Journal entries and finance master data were being corrected after posting rather than validated before it. Reconciliation differences surfaced late in the close, and each one required a trace back through nineteen company codes to find where the entry had originated.
The finance function had the people to absorb this. What it did not have was a close calendar with any slack left in it.
Promenta applied validation and approval to finance transactions at the point of entry, using the existing SAP authorisation structure rather than a parallel one. Supporting documentation is attached to the entry itself, so the evidence and the transaction never separate.
The first-time-right rate on finance postings reached 99.4 percent, which took the reconciliation work out of the close rather than merely speeding it up. The group measured a 3.1x return on the associated SAP investment inside eighteen months.
