Consolidating R2R at Enterprise Scale

Many SAP-centric enterprises find that Record-to-Report automation has evolved organically — local schedulers, legacy tools, spreadsheets and standalone bots layered across regions and shared services. The close completes, but the underlying architecture lacks transparency, governance and scalability.

In this joint session, KPMG and Redwood examine how global organisations are consolidating fragmented automation into a governed, SAP-native orchestration layer. Drawing on large-scale R2R transformation programmes including BASF and other multinational SAP environments, the discussion focuses on how leaders assessed tool sprawl, quantified risk and run-cost inefficiencies, and built a credible business case for consolidation.

The session will explore the practical realities of execution: mapping the existing landscape, sequencing migration without destabilising the close, configuring a central orchestration layer inside SAP, and enabling internal engineering teams to own the new model. It will also address governance design, using enterprise templates and control gates to enforce consistency while preserving local accountability.

Attendees will gain a grounded view of what accelerates and what delays value realisation in enterprise R2R consolidation, and how to position platform rationalisation as a measurable cost-reduction and control-strengthening initiative rather than a technology refresh.

What you will learn:

• How large SAP enterprises diagnose fragmentation across journals, reconciliations and close orchestration
• Where tool sprawl creates hidden cost, risk and engineering complexity
• What a governed, SAP-native orchestration model looks like in practice
• How advisory and platform teams collaborate from scoping through enablement
• How to structure and defend an ROI-driven consolidation case at enterprise level
