Challenges for Managing Profitability
Why profitability management and cost
optimization, and why now

Investments in digitalization require cost savings elsewhere.

Therefore, demand for cost transparency is higher than ever.

Sophisticated cost models require allocations and analysis on

the most detailed level, joining information from multiple
data sources, and best done in real time.

But IT projects are supposed to return investments quickly.

Therefore, solutions must be productive in short a time
period.

Challenges in performance and scale can
obstruct insight

Process performance
▪ Business performance is impacted by poor profitability reporting
and month-end closing runtimes.
Data volumes
▪ Limited profitability insight and root-cause understanding are due
to large or incomplete data sets.
Speed of analysis and reporting
▪ Lack of access to trusted profitability data in a timely manner leads
to suboptimal business decisions.
Yet…
Challenging times mean ever-pressing needs.
▪ Access to trusted, timely, accurate, and detailed profitability
insight could determine corporate success or failure.

SAP Performance Management for Financial Services
Cost and revenue allocation: allocation methods

Support of all major allocation methods known for

revenues, costs, capital, reserves, or any other type of key
figure, both in the costing and account-based approach:
▪ Global recharges and expenses are used to charge services
across branches, which happens either at the start of a
performance model or after consolidation at the end.

▪ Assessments are common for transfers on cost-center level and

can be configured flexibly as cyclic iterations, accumulations,
step ladders, or normal transfers.

▪ Top-down allocations and distributions are used to bring

coarse granular key figures down to product, customer, and other
dimensions using one to several accurate drivers.

▪ Activity-based costing plays an important role, if resource and

activity drivers are used for allocation.

▪ Revenue splitting takes care of the distribution of all external

and internal revenue streams.

SAP Performance Management for Financial Services
Cost and revenue allocation: allocation types

Direct: Distributes key figures from the sender to the

receiver according to common characteristics from both
sides and based on the distribution base on the receiver
side
Indirect: Distributes key figures from the sender to the
receiver using a distribution base on the receiver side
Generic: Uses direct allocation logic if the sender and
receiver have common characteristics; otherwise, uses
indirect allocation logic
Global expenses indirect: Follows the logic of indirect
allocation; also includes offset records
Global expenses direct: Follows the logic of a direct
allocation; also includes offset records

If the system does not find matching characteristic values (no receivers are found for a given sender record) when using direct allocation or
indirect allocation (if some characteristics are marked as “self”), sender records that do not match become “unassigned items.” The system
processes these with the management of unassigned Items function.

SAP Performance Management for
Financial Services: key points

The solution provides full transparency of

profitability down to individual item level.

The complete code pushdown of application logic

to the database layer provides unique
capabilities never seen before.

The innovative way of reading input data enables

an independent implementation of an application
on the SAP HANA platform at manageable time
and cost, providing experiences for larger
transformation projects.

The solution fits optimally into the SAP HANA

platform, allowing customers to drastically reduce
data redundancy and get rid of costly
reconciliation issues.
