With IDL products, ElringKlinger has developed a comprehensive system solution for consolidation, planning and management reporting. The modern information platform supports comprehensive finance processes in the global set-up of the internationally active group. ElringKlinger works with consistent figures and IFRS-compliant report structures to take care of everything from annual financial statements to monthly intercompany consolidation and decentralized financial planning.
The starting point for operations is an SAP-based heterogeneous system environment. The companies deliver their IFRS-compliant financial statements, including statistical data, to the headquarters monthly via the web access in IDL Konsis. ElringKlinger does not only create annual financial statements with the consolidation solution, but produces IFRS-compliant quarterly and monthly financial statements for around 40 companies too. The system-supported intercompany consolidation on a balance basis, available every month on the 4th working day with just one click, is key for the company. At ElringKlinger, IDL Forecast is the structural platform for mid-term planning at the level of the individual companies.
The standardization and automation in the IDL environment have significantly increased the quality and efficiency of the reporting and organizational changes can be made at any time for the agile company in the flexible report platform.
