BEST Achieves SAP-certified for clean core with RISE with SAP

We’re proud to announce that BEST has achieved SAP-certified for clean core with RISE with SAP.

The certification recognises that BEST is certified for deployment on SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, release 2025, via the SAP integration scenario S/4HC-ABAP-COND (Certificate #26327). It helps organisations confidently extend their SAP environment with SAP-native finance automation while supporting a clean core approach for RISE with SAP.

For finance teams, this milestone provides added confidence that BEST continues to align with SAP’s latest cloud strategy while enabling reconciliation, matching and clearing processes to be automated directly within SAP.

Why This Certification Matters

As organisations move to SAP S/4HANA Cloud and RISE with SAP, maintaining a clean core has become a key priority. SAP’s clean core approach encourages businesses to reduce unnecessary customisations and use certified extensions that support long-term compatibility, easier upgrades and lower technical complexity.

This certification confirms that BEST supports that direction. It gives finance and IT teams confidence that automation can be introduced into the SAP environment while remaining aligned with SAP’s clean core principles.

That matters because many finance teams still rely on spreadsheets, external tools and manual workarounds for reconciliation activity. These processes can create duplicated data, fragmented audit trails and unnecessary effort at month end.

BEST helps remove that complexity by keeping reconciliation, matching, approvals and reporting inside SAP, where the financial data already resides.

SAP-Native Finance Automation

The BEST Vendor Recons module automates supplier statement reconciliations with intelligent matching, workflow approvals and exception management directly within SAP.

The BEST Balance Sheet Recons module standardises balance sheet reconciliations with configurable approval workflows, embedded audit trails and real-time visibility across the organisation.

The BEST Open Item Clearing module accelerates the matching and clearing of transactions across company codes and account types, reducing manual intervention while improving financial accuracy.

The BEST Customer Clearing module streamlines cash application by intelligently matching remittance advice to open customer items.

Because these processes are embedded in SAP, finance users continue working with existing SAP data, authorisations, security controls and workflows. There is no need to duplicate financial information or move data into a separate system.

The result is a faster, more controlled reconciliation process with stronger visibility and governance.

The Business Impact for Finance Teams

For finance leaders, the certification is more than a technical milestone. It supports a more sustainable way to modernise reconciliation processes while keeping SAP at the centre of financial operations.

Finance teams benefit from reduced manual effort, faster month-end activity, improved audit readiness and greater confidence in the accuracy of financial information. IT teams benefit from a SAP-native solution that supports clean core principles and aligns with SAP’s future roadmap.

By automating repetitive reconciliation and clearing tasks, BEST gives finance professionals more time to focus on exceptions, analysis and higher-value work.

Moving Forward with Confidence

SAP-certified for clean core with RISE with SAP represents another important milestone in BEST’s commitment to SAP-native finance automation.

As more organisations adopt SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition and RISE with SAP, BEST continues to provide reconciliation, matching and clearing solutions that help finance teams improve efficiency, strengthen control and support a clean core approach without leaving SAP.
