Why is it necessary to think creatively – it is just an IT system, after all …

The secret has to do with being able to match the numerous standard processes that SAP has developed with the customer’s special requirements. 

This is best illustrated with an example:

The new accounts regulations from the Danish State contain a number of special requirements that do not immediately apply to ordinary Danish companies. In principle, there are therefore no standard processes that cover these accounts processes in the Danish setup of the system. However, a closer inspection reveals that

requirements for special postings in Asset Accounting for donations are similar to the corresponding requirements in Indian accounts for environmental subsidy

requirements for special postings in connection with stock receipts match corresponding requirements in Spanish accounts 

By “thinking creatively” in this way, it is therefore possible to match processes and ensure that even companies with special requirements can continue to base their solution on a standard setup.

However, creative thinking of this kind naturally demands experience, in-depth knowledge and a professional network to use as a sounding board. Which is precisely what distinguishes our consultants.
