define relationships, calculations, and
data of an organization or business
segment

Easy set up
• Models with multiple dimensions are easy to
create in an Excel-like interface

Preview Panel
• Visual representation of your modeled data

Data Import

▪ Split to cost centers according to allocation rule (“indirect activity allocation”)
▪ Inverse calculation according to the activity output of the receiving cost centers
Public 46
Activity Cost Rate Calculation

Activity Cost Rate Calculation

▪ Either with a single G/L account assigned,
i.e. without splitting
▪ Or with a flexible account splitting that
allows to assign different expense and
allocation accounts to different activity cost
rate accounts. This corresponds to the
primary cost component split in the classic
financial planning
▪ If needed, additional split to fix / variable
portion
▪ Iteration possible in case of multi-level or
cyclical activity consumption

“Classic” and “New” Financial Planning:
Scenario 1: SAP Analytics Cloud Only

Scenario appropriate for

• For SAP S/4HANA Cloud customers
• For new SAP S/4HANA On Premise customers
• For customers migrating to SAP S/4HANA On Premise that want to implement a new planning solution

Typical Setup
• SAP Analytics Cloud is the primary planning tool, complete financial planning is done in SAP Analytics Cloud
• After planning round is finished, plan data, activity cost rates and statistical key figures are exported to SAP S/4HANA
• Embedded Analytics (e.g., plan-actual comparisons) runs in SAP S/4HANA
• In certain scenarios Universal Allocation is used in SAP S/4HANA
– When it is crucial that actual an plan allocation run with the same rules and when it is too much effort to replicate
the allocation rules between SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP S/4HANA
– When required allocation features are missing in SAP Analytics Cloud
• Transfer programs between new tables (ACDOCP, ACCOSTRATE, FINSSKF) and classic tables are not needed

Public 124
“Classic” and “New” Financial Planning:
Scenario 2: SAP Analytics Cloud Combined with Classic Planning

Scenario appropriate for

• For customers migrating to SAP S/4HANA On Premise that want to modernize the existing, classic planning
implementation

Typical Setup
• In a transition phase, migrate some planning areas to SAP Analytics Cloud and leave others with classic
planning
• Move planning results from new planning to classic planning to be consumed in processes like activity
confirmation or cost estimate
• Leave dedicated planning tasks with classic planning, e.g., activity cost rate calculation with iteration and cost
component split
• Use data transfer programs between classic and new planning

Copy Financial Plan Data

Use
▪ With this app you can select financial plan data in a source category and copy it to
a target category

Key Features
You can use this app to
▪ Search for existing financial plan data by entering values in the filter fields.
You need to at least enter a value in the field Plan Category. The plan data in the
table is adjusted whenever you change an entry in a filter field
▪ Copy financial plan data from a source category to a target category.
Select the data you want to copy by filling in the filter values as described above
and copy the data to a target plan category. If your target category already contains
data for the filter selections you entered for the fields Ledger, Ledger Fiscal Year,
Fiscal Period, and Company Code, the data of the target category will be
overwritten by the data that is copied from the source category. In particular data in
the target category that matches the filter values for which no corresponding source
data exists will be deleted

Effects on Configuration
▪ It must be possible to copy data into the plan categories that are used. This means
that the plan categories must be flagged as Copy Allowed in the Maintain Category
