Test our solution without obligation

Proof of concept

Test our solution for managing third-party funds in SAP without obligation and with little effort as part of a test installation in your SAP system and with your own data.

The administration of third-party funds in SAP includes the structured management of funding applications, approvals, funding conditions and research projects. All relevant information, documents and process steps are managed centrally and documented in a traceable manner throughout the entire funding process.

A lack of transparency regarding application statuses, complex approval processes, decentralized document storage and compliance with funding requirements and reporting obligations are among the most common challenges in third-party funding management. A digital funding file in SAP helps to control these processes centrally and in a traceable manner.

Digital workflows allow funding applications to be recorded, checked and approved in a structured manner. All approvals are documented and the current processing status can be tracked at any time. This reduces coordination efforts and shortens processing times.

Funding requirements, interim reports and where-used lists are often linked to fixed deadlines. Digital administration in SAP supports the monitoring of these deadlines and ensures that evidence and reporting obligations can be processed on time.

A digital funding file bundles all application and project-related information in one central location. This creates transparency about ongoing funding projects, facilitates collaboration between all parties involved and improves the traceability of decisions, approvals and conditions.
