On July 29, 2022, 1C announced the release of revision 3.2 of the Holding Management configuration.

According to the company, "1C: Holding Management 8" is a comprehensive class solution CPM (Corporate Performance Management - holding efficiency management) designed for comprehensive automation of management finance of holdings and large mono-companies.

Revision 3.2 expands the capabilities of "1C: Holding Management 8" to automate all specialized functions. The main priority in its development was the development of demanded and promising functions for optimizing the processes of financial planning and modeling, working capital and risk management, cost control in the context of rapid changes in the business environment and uncertainty of forecasts, as well as reducing the labor intensity of routine operations, including using artificial intelligence. Particular attention was paid to reducing implementation costs due to the careful study of typical uses of functionality and various tools that reduce labor costs for design adaptation and commissioning of the system. The delivery includes a dashboard with performance indicators of the treasury function at 1C: Analytics.

Description of the possibilities of revision 3.2:

Corporate Budgeting

The updated PivotTable provides budget process participants with up-to-date opportunities to enter, import, distribute from top to bottom, consolidate, update, analyze plan and actual data in multi-price conditions, changing horizons and planning standards against dynamic exchange rates. The following factor analysis and modeling tools are implemented in the Summary Table:

  • factor analysis of the effect on the target indicator of synthetic and analytical values ​ ​ of influencing indicators with calculation of their coefficient of influence using the chain substitution method;
  • visualization of factor analysis in the form of a tree of influencing indicators and a diagram "Waterfall";
  • visual modeling - interactive calculation of the target indicator when influencing changes;
  • reverse calculation (selection) of initial parameters according to the set value of the target by the gradient descent method;
  • The ability to save and load analysis and simulation variants.

The Report Type Designer optimizes the development of the structure, forms, and business logic of budgets and corporate reporting. Among the main updated ones that optimize configuration and reduce the number of errors in budget models:

  • Updated settings to calculate actual budget data in the form of item mapping and account totals
  • Updated interface for entering key figure formulas
  • Updated setting of actual data distribution to budgeting dimensions
  • Reuse scorecard settings with Saved Selections and Data Source Templates.

By eliminating the use of the COM connector when importing data files MS Excel through forms, it is no longer necessary to install it on server or on a workstation. Several times the performance of calculating indicators and modeling has been increased.

Management of budget limits, commercial and credit risks

The tools for setting, adjusting and controlling limits on cash flow budgets, income and expenses have received qualitative development, which makes it possible to optimize control over expenditure operations at an acceptable level of costs for control functions. Setting up various limit management components is more visual and concise. You can now change the limit parameters of items after the end of the period. In this version, control can be carried out by groups of articles.

The updated Operational Plan document offers alternative Budgeting subsystems simple options for planning and setting limits in a convenient cross-table. The Budget Reservation specialized document provides the functions of reservation, adjustment, reallocation of limit quotas in planning and limiting dimensions.

The updated Plan and Limit Adjustment and Plan and Limit Adjustment Request documents allow you to separate authorizations during the limit adjustment and reallocation process, which optimizes the informed decision to change them.

The "End-to-End Planning and Demand Limitation" functional option enables "early" approval and monitoring of BDDS limits even during a bid campaign without having to renegotiate requests for payment already during demand assurance.

In addition to detailed monitoring and reservation of limits, a simplified mode has been implemented in contracts on the basis of the day-by-day calculation schedule, which involves filling out an enlarged schedule in the frequency of BDDS planning. Updated operational planning and limiting reporting package was implemented.

Corporate Procurement

Updated calculator capabilities

The processes of planning and consolidation of the need for material resources and services have been optimized, the interfaces of preparation and conduct of procurement procedures, contracting, formation and fulfillment of orders to suppliers have been redesigned. Particular attention is paid to the automatic updating of document chains when changing the initial needs, taking into account typical scenarios of both 223-FZ entities and companies that are not subject to it. Current integration schemes with the UIS (zakupki.gov.ru) for the organizers of procurement procedures have been implemented. The purchasing process for loan agreements is automated. Filling of procurement documentation (notices, protocols, draft contracts, etc.) from templates is implemented.

Entry of the Central Federal District requirements in the materials and services was made from the "Operational Plan" document to the specialized document "Purchase Requisition." In addition to entering requirements, "early" reservation and monitoring of BDDS limits are carried out in it. The updated Purchasing Planning Assistant, in addition to manual, batch, and automatic generation of purchasing plan lines (planned procurement procedures), reduces costs with new batch functions for replacing the original demand item with analogues and unification.

