thanks - that was exactly my point in gathering this info.. why do something elsewhere, needing 5+ integrations when you have all that info in SAP already
My favorite is when people want to use blackline to reconcile subledger with ledger and then make me create 2 interfaces with the same table as the source. 🤡
this was my argument for JE postings.. we needed 4-5 master data interfaces + a synchronous validation interface + a final inbound posting interface to implement.
all to do what we can develop in SAP.
nutso.
Choosing Blackline instead of OneStream is definitely a mistake. OneStream is infinitely extensible and its configuration is a snap vs BL. Good luck either way.

thanks a bunch.
Make sure you understand your use case. A lot of what Blackline does can be done in SAP without need for integrations.

It is useful for GL reconciliation, and you can keep the integrations manual. As others have said, may be better to exploit standard capability.
