In this blog i have summarised what SAP Advanced Compliance Reporting is and how it is helpful to the customers specially in complex environments having multiple source systems. It is best to leverage on top of SAP S/4HANA in SAP Central Finance scenario where SAP and Non-SAP systems are replicating Financial data to SAP S/4HANA.

Without SAP Central Finance as well when single instance of SAP S/4HANA is used the ACR is helpful from compliance perspective.

Advanced Compliance Reporting is a unique and competitive legal reporting solution that allows you to manage your regulatory requirements across the globe. The solution offers features that ensure your complex and diverse legal reporting needs are addressed in uniform, easy to use, and efficient manner. SAP Advanced Compliance Reporting (ACR) is available for SAP S/4HANA OPE and Cloud both. Its helps customers with managing the legal reporting comprehensively.

Since ECC is phasing out in few years, lot of legal changes are surfacing in different countries it is imperative to implement SAP ACR. Also, many legal authorities ask to directly submit the tax records electronically like Spain implemented SII, Brazil has NF-e

With SAP Central Finance, it make sense to put ACR as all the Financial data is being replicated to SAP S/4HANA system from several source systems so rather doping the legal reporting from different systems, why not to leverage SAP S/4HANA


 

SAP ACR with S/4HANA has transformed the legal reporting completely.
