Transparent financial processes in SAP that stand up to scrutiny
Audit-proof data | Efficient consolidation | Maximum control
When the Sihl Group wanted to consolidate its financial processes in SAP, the requirements were clear: seamless integration, uncompromising compliance, and all without compromising system performance. With the integration of eEvolution ProFI into SAP Financial Accounting (FI), objective partner AG provided a solution that combines financial transparency and legal compliance - for full control and security in all financial processes.
Tailor-made solution for demanding requirements
It was clear from the outset that this integration would not be a standard project. The goal: to integrate all financial data from the former Sihl Direct GmbH GoBD-compliant and secure in SAP - and in such a way that the system does not come to a standstill. A stable interface was created that reliably and easily transfers all data to SAP.

"Smooth financial integration creates confidence in the figures. It must be powerful, deliver high data quality and remain flexible enough for future requirements."Markus Rodler, SAP Business Development Specialist
The path to secure and stable financial integration
The project followed a clear plan to meet the requirements of the auditors and the Sihl Group's performance targets:
- Data preparation and mapping
All financial data from eEvolution was structured and prepared for transfer to SAP. - Consolidated company codes
A special company code for Sihl Direct and another for the overall consolidation ensured that nothing was lost. - Technical interface development
IDOCⓘIDoc is an abbreviation for Intermediate Document: Interchange Document. The purpose of an IDoc is to transfer data or information from SAP to other systems and vice versa. The transfer from SAP to non-SAP systems takes place via an EDI subsystem (EDI = Electronic Data Interchange).
- and SOAPⓘSOAP(Simple Object Access Protocol) is a protocol standard for the exchange of data between different systems connected via networks.
-based configuration for error-free, fast data transfer. - Testing and fine-tuning
Thorough testing ensured that all data was transferred smoothly and in compliance with the law.
A gain for transparency and security
With the integration of eEvolution ProFI into SAP-FI, the Sihl Group now has a financial structure that meets the requirements of the auditors and creates maximum transparency. The data is GoBD-compliant without the system losing performance - a solution that is equipped for the future.
