The older alternative SAP ERP Planning relied on the SAP GUI user interface, the planning
process was sequential (Cost Center Plan, Project Plan and so on), with no direct sharing of
values, and it has a fixed data model.
BPC for S/4HANA has a HTML5 user interface, works with Analysis for Office, and has parallel
planning processes with HANA-optimized performance. It also offers workflow or workstatus
support and activity logs. Most importantly, it uses real-time actuals - so your plan reflects
your business.
Central Finance offers an alternative to planning processes in SAP ERP FI/CO, with real-time
access to actuals and master data from SAP ERP without data replication to BPC.
Since actual or current data and master data already exists in Central Finance, it is
unnecessary to load data to a separate system for planning purposes.
Currently no data transfer from Central finance system to source is available.
