SAP S/4HANA Group Reporting: Consolidation, Data Collection and Leaving BPC or EC-CS

Covers consolidation in SAP S/4HANA Finance for group reporting: consolidation units and posting levels, data collection through release, flexible upload and Excel, currency translation, interunit eliminations and reclassifications, and matrix consolidation by profit center and segment. It closes with the options and dates for leaving BPC (NetWeaver mainstream maintenance ends 2027) or EC-CS, and the parallel run that proves the new group result before the old tool is switched off.
