2. Minimize summarization
3. Support FERC with CO documents
4. Push costs to the facility level

Five SAP Controlling Best Practices for Utilities

When utility companies first started to use the SAP ERP in the mid-nineties, cost flows were meant to be simple and system designs were largely FI-centric. 

Much has changed in the last 20 years: cost models have grown more complex; CO documents contain valuable, often untapped, information; and assessments are increasingly used. As a result, good visibility into costs is harder to achieve and defensible regulatory reporting requires more work. Fortunately, this trend can be reversed. 

In this Webinar, you'll learn five SAP Controlling best practices from HPC America to increase reporting clarity and efficiency, eliminate reconciliation issues between CO and FERC, and ultimately strengthen the utility's position in regulatory inquiries and rate cases.

Meet us at the 2014 SAP Controlling Conference

For the second year in a row, HPC will sponsor ERP Corp's SAP Controlling conference. We'll be in San Diego on September 22-23 for the event, which we found to offer 100% substance and 0% fluff last year.

HPC will exhibit our NetWeaver-based cost adjustment solution for SAP, the HPC Journal Entry Transfer Solution (JETS). JETS enables authorized users to adjust primary and secondary costs directly in the ERP, improving data integrity, financial controls, and audit trails. Watch a demo video of HPC JETS that shows how to correct mischarged internal orders easily from the SAP GUI you know and love.

ERP Corp has lined up a number of customers to speak about real-world SAP controlling scenarios, including case studies from McCormick, Deere & Co., Eli Lilly, Rockwell Automation, Woodward, and SPX Genfare. Learn more about what's new at Controlling 2014.

We'll update this space as our plans for Controlling 2014 develop over the year. In the meantime, please contact us if you'd like to meet at the event. We look forward to seeing you in San Diego!
