Unit 1: Business Consolidation with SAP Group Reporting Overview

● Apps in the SAP Fiori launchpad: Users can change or create settings by using
consolidation-related SAP Fiori apps, for example, changing consolidation units/groups
and their time-dependent hierarchies. These changes are done directly in the productive
(P) system and are not transported.
● SSCUIs (Self-Service Configuration User Interfaces) :
Users can make further configuration settings by using SSCUIs. These settings are usually
changed less often than those made via SAP Fiori Apps. Also, they might require up-front
testing in the quality (Q) system before transporting to the P system.
