Featured Sessions

- Ashish Sampat

How can you optimize SAP Controlling in S/4HANA to make the most of the available functionality. Practitioners will look at how SAP has evolved over the last five decades, particularly in SAP Controlling. Also look at examples of how customers have optimized the use of SAP software for Controlling.

- Marjorie Wright

From master data to material cost estimates to procurement alternatives to material ledger actual cost - the transition to S/4HANA brings about significant opportunities.

- Marvin Fuhrer

SAP plans to modernize the Product Cost Planning Fiori applications in SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, and attendees are invited to test one of the first new applications and provide feedback directly to SAP.

- Orpheus Birch

Simplifying Compliance, Reducing TCO, and Rethinking the Unified-Platform Myth

As finance transformation accelerates, CFOs and finance leaders face mounting pressure to shorten close cycles, strengthen regulatory compliance, and simplify enterprise architecture — all while controlling cost.

- Chintan Joshi

Month-end close is still one of the most manual, email-driven, and error-prone cycles in Controlling — but it doesn't have to be. SAP BTP's intelligent automation capabilities are enabling finance teams to fundamentally rethink how the close gets done.

- Vic Sison

Learn how organizations can leverage SAP Margin Analysis in SAP S/4HANA to gain deeper insight into customer and product profitability. This session will showcase real-world examples of sales reporting that trace profitability all the way to net income using the standard SAP Product Profitability application.

- Marjorie Wright

Join one of our most popular and interactive 3-hour workshops, where you set the agenda. This session is completely shaped by participant input—choose the topics you want to explore and bring your real-world questions to the table.

Rogerio Faleiros

A thought-provoking look at how AI is transforming the way we work, solve problems, and make decisions. More details coming live at the conference.

- Janet Salmon

Explore how Event-Based Production Accounting in SAP S/4HANA is transforming traditional period-end processes into real-time, event-driven financial insights, while outlining key concepts, configuration steps, and the roadmap ahead.

- Steffen Koeck & Jerson Hurtado

As a member of the CFO’s office of a large, multinational operation corporation with multiple ERP systems in different countries, you have experienced the periodic challenge of identifying the intercompany profit in inventory, the group cost of the materials moving through the supply chain, the impact of the transfer prices, and the audit process.

- Anand Seetharaju

The Path from Costing-based CO‑PA to Margin Analysis in S/4HANA

Margin Analysis and Costing‑based CO‑PA can coexist during transition to SAP S/4HANA for customers who still rely on legacy value‑field structures or industry‑specific allocations.

Jacqueline Ogburn

Harness the power of S/4 Hana and the Universal Journal in Fiori to deliver real-time, flexible reporting. With more than 17,000 apps in SAP’s Fiori App Library, users have an enormous toolkit for transacting and reporting in S/4HANA. The challenge isn’t finding tools – it’s understanding the right tool and knowing which ones move the needle.

- Marvin Fuhrer

The classic cost component split has reached its limits for capturing detailed cost information across multi-stage value chains.

- Paul Ovigele

For organizations that buy and sell goods between affiliated entities, gaining a clear view of true enterprise margin remains a persistent challenge. Inventory values often include intercompany profit, making it difficult to distinguish actual performance from internal markups.

- Marjorie Wright & Rogerio Faleiros

In S/4HANA, the Cost Component Split (CCS) is the bridge between the high-level General Ledger and the granular operational reality of product costing. Cost components are the 'labels' on your financial jars. Without them, you just have a jar full of money (Total Cost).

- Surajit Mohanty

This session covers the configuration and integration of SAP S/4HANA Service cost accounting to support end-to-end service scenarios (service contracts, service orders, in-house repair, and billing) with correct CO account assignment and item-level margin reporting.

- Orpheus Birch

Artificial Intelligence is changing how Finance professionals interact with enterprise systems, but what does that mean for SAP Controlling today? While the potential of AI is significant, understanding the capabilities available now—and separating them from what is still emerging—is essential.

- Paul Ovigele

Organizational restructuring in SAP, whether driven by mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, or internal realignment, has traditionally been complex, manual, and high-risk. The SAP solution “Organizational Changes in Accounting”, is a powerful capability that enables organizations to execute structural changes across profit centers, segments, and related financial objects in a controlled, automated manner.

- Marvin Fuhrer

Few decisions shape an S/4HANA implementation more than the ledger and currency design - and few are harder to revisit later.

- Jerson Hurtado & Carlos Parisca

Discover how to create a powerful costing dashboard built directly within S/4HANA as a faster, more cost-effective alternative to SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) or Power BI.

- Ashish Sampat

Make the most of your SAP cost center accounting (CCA) design. Attendees will be given an in-depth look of SAP CCA. Role of cost centers in SAP Controlling. Cost center planning options and cost allocation methods and their use cases. Data flow for cost centers, reporting and analysis.

- Janet Salmon

Learn how Universal Parallel Accounting changes group and profit center valuation in SAP S/4HANA and why SAP replaced the traditional currency and valuation profile approach, the key logistics and intercompany dependencies, and what the latest roadmap means for private cloud and on-premise customers.

- Raghu Ram Thatavarthy

Move beyond manual monitoring — let SAP automation and AI detect, alert, and resolve before issues escalate.

- Marjorie Wright & Rogerio Faleiros

Transitioning to S/4HANA often feels like moving into a high-tech cockpit, but if the underlying data—like your CKM3 (Material Price Analysis)—isn't understood, all those real-time analytics are just noise.

- Richard Russmann

SAP Product Costing offers powerful capabilities, but its complexity can make it difficult to understand where costs, variances, and margins are truly originating. Can you run a trial balance and clearly explain the drivers behind your product margins?

- hosted by ERPfixers

Wrap up SAP Controlling 2026 with an interactive expert panel discussion and open Q&A hosted by ERPfixers. This session brings together conference speakers, SAP practitioners, and industry experts to revisit key topics and questions raised throughout the conference, including insights from the Participant-Led Deep Dive Workshop.
