RAR DISCOVER
SAP RAR Assessment
Know where your revenue accounting stands – and what it takes to get it right.
RAR Discover is the first package of the Revident RAR Launchpad. It combines an AI-assisted system assessment with accounting expertise to give you a clear fit-gap analysis and a deployment blueprint – whether you are planning SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting (RAR) or need a health check of an existing installation.
Typical Starting Points
You Are Planning to Implement SAP RAR
• Your contracts combine products, services, subscriptions, or leases, and revenue under ASC 606 and IFRS 15 is still handled in spreadsheets or a legacy process.
• You are moving to SAP S/4HANA and need to decide how revenue accounting fits into the target architecture.
• You need equipment leases on the lessor side under ASC 842 and IFRS 16 handled within revenue accounting.
• You want to know how far standard functionality takes you before any design work starts.
Your Existing SAP RAR Is Causing Problems
• Period-end close takes longer than it should, or runs depend on manual workarounds.
• Revenue accounting items get stuck in error and need repeated manual processing.
• RAR, the source systems, and the general ledger do not reconcile without manual adjustments.
• Contract changes, allocation, or contract balances produce results that finance cannot easily explain to auditors.
• Custom code and configuration have grown over time, and nobody has a complete picture anymore.
What RAR Discover Includes
System Assessment
Analysis of your RAR configuration, BRFplus rules, performance obligation types, integration with SAP SD and other source systems, and custom developments.
Process and Data Review
Inbound processing of revenue accounting items, error patterns, period-end steps, and reconciliation between RAR and the general ledger.
Accounting Review
How your contracts map to the five-step model under ASC 606 and IFRS 15 – performance obligations, standalone selling prices, allocation, and contract modifications – and, where relevant, lessor accounting under ASC 842 and IFRS 16.
Fit-Gap Analysis
Which requirements the SAP standard covers, where configuration or extensions are needed, and where current design deviates from your accounting policy.
Deployment Blueprint
A target design and roadmap for implementation or remediation, ready to move into RAR Rapid Deploy or into your own project.
How We Work
RAR Discover follows the first steps of our approach: Discover. Engineer. Validate. Operate.
Discover
AI agents analyze configuration, rules, custom code, and transactional patterns across your system. This creates a complete, structured view faster than manual analysis alone.
Engineer
Our consultants translate the findings into a target design that is correct from an accounting perspective and workable in daily operations.
Validate
Every finding and recommendation is reviewed by experienced SAP and revenue accounting specialists. AI accelerates the analysis; people make the judgment calls.
This is human-governed automation: traceable, explainable results that finance, IT, and auditors can rely on.
What You Receive
• An assessment report on the current state of your SAP RAR system or revenue process
• A prioritized list of issues and risks, including root causes for recurring errors and reconciliation gaps
• A fit-gap matrix of requirements versus SAP standard functionality
• An accounting mapping of key contract scenarios to ASC 606 and IFRS 15 (and ASC 842 and IFRS 16 where leases are involved)
• A deployment blueprint with target design, recommended changes, and next steps