In procurement processes, the option of enlarging product categories to a functional direction is implemented. In order to reduce costs and optimize the efficiency of communications between internal customers (consumers) and buyers, the following functions are implemented:

  • expertise of the demand is carried out by experts of the relevant Central Federal District, responsible for the nomenclature of the functional area, in order to clarify the nomenclature of the order and add related items;
  • Confirm the quantity and demand assurance date before creating the order.

The demand chain ends with a specialized document "Demand Assurance."

In addition to the integrated bid evaluation, supplier benchmarking in contract execution is automated during procurement procedures, which allows you to organize interaction processes with existing suppliers based on objective criteria. The subsystem reporting package has been significantly redesigned.

Corporate Treasury

The calculation calculator of loan and loan contracts has been optimized: support for a floating rate with a delayed change has been implemented, a partial recalculation of the schedule from the current date, the reflection of the principal debt, including early repayment of loans and loans, has been simplified. Automated download of the key rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation from the site of cbr.ru and MosPrime rates with mosprime.com.

Loading the key rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation

The updated revision helps to optimize the efficiency of the use of group funds by changing the instruments of intra-group borrowing and liability management. The following functions are implemented in financing agreements:

  • consolidation of the financing needs of the group organizations;
  • Determination of ways to cover them (concluded master contracts or loans);
  • procurement procedures, selection of a bank - a provider of credit services;
  • contracting, obtaining credit funds from the bank;
  • transfer of funds to consumer organizations through intra-group loans;
  • credit servicing.

Automated accounting of assigning transactions (including intragroup transactions) on the side of assignors, assigns and debtors. The Variance Management processing now supports all settlement types, adds a separation by currency and transaction direction, and the Consumption Requisition and Planned Income documents can now be generated from the accrual schedules.

Verification of supporting documents has been added to the payment requisitions, the architecture of intra-group requisitions has been redesigned, and the possibility of creating user-defined transaction types has been added.

The updated functions of the payment calendar are focused on optimizing forecast accuracy, data visualization and solution efficiency in managing short-term and medium-term liquidity:

  • it is possible to use as incoming balances not only (as before) these registers, but also operational balances of the bank's client;
  • Customer order support has been added to optimize the accuracy of receipt planning
  • Cash flow forecast based on extrapolation of actual data by least squares is implemented;
  • the accuracy of the forecast of receipts is optimized due to the use of trust and delay factors of the source of the planned receipt;
  • The " Requests in the payment calendar" form has been revised: quick selections have been added by state, priority, amount, as well as the ability to display only overdue payments and massively transfer them to the desired date;
  • Functions for planning cash transactions have been implemented
  • automated output of statistical information on the account in the prompt to it or in individual columns;
  • conditional design is implemented for cells with planned turnover;
  • added the ability to detail the turnover in bank accounts under DDS items.

The updated edition reduces the deadlines and costs of processing payments due to the formation of scheduled payment registers, automatic generation of payment orders after approval of the register, the possibility of promptly excluding payment from it, as well as the option of combining similar items into one payment order. After loading the statement, you can use the PPI, payment dimension filling templates, as well as artificial intelligence based on the Decision Tree algorithm to automatically post it to analysts.

The configuration includes a dashboard with performance indicators of the treasury function on "1C: Analytics."

Corporate Tax Function Management

In the interests of convenient and correct accounting of controlled foreign companies, the updated version for accounting for M&A transactions has optimized the ergonomics of modeling the acquisition/disposal of business, reduced the complexity of preparing notifications and reporting on controlled foreign companies.

As of July 2022, the current trend in tax the administration of the largest taxpayers is tax monitoring. This version optimizes the interaction of the tax authority and the taxpayer thanks to the redesigned layout of automated workplaces of the tax inspector and accountant, additional functions of the request system, including notifications of users about newly received requests. A separate journal has been implemented for a package of 23 tax notifications of tax monitoring. The General Risk Management subsystem automates the requirements of Order N FTS YeD-7-23/518 for tax monitoring. The subsystem is adapted for embedding the add-on GNIVC: Tax monitoring"," which provides integration with AIS Tax-3"."

