RAR RAPID DEPLOY
SAP RAR Implementation
Start from proven patterns, not from a blank system.
RAR Rapid Deploy is the second package of the Revident RAR Launchpad. It takes SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting (RAR) from target design to production with reusable configuration templates, AI agents for repeatable engineering and testing work, and SAP and revenue accounting specialists who approve every decision. The package covers revenue recognition under ASC 606 and IFRS 15 and, where your business requires it, lessor accounting under ASC 842 and IFRS 16. It is the delivery core of our Agentic Revenue Recognition solution.
Typical Starting Points
• You are moving from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA, where SD revenue recognition is no longer available, and revenue accounting needs a new home.
• Revenue under ASC 606 is calculated in spreadsheets, and allocation, contract modifications, and disclosures depend on manual work.
• Your contracts combine equipment, software, services, or subscriptions, and each element follows its own recognition pattern.
• You lease equipment to customers and want lessor accounting under ASC 842 and IFRS 16 in SAP RAR, without additional software or licenses.
• An assessment – our RAR Discover package or your own – has produced a blueprint, and you need a team to implement it.
What RAR Rapid Deploy Includes
Template-Based Configuration
Performance obligation types, BRFplus rules, standalone selling prices, allocation, and account determination – built on reusable patterns and adapted to your contracts and accounting policies.
Source Integration
Connection of SAP SD, SAP BRIM, service and contract management in SAP S/4HANA, and non-SAP systems through revenue accounting items.
Lessor Leasing as a Scenario
Operating leases close to the SAP standard; sales-type, direct financing, and finance leases with customer-specific logic for present value, interest, and selling profit, coordinated with Asset Accounting. Lease classification is made in the source process and passed to RAR.
Migration of Open Contracts
Transfer date, loading of in-flight contracts, validation, and reconciliation of migrated balances.
Testing and Reconciliation
Contract lifecycle scenarios, allocation and posting validation, and reconciliation between RAR, the source systems, and the general ledger.
Cutover and Go-Live Support
Production deployment and support through the first period-end close.
Documentation and Handover
Design documentation, test evidence, and knowledge transfer to your finance and SAP teams.
How the Implementation Runs, Phase by Phase
The phases follow our Rapid Deployment approach. Each phase ends with a defined result and a documented sign-off. AI agents prepare; people decide.
Discover
What happens: AI agents analyze existing processes, configuration, custom code, contract structures, and transaction patterns. Our consultants work through your contract scenarios with finance and map them to the five-step model under ASC 606. If RAR Discover came first, this phase confirms and details its blueprint.
What you contribute: Representative contracts, accounting policies, system access, and key users from revenue accounting and SAP.
Result: A confirmed scope, a catalog of contract scenarios, and a target design.
Sign-off: Your revenue accounting lead and your SAP owner approve the target design.
Configure
What happens: We apply the templates for performance obligation types, BRFplus rules, standalone selling prices, allocation, and account determination, and adapt them to your scenarios. Where leases are in scope, the lessor logic is added. AI agents draft configuration proposals and documentation from the target design; our consultants review and complete them.
What you contribute: Standalone selling price data, policy decisions, the mapping to your chart of accounts, and decisions on any deviation from the templates.
Result: A configured RAR system, documented against the target design.
Sign-off: Our RAR lead approves the configuration. Your accounting lead approves the accounting-relevant rules, such as standalone selling prices, allocation, and account determination.
Integrate
What happens: Source systems are connected so that order, fulfillment, and invoice data reach RAR as revenue accounting items in the right sequence. Interfaces to non-SAP sources are built, and the migration of open contracts is prepared. AI agents analyze existing interfaces and custom code and generate mapping documentation and interface artifacts.
What you contribute: Owners of the source systems, interface specifications for non-SAP systems, and clean-up of source data.
Result: Source documents flow into RAR, and the migration approach and transfer date are agreed.
Sign-off: Your IT and integration owners approve the interfaces. Finance approves the transfer date.
Validate
What happens: AI agents generate test scenarios from your contract patterns and simulate full contract lifecycles – partial fulfillment, invoicing, modifications, and terminations. Allocation, postings, and contract assets and liabilities are validated, and RAR is reconciled with the source systems and the general ledger. Migration test runs check completeness and balances.
What you contribute: User acceptance testing by your key users and review of the accounting results.
Result: Documented test evidence, reconciled results, and a cleared defect list.
Sign-off: Your finance team signs off acceptance testing and the accounting results. The evidence is ready for your auditors and SOX documentation.
Deploy
What happens: We execute the cutover plan, move the solution to production, and migrate open contracts: operational load, initial load, validation, and reconciliation. Then the status changes from migration to productive, and we support the first period-end close.
What you contribute: Cutover decisions, freeze windows, and key users available during the close.
Result: SAP RAR live in production, migrated balances reconciled to the general ledger, and the first close completed.
Sign-off: The switch from migration to productive status is not meant to be undone, so your controller approves it formally. Your steering committee makes the go-live decision.
AI Agents Prepare, People Decide
RAR Rapid Deploy follows human-governed automation. AI agents take on the repeatable work: system analysis, generation of configuration proposals and implementation artifacts, test scenario generation, and reconciliation analysis. SAP and revenue accounting specialists own accounting treatments, configuration decisions, and production readiness. Every decision is documented, so finance, IT, and auditors can trace why the system behaves as it does.
What You Receive
• SAP RAR configured, tested, and live in production
• Design documentation: scenario catalog, performance obligation types, rules, and account determination
• Open contracts migrated with balances reconciled to the general ledger
• Test evidence and reconciliations for audit and SOX documentation
• A reusable regression test set for future changes
• Trained key users and complete handover documentation
From Go-Live to Continuous Intelligence
After go-live, revenue keeps flowing through RAR every day. With RAR Continuous Intelligence, we keep the system stable: ongoing monitoring, regression testing based on the test set built during the implementation, and agentic issue analysis at every close. If you do not have a blueprint yet, start with RAR Discover.
