By Design, a pure cloud ERP from SAP first came to market in 2007 enjoying considerable success, with its straight forward implementation appealing particularly to the less complicated end of the SME space – garnering it a large and varied install base. One of the first cloud ERPs to embrace the OData data access standard, data extraction is indeed possible, if a little tricky, for third party, or home grown reporting solutions.
But times change and with Business By Design rather superseded by SAP S/4 Hana in early 2015, the platform now exists in a kind of no-mans land: still supported, occasionally sold, but without significant new functionality being brought to market and receiving little love, even from third party vendors, despite the great many customers still using it.
With the release of FastClose 3.2, FastClose adds support for SAP Business By Design focussing in the first instance on reporting over the GL, AR and AP ledgers with further support for Planning over the GL. Dive into the detail, or consolidate to see the big picture, the choice is yours, with drilling to and from the GL to AR and AP to see where those numbers came from. Navigate the numbers in a way that has never been possible with the native tools.
With FastClose’ easy to use interface, reporting challenges such as adding a new column to a report, analysing by day, week or month, pivotting data or adding calculated items become easy. Why learn OData or the relationships between SAP Business By Design business entities, when FastClose has already done it for you. You can even get planning against your SAP Business By Design actuals in minutes using FastClose planning system, reporting actuals against planned outcomes at whatever level of detail you need to effortlessly find your variance to plan.
Nor is FastClose limited to simple navigations such as drilling from a consolidated P&L number to see the detailed GL transactions beneath. It can go much further using something we call “drill anywhere” which makes it possible to surf the live numbers from subsystem to subsystem.

To arrange installation and connection to your SAP Business By Design instances

Users immediately benefit from out-of-the-box content in the "Read & Drill" and Excel Addin products.
There will inevitably be reporting needs that are specific to the way you do business. Whilst creating your own FastClose reports isn't hard, we recognise that smaller teams often don't have the time to spend on a new tool.
With "FastCose Designer" your SAP implementation partner can build out and deploy new reporting content to your requirements rapidly. And if your team subsequently have a bit more time they too can discover the flexibility and power of "FastClose Designer" for themselves.