Management Accounting, Accounting and Consolidated Reporting under IFRS

IFRS Accounting 3.2 can be used not only for partial or fully parallel management accounting and accounting under IFRS, but also for accounting in foreign companies on national charts of accounts.

Accounting policies (chart of accounts, functional currency, VAT rates, parameters, and accounting accounts for different objects) are now set up in the Organizational Units x Scenarios matrix. In addition to the previously implemented online broadcast tools, parallel accounting of non-current assets, financial instruments, reserves, period-end closing, parallel accounting of the purchase and sale of goods and services, as well as payments and receipts of funds is automated. The revaluation of foreign currency assets and liabilities in the presentation currency has been finalized.

To optimize the setup and start of the subsystem, an automated workplace is implemented with the functions of checking the correctness of the chart of accounts, reconciling and adjusting posting translation templates, as well as selective translation of individual combinations of accounts or correspondence.

The AWS has been optimized for reconciliation of intra-group operations on reporting indicators: data presentation and conditional design, speed of calculation of discrepancies and notification of reconciliation participants about them, decoding and ergonomics of settings. The elimination of unrealized margin transactions with non-current assets has been automated, including accounting for accumulated depreciation by the seller from the buyer.

Integration, Master Data Management, Communications and Processes

The import of documents and reference books through ADO is optimized, a special wizard optimizes the configuration of importing MS Excel files into system documents, which is especially useful when migrating accounting functions from spreadsheets to the IFRS Accounting subsystem.

In this edition, master data management tools have been significantly developed. Actions to agree changes were transferred from the universal form directly to the form of the reference book element, which significantly optimized ergonomics and made it possible to take into account standard controls when entering or changing reference book elements. When viewing the agreed element, the changed details are highlighted on the form, and after the editing is completed, a request for change of the NSI is created from the element form. Approval of changes in table parts and additional details allows you to agree, for example, on changing the contact information of counterparties. Exchange of reference NSI between master system and NSI consumers is possible both with the help of routine assignment and immediately after recording of the agreed object.

Notifications and approvals were implemented through the platform and Telegram interaction system, the ability to attach external printed forms and attached files to notifications was added. For the approval route, the use of a simple electronic signature and visualization of discrepancies between the details of the current and sent for approval versions of objects is implemented.

2018: Revision 3.0 of the "Holding Management" configuration of the "1C: Enterprise 8" system

Edition 3.0 expands the capabilities of "1C: Holding Management 8" to automate all specialized functions:

  • The Risk Management subsystem, integrated with the Balanced Scorecard subsystem, allows the company to organize a unified risk management system.
  • The Activities subsystem allows you to plan and take into account recurring (patterned) activities efficiently.
  • The Treasury subsystem has expanded its capabilities to manage interest rate, currency, credit risks, and the risk of short-term liquidity loss.
  • Budgeting and operational planning tools provide budget process participants with convenient opportunities to enter, import, and analyze data.
  • New functions for tax management of international groups of companies have been implemented.
  • In the IFRS Accounting subsystem, new standards have been automated, and the functions for preparing final statements have been expanded.
  • The Procurement subsystem has significantly improved demand planning, lotting and automation of procurement procedures both in the interests of 223-FZ entities and companies that are not covered by it.
  • The Process Management subsystem provides tools for analyzing process performance.

Version 3.0 is provided to registered users of the "Holding Management" configuration who have a valid 1S:ITS information technology support contract.

Go to revision 3.0 by updating the configuration of the corresponding version 1.3, while storing the accumulated data in the information database. The supply of the "Holding Management" configuration version 3.0 includes a file that specifies the version 1.3 from which the upgrade can be performed. For example, upgrading to version 3.0. 1 has been running since version 1.3.11.

Edition 3.0 requires the 1C: Enterprise platform version 8.3.10.

2016: 1C: Holding Management 8 revision 1.3

Revision 1.3 takes into account the experience of implementing 1C: Holding Management 8 in more than 100 Russian holdings, including companies such as Zarubezhneft, Russian Post, AvtoVAZ, Novatek, Polyus Zolot, UTair, United Shipbuilding Corporation, NPF Blagosostoyanie, BTK Group, Pony Express, Eastward Capital, Medsi. The development of the application solution "Holding Management" is carried out with the methodological support of leading consulting companies: KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers Consulting (PwC), EY.

