SAP Frontend Options for Strategic and Business Planning
Choosing the right SAP frontend can make a huge difference in efficiency for your strategic planning process. Allevo Junan, our Excel-based SAP interface, and Allevo Koodai, our web frontend, offer complementary strengths. Depending on your requirements, you can leverage Excel for flexible modeling or a web interface for standardized processes.
Allevo Junan integrates Excel directly into the SAP GUI. Users start via a dedicated transaction, which loads a template as a data entry interface. This allows teams to work in Excel while SAP handles all the data in the background.
🏅 Key benefits
Users can work in their familiar Excel environment – including formulas, layouts, and individual calculations. This keeps the scope for flexible analyses broad while keeping training efforts low, as the working method is already familiar to most.
This SAP Excel add-in is ideal for complex models, especially in business and strategic planning processes, where flexibility and adaptability are crucial.
Allevo Koodai is a web-based SAP frontend that runs in any browser and connects directly to SAP. Users can log in via credentials or Single Sign-On to enter transactional or master data and perform planning tasks online.
💥 More power in the SAP frontend
The web frontend offers advantages when many users are involved simultaneously. Since it is not an embedded Excel solution, layout, navigation, and operation can be designed in a targeted way. This makes the SAP front end ergonomic and scalable for a large user base.
You don’t need to choose one over the other. Depending on the business planning process, both frontends can be used in parallel or sequentially:
For example, in strategic planning, you can first model calculations in Allevo Junan and later transfer them to Allevo Koodai for web-based execution. Many companies also maintain both frontends side by side, depending on which process takes priority.
With Allevo Junan and Allevo Koodai, you have two SAP interfaces that complement each other perfectly. Companies can flexibly choose the best frontend for each strategic or business planning process and benefit from using both in tandem.

No. Both are SAP add-ons that build on the existing SAP ERP structure. They simplify usage by providing different frontends, and no separate installation of external software is required.
Yes. A common approach is to start processes in Allevo Junan to optimize them in practice, and then transfer them to Allevo Koodai for web-based execution.
Using both frontends allows processes to be designed flexibly: Excel for complex calculations and the web interface for broad transparency and ease of use. This enables companies to leverage the strengths of both SAP frontends effectively.
