Multi-Entity ERP Consolidation & Financial Harmonization Framework
A group of branches brought onto one ERP, so that its books are closed from one set of records.
The challenge
A multi-branch group closed its month late because every branch kept its own stock and ledger records. Inventory was duplicated across its warehouses, and intercompany invoices were reconciled by hand, which hid the financial health of the group as a whole.
The plan
We designed one SAP Business One system for all the business units, with automatic intercompany postings and a single group chart of accounts.
How it was carried out
Delivered in phases: business-process blueprinting, master-data cleansing, warehouse barcode integration, and training for the people who would run the system. The timing of each phase was set after the assessment, not before it.
The technology
- SAP Business One
- SAP HANA In-Memory Database
- Crystal Reports
- Custom API Gateway
What changed
- One database in place of several separate legacy systems
- Intercompany transactions posted and balanced automatically
- Stock visible across every warehouse, with serial-number tracking
- The same chart of accounts across all of the group’s subsidiaries
What comes next:Integrating AI-assisted reading of supplier invoices, so that accounts payable reconciles directly into the SAP ledger.
The work belongs to our Enterprise Business Solutions practice.
