| 00:00 - 00:03 | We are 4 weeks away from our SAP go-live for Sao Paulo. |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | This is a site with production. |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | We fully implement SAP FI/CO MM/SD. |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | Our Indian provider will implement the Brazilian requirements. |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | However, we just realized that we did not have the Nota fiscal and SPED reporting in the scope. |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | We will just start with the UAT. |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | We will just start with the UAT. |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | UAT? |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | That will.... |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | make no sense at all |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | We cannot go live without the Brazilian requirements. |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Remaining in the room: FI/CO Consultant; MM/SD, the Process Owners and the Project lead. |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | No Go-Live!? |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | Are you fucking kidding me? |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | Are you telling me you thought you could roll out SAP in Brazil without hiring a specialist? |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | J1BTax, PIS, COFINS |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | even Bloco K! |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | How can you be so naive not to hire specialists here? |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | Localization for Brazil is the most complex undertaking in SAP. |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | Without experienced specialists who also speak Portuguese, you can forget it. |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | But our global partner said he can do Brazil! |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | Global partner for Brazil? Nonsense! |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | How could we have known? |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | By talking to someone who is actually there! |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | Standard Rollout Approach? |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | Just because you have implemented SAP in Germany and Asia, |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | you think you can do it in Brazil without any problems? |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | And do not even know the Tax Manager's Workplace for Brazil? |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | SPED-ECD. SPED-EFD Reinf, COFINS.... |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | even DIRF. Do you have any idea, how complicated tax reporting actually is in Brazil? |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | "In their own namespace and with a few Z transactions."?!? |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | How stupid can you be! |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | And we are not even on S/4 yet! |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | We were so successful: Europe, Asia... |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | ...everywhere it works. |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | But now Brazil |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | will destroy the whole roadmap. |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | But now I will stop this nonsense. |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | I'm going to kick out the Big 4, |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | our Indian consulting firm, and the legions of junior consultants. |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | Now we'll get a real professional |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | Calm down, SEFAZ doesn't know anything yet. |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | No more Z transactions |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | We will start from scratch |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | Template first this time |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | Fit-Gap at the beginning! |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | But if you think we would try this again without a specialized consultant - you are very wrong. |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | Then the Brazilians rather stay on Totvs. |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | Tell the Steering Committee... |
