Perfect worlds

Is there a perfect ERP? In principle, yes, but the world is not perfect and therefore even the best ERP in the world needs suitable supplements, add-ons etc.

Confused? Yes, again and again: with its ERP solutions - from R/3 to S/4 - SAP promises consistent, error-free, all-encompassing end-to-end processes. Naturally, you can master every conceivable business and organizational challenge with SAP - but it's not that simple.

One example: In SAP's accounting and finance system (R/3 to S/4), all tasks can be solved if you live in a perfect world. In reality, however, there are incorrect postings, reversals, incorrect account assignments, etc.

In large companies, this doesn't happen one hundred times a year, but thousands of times a day. Without a suitable FI/CO supplement, such as those offered by BlackLine, reconciling accounts would be an endless Sisyphean task.

SAP has perfect E2E solutions, but only in a flawless world. For the rest of SAP's existing customers, there are add-ons and help from SAP partners.
