SAP + Workday Adaptive Planning — Built Right
sapworks goes beyond the wire — we design and build your Workday Adaptive Planning models, then connect them bi-directionally to SAP for budgeting, forecasting, actuals, and management reporting that actually reflects your business.
Overview
Integration Is Just the Start. We Build the Model Too.
Most firms treat Workday Adaptive Planning as an integration project. sapworks treats it as an FP&A transformation. We design and build your Adaptive models from the ground up — dimensional structures, driver-based planning, rolling forecasts — and then connect them to SAP so that actuals flow in automatically and plan data is always aligned with your GL. If you're implementing Adaptive or moving off a legacy planning tool, sapworks is one of the few consulting firms that can handle both the SAP integration and the Adaptive model build.
Beyond integration — sapworks handles Workday Adaptive Planning model design, build, and configuration, plus bi-directional data flows with SAP financials.
What We Deliver
Integration Capabilities
Adaptive Model Design & Build
Design and configure Workday Adaptive Planning models from scratch — including dimensional structures, planning sheets, assumptions, and reporting hierarchies tailored to your business.
SAP Actuals Integration
Pull GL actuals, cost center data, and profit center reporting from SAP into Adaptive — mapped to your model's structure for accurate budget-vs-actual analysis.
Bi-Directional Data Flows
Not just actuals in — approved budgets and forecasts can flow back into SAP for commitment tracking, cost center budgets, and internal reporting alignment.
Budgeting & Forecasting Configuration
Configure Adaptive for your specific planning cycle — annual operating plans, rolling forecasts, scenario modeling, and department-level budget submissions.
Management Reporting
Build Adaptive reports and dashboards that pull from both your plan data and SAP actuals — giving finance leaders a unified view of performance vs. plan.
SAP Hierarchy Mapping
Align Adaptive's planning dimensions with SAP's organizational hierarchy — company codes, business areas, profit centers, and cost center groups.
Our Approach
FP&A Expertise + SAP Depth = Better Outcomes
Workday Adaptive Planning projects fail most often because the integrator doesn't understand the FP&A process, or doesn't understand SAP deeply enough to extract data correctly. sapworks has genuine expertise in both — which means your model is designed to work the way your finance team actually works, connected to SAP data that's accurate and timely.
Start a conversationFP&A discovery: understanding your planning cycle, organizational structure, and reporting requirements
SAP data assessment: identifying the right data sources (GL, CO, FI-SL) and extraction strategy
Adaptive model architecture design with your finance team before any build begins
Iterative build with regular finance team reviews — not a black-box delivery
Integration testing with real SAP data across multiple periods to validate mapping accuracy
Training and knowledge transfer so your finance team can maintain models independently
