Revenue Leakage Analysis With SAP Exports
SAP prices every billing document with precision, but only from what it was given. A manual override, a late price change or a customer split across two numbers turns into revenue leakage that no SAP report flags. korppi works from a read-only export of your SAP ECC or S/4HANA data and shows the gap per invoice line, with the money attached.

Why SAP Billing Leaks Revenue
SAP is trusted because its pricing is rigorous. Yet the inputs are set by people: sales teams change prices on orders, new prices go live late, customers are created twice, and payment terms drift from what the contract says. SAP faithfully bills all of it. The result is missed revenue that looks perfectly normal in every standard report.
The CFO question is simple: are we billing what we agreed, to the right customer, on the right terms? SAP tells you what was billed. It does not tell you what should have been billed, or who owns the difference.
What Revenue Leakage Costs You
The money slips away in familiar places: prices below the agreed contract or list, discounts beyond what was approved, returns credited for more than the original sale, the same customer held under several numbers with different terms, and payment terms that were never enforced. Each case is small on one billing line. Across a year it adds up to margin and cash the business earned but never collected.
The bigger picture is explained in revenue leakage.
Typical SAP Data Issues That Hide Leakage
SAP data is detailed, and that detail is where leaks hide. Prices are built in layers, changes made by hand leave little trace, and migrations from ECC to S/4HANA often leave customers duplicated with different terms. Reading it correctly takes experience with both SAP and revenue analysis, otherwise the figures either miss the leak or overstate it.

What korppi Delivers
- Line-level evidence. Every leak is valued in money and linked to the billing lines behind it, so finance and sales can agree on the facts and an owner can act.
- A Data Health Report. A one-off view of your SAP billing data: how healthy it is, what each problem record costs and where the largest leaks sit.
- korppi Revenue Intelligence. An annual subscription that measures every new export against the last, so leaks are caught while they are still small.
Every figure is calculated from your own lines and can be traced back to its invoice lines. The AI explains the results in plain language. It never invents numbers.
