Integration between Separate SAP Systems after an acquisition

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

The scenario goes like this. Company A has acquired Company B. Both companies are on SAP ECC as of now. Company A is planning to implement altogether new SAP for both the firms which will be live 1 year from now.

In the interim, Both ECC Systems for company A and B will run until the new SAP is ready. Customization(invest) in the old systems is not possible (unless it is the only way) as ultimately they will be decommissioned.

How we can best approach this project with respect to business processes around FICO and Procurement for both the companies for Consolidation? What should be the steps for successfully completing this kind of projects? Looking for workarounds in the interim with minimal development in the ECC systems.

Regards,

Hi Gustavo,

Thanks for the answer.

Here, the plan is to run both the systems in parallel for a short period and then decomission those systems. In this scenario, what processes will be impacted in both the systems. And what workaround is possible for short period of 6 months so that both system run as is ?

Regards,

Hi Priyam,

If you are planning to merge both companies, SLO Company Code Merge could be the product.

If you are going to S/4 Hana Simple Finance, I would suggest SAP Central Finance.

Kind Regards
