Dec 14, 2018
Whenever we have to close the month we have only 5 to 6 days left to do it all, and if it is a weekend we get only 3 days which is impossible to close out all invoices or close out all the material expenses in such a short time.

    My overall experience with SAP Financial Cockpit was that it was a bit complicated to learn and implement, but once it was implemented, it worked smoothly and was much better at handling our month end/year end processes than driving the activities through a spreadsheet.
