SACP21: SAP Analytics Cloud: Planning

SACP21: SAP Analytics Cloud: Planning develops the practical capability to build planning models, versions, data actions, allocations, predictive forecasts, workflows, and governed planning applications in SAP Analytics Cloud. The course connects SAP concepts with controlled execution, evidence-based decisions, and responsibilities that can be reviewed after implementation.

Applied work follows a finance planning team replacing spreadsheets with collaborative driver-based planning, controlled versions, allocations, approvals, and forecast updates. Learners create planning model and version workbook, planning logic and allocation evidence pack, forecast and planning workflow register, planning governance and support plan. Scenario testing addresses realistic conditions including a private version is published over a newer public baseline without review; an allocation leaves an unassigned balance because one receiver member is excluded; a planning task closes before regional contributors complete their submissions; a planner can edit an entity outside the assigned responsibility area.

By completion, participants can apply the relevant SAP processes and configuration, explain observed results, correct supported exceptions, and hand over monitored controls that sustain governed collaborative planning.
