• Background and Objectives - P&L Simulation

• Solution Approach

• Demo – Insights Hub


BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES – P&L SIMULATION

Background Objectives

• Current P&L simulation process is highly manual Develop Capability to automate simulation process

• Excel based process that is time consuming and done • Ability to import required data from the SAP IBP platform for the base
category by category forecast
• Ability to import all driver data (e.g., rates, promo data, new products,
• Complex manual process with multiple personas etc.) and provide automatic simulations
including sales, marketing, NPD, etc. providing rate and
other inputs to the simulation over the course of the • Better visualization capabilities and user experience
year
• Being able to simulate monthly as well as month end –X
• Current SAC based implementation piloting in UK not • Lay the foundation for more advanced features
aligned with LATAM needs – visualization, costs,
timeline Scope: All LA regions, starting with WACAM

Target Personas: FP&A Planner, Others
