The search for differences in the period-end closing is like looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack. And this search doesn't even include a guarantee that the differences can be located and explained - and certainly not within the tight time frame of the period-end closing. This is especially true since the controller, who is an acknowledged expert in his own world of figures, all too often finds himself challenged by the SAP technology. With our product CO-PA Difference Search by PIKON, we provide a complete overview of how the differences that appear between the Financial Accounting (FI) and the Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) at the end of the period-end closing originated, and what system settings can explain them.

When planning inventory levels, making sure that there is neither a surplus nor a shortage of material in stock is a fine art. Forecasts can be used as a way to respond to changes in requirements. SAP ERP offers various transactions for this purpose, however, all the information required can never be entered as one transaction. A great deal of work is needed to gather all the necessary data. With our product Forecast Controlling by PIKON it is possible to select materials based on diverse selection criteria and to have the information displayed at a glance. In addition Forecast Controlling by PIKON provides a possibility of branching in the material master to change consumption figures and of restarting the forecast.

Many companies struggle with the overview and control of their material master data, although the quality of master data determines the correctness of the entire business process. Unfortunately, there is no standard material master verification tool which would allow users a complete overview of the material master correctness and usage. With our product Material Master Cockpit by PIKON, we offer a powerful tool for the analysis of such master data. It is easy to use and offers a quick, simple and up-to-date overview of all the master data required. You see all the information at a glance and benefit from the diverse investigation options. Material Master Cockpit by PIKON saves an immense amount of time, money and stress.

Information of relevance for production is often not shown in the production order. Additional work is needed to have it displayed and flow into the production process. It is also impossible to create further long texts in the order and to distribute these on various printed forms in SAP standard. With our product Production Order Text Management by PIKON, we offer a flexible software tool for the transfer and creation of a variety of long texts in the production order. Central long texts from the customer order and the material master are thus already available and further texts can be included without any great effort.

A number of new reports are created in each SAP ERP system each day, whether this is because there are no SAP standard reports or because the SAP standard reports do not suffice. Field staff in particular, as well as internal employees need the same evaluations time and again and wish to have finished evaluations sent to them instead of doing them themselves. Employees in the field have regular access to their SAP system in only a few cases but they can access their e-mails. PIKON's product Report Distribution by PIKON is a tool for the distribution of reports from SAP ERP throughout the company. The reports can be distributed both in PDF and XLS format. They are simply sent as an attach-ment to an e-mail, allowing people who are not SAP users to receive them.

There is no simple transaction in SAP standard that could give a complete overview of the materials for which there are requirements, how these requirements are met and when there is a danger of stocks running short. This information should be able to be obtained simply and quickly. PIKON's product Stock Reporting by PIKON is a programme enabling materials to be selected based on diverse selection criteria via a separate transaction and all the information to be shown at a glance. It allows imminent difficulties and need for action to be recognised immediately. You save valuable time and unnecessary expense.
