 "Autonomous Finance: Road map".

This slide appears to be from an SAP corporate presentation outlining their strategic vision and product release timeline for AI-driven finance solutions.

1. High-Level Context (Top Section)

· Main Title: "Autonomous Finance: Road map"

· Active Tab (Purple): "Autonomous Finance" with an icon representing AI/automation.

· Inactive Tabs (Greyed out): To the right, you can faintly see other SAP product pillars, indicating this is part of a larger "Autonomous Enterprise" strategy. The faint text reads:

  · Autonomous Supply Chain Management

  · Autonomous Spend Management

  · Autonomous HCM (Human Capital Management)

  · Autonomous CX (Customer Experience)

· Top Right Corner: A purple banner reads "SAP Autonomous Su..." and "Public road...". This indicates it is a "Public Roadmap," meaning SAP is publicly sharing its planned product releases.

2. The Six Financial Workstreams (Middle Section)

The slide categorizes finance into six core functional areas, represented by a series of connected arrows (chevrons):

1. Financial planning

2. Revenue management

3. Treasury and working capital

4. Accounting and financial close

5. GRC and cybersecurity* (Governance, Risk, and Compliance)

6. Tax and trade

3. The Roadmap & AI "Assistants" (Bottom Section)

Below each workstream are specific product features labeled as "Assistants." In modern enterprise software (like SAP), these "Assistants" are typically AI-driven agents or copilots designed to automate tasks and workflows.

The roadmap shows a massive rollout targeting Q4 2026 for almost all of these features. Here is the breakdown by category:

· Financial planning:

  · Financial Planning Assistant (Targeted for Q4 2026)

· Revenue management:

  · Sales Operations Assistant (Targeted for Q4 2026)

  · Billing Assistant (Targeted for Q4 2026)

· Treasury and working capital:

  · Accounts Receivable Assistant (Targeted for Q4 2026)

  · Recurring Receivables Assistant (Targeted for Q4 2026)

  · Accounts Payable Assistant (Targeted for Q4 2026)

  · Expense Management Assistant (This one is marked as "General availability," meaning it is likely already released or releasing much sooner than the others).

  · Cash and Treasury Assistant (Targeted for Q4 2026)

· Accounting and financial close:

  · Financial Closing Assistant (Targeted for Q4 2026)

· GRC and cybersecurity:*

  · Governance Assistant (Targeted for Q4 2026)

· Tax and trade:

  · Tax and Compliance Assistant (Targeted for Q4 2026)
