The New General Ledger
The streamlined functionality of the new general ledger accounting software in SAP ERP makes it significantly easier to comply with the latest standards for corporate governance and international financial reporting – while adding flexibility and supporting a fast period end close.

We work closely with key decision makers in your organisation to determine current business processes and requirements for future development.
Stage 2 – Blueprint Definition & Planning
Approximately 1-2 weeks
Activities at this stage include working closely with you to create a blueprint of the requirements documented in stage 1, and developing a project plan that details key milestones and deliverables.
Stage 3 – Configuration
Approximately 1 month Changes are made to configure the system according to your organisation’s requirements.
Stage 4 – Testing
Approximately 1-2 months
All your organisation’s business processes are tested to determine how they react with the new general ledger set up. During this stage, We provide as much support as your business requires.
Stage 5 – Data Migration
