54Agenda
- Whats on the mind of the CFO?
- How can Financials Release 12 help?
- Why Upgrade?
55Why UpgradeStraight Talk from Customers
We have 60 sets of books and see tremendous
efficiencies with running processes across these
sets of books using Ledger Sets.
Ability to issue one payment instruction to the
bank for payments of invoices in multiple
operating units was viewed as a huge benefit from
the user community.
Multi-Org Access Control (MOAC) will definitely
reduce the workload and the number of people
performing process related tasks. The users are
very excited and the benefits of MOAC were
readily visible to them.
The ability to access multiple operating units
with a single responsibility can simplify SOX
compliance monitoring.
The functionality offered with Advanced Global
Intercompany System (AGIS), specifically the
creation of physical invoices to be created for
I/C transactions in Payables and Receivables
eliminates many customizations in this area.
Centralization of subledger accounting rules
would minimize set up and maintenance, providing
greater financial control, and enforcing a
consistent approach for true global accounting.
Banks, taxes, payments, and accounting
everything that becomes centralized will bring
tremendous efficiencies to our organization.
