The Data Monitor is the centralised control hub in SAP Group Reporting — overseeing data collection, validation, currency translation and task execution across organisational units.
The Data Monitor is a pivotal component for managing financial consolidation — a centralised platform where users monitor, track and execute tasks related to data collection, validation, currency translation and overall consolidation.
Key features
Monitor layout — organisational units display vertically while overall status and tasks appear horizontally, so each unit shows its status at a glance. Organisational units — presented down to consolidation level, with cursor positioning granting access to master records detailing data-transfer methods and currency-translation settings. Customisable layout — filter by task status, adjust column widths and hide unit names, saving personalised settings. Running tasks — initiate from Initial Stage and execute via update runs, test runs or context menus; successful tasks become blocked to ensure integrity. Period management — selectively open and close fiscal-year periods, synchronised with the Consolidation Monitor.
Tasks covered
Data collection, data validation, currency translation, consolidation, manual posting, intercompany reconciliation, task blocking/unblocking, period opening/closing, master-data access and error handling.
