SAP consulting for chemicals, FMCG, food, pharma and cosmetics companies
High-volume production, distribution through dealers and retail chains, and operations abroad all meet in one SAP system. For this sector Conforcus delivers multi-country S/4HANA rollouts, IFRS-compliant localization and finance-logistics integration.
Chemicals, FMCG, food, pharma and cosmetics companies share one thing: volume. Many products, frequent promotions, heavy shipping and invoicing. Prices and discounts change constantly, and dealer collections, credit limits and payment terms are daily work for finance. Growth usually comes through plants and sales companies abroad. Each country brings its own tax, e-invoicing and statutory reporting rules, while the group expects the same IFRS reporting from all.
Conforcus uses its global rollout and localization expertise most in this sector. We take the FI, CO, MM and SD design built at headquarters to new countries and meet local regulation through IFRS-compliant localization. Treasury (TRM) and budget management (FM) join the same finance model. In Türkiye we add ready-made solutions such as e-invoice, e-ledger, DBS bank integration, pricing approval and inflation accounting; AMS follows go-live.
Where these industries struggle
- Each new country adds local tax, e-invoicing and reporting rules on top of group standards.
- Local books and IFRS reporting run separately; discounting, rediscount and reclassification entries are prepared by hand.
- Prices, discounts and promotion conditions change often; unapproved conditions cause wrong invoices and dealer disputes.
- At high volumes, dealer collections, credit limits and due-date tracking bury finance in manual work.
What Conforcus delivers for these industries
- Multi-country S/4HANA rollout: the FI, CO, MM and SD design carried to new countries with IFRS-compliant localization.
- End-to-end IFRS processes: discounting of sales and purchases, rediscount, reclassification and NRV calculations inside SAP.
- Ready-made sales, collections and purchasing solutions: pricing approval, DBS bank integration, customer credit management, invoice approval workflow.
- S/4HANA transformation across the finance modules, including treasury (TRM) and budget management (FM), followed by AMS.

Frequently asked questions
We are opening a plant or sales company in a new country. How do you take SAP there?
We start from the central FI, CO, MM and SD design and add each country's tax and statutory requirements through IFRS-compliant localization. Hayat Kimya's five-country rollout had this scope.
Can we run local books and IFRS reporting in the same SAP system?
Yes. Our end-to-end IFRS solution handles discounting, rediscount, reclassification and NRV entries inside SAP. In rollout projects we also build the localization to be IFRS-compliant.
How do you handle inflation accounting in SAP?
Our inflation accounting solution runs in SAP FI and is live in 25+ companies. In these industries it was implemented at Elanco Türkiye, Şölen and Green Chemicals.
