Environments and Roles

SAP Cost and Revenue Allocation for Financial Products is targeted toward the business user. It is designed to enable the business department, e.g. Accounting and Controlling, to operate modeling, execution, and analysis of cost and revenue data with minimal IT involvement. The solution is delivered with three preconfigured user roles and provides each of those with a specialized working environment that is optimized to support them in their main area of responsibility:

  1. Modeling Environment

    Modeling Users define and set up the data and allocation models, which are used to create the results for further processes such as simulation, planning, measurement, and analysis. The models usually include parameters to change assumptions easily at a later time and to make them reusable. The modeling environment allows access to all functions provided by the solution.

  2. Execution Environment

    Execution Users make use of the defined models and can vary parameters that have been defined as part of the modeling. Access to the execution environment allows execution of the main functions of the model, including reports and controls, as well as the management of parameters.

  3. Analysis Environment

    Analysis Users make use of the results of the executed allocation models. Access to the analysis environment allows access to all analysis and reporting capabilities, including the creation of new reports and the individual customizations of layouts.
