SAP GROUP REPORTING
SAP Group Reporting Implementation
Consolidation you can trace back to every contract, lease, and posting.
We implement and optimize SAP S/4HANA for Group Reporting, SAP’s consolidation solution, for groups that report under US GAAP and IFRS. Our focus is where consolidation is hardest to get right: intercompany eliminations, multi-GAAP group figures, and the revenue and lease balances that come from SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting (RAR), Asset Accounting, and lease accounting. Group Reporting can only consolidate what the entities deliver, so we design both sides together.
Typical Starting Points
• You are moving to SAP S/4HANA and need to replace consolidation in SAP ECC (EC-CS), another legacy consolidation tool, or a spreadsheet-based process.
• Intercompany balances do not match at period end, and differences are resolved by email and manual adjustments.
• Your group reports under US GAAP and IFRS, and the bridge between both group results is built outside the system.
• Intercompany leases, intercompany sales, or profit in inventory are eliminated with manual entries that are hard to explain to auditors.
• Contract assets, contract liabilities, and lease balances from SAP RAR and lease accounting need to roll up into group disclosures under ASC 606 and ASC 842.
• Non-SAP subsidiaries deliver their figures late or in inconsistent formats.

Where Group Reporting Meets Revenue and Lease Accounting
Most consolidation problems start in the entities. Elimination depends on the partner unit on every intercompany posting, and on financial statement items that keep revenue and lease balances identifiable. That is why we design the link to the source:
• SAP RAR: Contract assets, contract liabilities, and revenue from intercompany contracts flow to the right financial statement items with partner information.
• Intercompany leases: Right-of-use assets, lease liabilities, lease receivables, and lessor selling profit are captured so they can be eliminated in pairs – including cases where lease classification differs between ASC 842 and IFRS 16.
• Asset Accounting: Intercompany transfers of equipment and unrealized profit are visible at group level.
If your revenue or lease accounting runs in SAP RAR, consolidation becomes part of one design instead of a separate project. Learn more about our Agentic Revenue Recognition solution.
How We Work
Our approach follows Discover. Engineer. Validate. Operate.
Discover
AI agents analyze existing consolidation logic, mappings, intercompany postings, and data quality across entities. Our consultants confirm the findings with group accounting.
Engineer
We design and configure Group Reporting and the required changes in the entities, supported by AI-generated configuration proposals and documentation.
Validate
Test consolidation runs compare results with your current group figures. Deviations are analyzed by cause, and group accounting signs off the results.
Operate
We support the first consolidation closes and continue with ongoing support where needed.
AI agents take on repeatable analysis, documentation, and testing. Experienced SAP and group accounting specialists own every design decision. That is human-governed automation: faster delivery with full traceability for finance, IT, and auditors.
