EzyActuals for SAP

EzyActuals is a role-based improvement tool that integrates specific transactional and master data maintenance transactions with SAP R/3 – seamlessly, that is, EzyActuals is fully integrated with SAP. EzyActuals improves a users role by providing a single user interface, Microsoft Excel. Users make changes exclusively in Excel; no additional transactions are required in SAP.

This approach is closely aligned with the way people work.

For further information on EzyActuals, please contact us. We can provide a whitepaper or a guided virtual demonstration of EzyActuals for SAP R/3. You can also get a 2 weeks trial version for evaluation on your own data.

Functionality

As of December 2002 PCS Consult has released Version 1.4 of EzyActuals for SAP. EzyActuals consists of a number of modules. These are:

Transactional Data Processing:

• General Ledger Journals
• Recurring Journals
• Accounts Payable Invoices
• Accounts Receivable Invoices
• Statistical Key Figure (SKF) Postings
• Goods Movements
• Asset Acq & Retirement

Master Data Maintenance (including creating and changing):

• Bill's of Materials
• BOMS's & Routings
• Projects/WBS's
• Customers
• Vendors
• Chart of Accounts
• Cost Centres
• Cost Centre Groups
• Profit Centres
• Assets
• Purchase Info Records
  

Features

• Post and/or save data to SAP R/3 – whether it be through journals, recurring journals, master data maintenance or SKF postings
• Advanced error checking – The advanced error checking is one of the key differentiators from a simple load program. Standard SAP R/3 error messages are passed back to Excel, therefore the user sees exactly as if they had input directly into SAP
• Master data validation – As standard SAP R/3 methods are used to update SAP the same master data validation and authorisation checking as the manual transaction is used.
• Posting locks – As standard SAP R/3 methods are used to update SAP, EzyActuals receives postings locks if someone is processing a transaction against the records we are attempting to update through EzyActuals.
• Supports manual entry or formulas – with EzyActuals it is possible to enter data either as a manual number, a formula or a reference to another sheet. In this way EzyActuals integrates directly with a user spreadsheet without extra steps as is the case with a normal upload program.
  

Benefits

The main business benefits of EzyActuals are completly aligned with that of our EzyPlan product. Such benefits are achieved through:

• Simplification
• Efficiency
• Increased Functionality
• Improved User Satisfaction
• Lower Cost of Processing

It therefore saves you time and money.The main benefit areas include:

• The current process of manually rekeying data from a spreadsheet to SAP R/3 will be eliminated. This will save on the cost of temps, the training effort required, the cost of data entry mistakes, rework and rechecking.
• Multiple transactions (journals, recurring journals, SKF postings, etc) can be processed from one virtual worksheet in Excel. This effectively replaces several transactions with one;
• Existing Excel models and formats can be enabled rather than recreated from scratch
• It is easier to use than standard SAP R/3 screens
• It minimises (re)training requirements as users can use Excel rather than SAP R/3 – something they often prefer and a more intuitive product
• The full functionality of Excel can be used