Corporate Tax Management

With the methodological support of KPMG, a new subsystem "Corporate Tax Management. The best KPMG experience in deoffshorization projects for large groups of companies, as well as the experience of projects for setting up and setting up an accounting system and tax registers in the 1C system, related to the design of the system and user convenience, were used to create methodology and develop requirements for functionality.

In this version, the subsystem allows:

  • model and form the tax structure of the group of companies;
  • identify controlling persons and controlled foreign companies;
  • create notifications on participation in foreign organizations and on controlled foreign companies in accordance with the requirements of tax legislation.

To register foreign companies and foreign structures, the functions of accounting documents under IFRS "Acquisition of Investments" and "Disposal of Investments" have been expanded. The consolidated data on the company's assets are consolidated into the "Register of Investments" list.

Ownership structure information (inbound balances) is downloaded from the file in the format. Microsoft Excel Relationships (relationships) between group companies for clarity can be visualized in the form of a diagram and a report and further model the future ownership structure, and on the basis of the target structure - form investment movement documents.

Notifications on participation in foreign organizations and on controlled foreign companies are generated automatically with tracking of current status of their readiness.

Budgeting and Financial Planning

The Budgeting subsystem now supports the management of changes in the budget model and organizational and financial structure, allows you to speed up planning in the context of rapidly changing source data, contributes to the improvement of communications and ensures the delineation of areas of responsibility between participants in the budget process.

Authorization management was implemented at the level of key slices of budgeting data using the budget view - a list of budget items that is stable from the point of view of the powers of participants in the budget process. For key budgeting dimensions: the financial responsibility center (CFO), scenario - coordination of planning data is available not only for the budget as a whole, but also for each of its views for the entire planning period. A work center has been implemented to manage the budget views of the reporting period.

Since in normalized budget models the hierarchy of items usually corresponds to the hierarchy of the company's organizational and financial structure, the hierarchy of views allows you to organize convenient bottom-up coordination of budgets from cost and revenue centers to investment centers.

In the interest of focusing participants in the budget process only on the desired area of ​ ​ budgeting data, it is possible to limit the list of articles and dimensions displayed in budgets depending on permissions and other conditions by:

  • generating a summary table form based on the budget view;
  • restrictions on visible budget items depending on key budgeting analysts (Central Federal District or functional area of the Central Federal District, scenario, project);
  • Save custom structure settings and PivotTable selections.

Algorithms for calculating dependent budget indicators are optimized, including for poorly normalized budget models. For the convenience of optimizing models, the performance of calculating individual reporting indicators is measured.

The function of calculating cash flows of the cash flow budget has been added to the rules for calculating indicators, depending on the accruals of the budget of revenues and expenses and payment conditions, the correspondence between which is indicated in a special table.

A new implementation of the "Summary Table" tool with improved ergonomics and increased performance is proposed. A multi-threaded background recalculation of dependent indicators has been implemented, which dramatically reduces the response time of the system and significantly increases the convenience of entering budgets. In addition to the new capabilities of commenting on indicators in the PivotTable and agreeing on them, it is possible to forcibly block the values ​ ​ of indicators, which excludes their change by other participants in the budget process.

For the convenience of planning currency indicators, the conversion of key figure values into additional currencies and work with currency amounts are implemented.

To improve the convenience of planning, the following are also implemented:

  • Upload PivotTable data to Microsoft Excel and load the modified data back into the PivotTable.
  • Copying the values of the random data slice key figures
  • Enter a dependent key figure by entering a deviation adjustment from the base key figure
  • visual decoding of formulas of calculated indicators in the form of a tree.

Improved visibility of the tools for managing the reporting period and monitoring its closing dates.

Investment Project Management

Taking into account the increase in the dynamism of investment activities in revision 1. 3, you can add new investment projects and determine budgetary powers already during the planning cycle, more flexibly operate projects and their stages as analysts of the budget process, and update projects without using the "Reserve Budgets" documents.

Central Treasury

The Central Treasury subsystem in revision 1.3 was developed on the basis of the methodology of PwC, the best consultant in the field of treasury according to the TMI Awards. The methodology combines the best practices in the field of building the treasury function and automation of processes.

The use of revision 1.3 of the Holding Management will improve the efficiency of management of receivables and payables, credit, currency and interest rate risks in the context of high volatility of key macroeconomic indicators.

Together with PwC, best practices in working capital management have been applied and new functions for managing receivables and trade and credit risks have been implemented. New features allow you to:

  • Define a matrix of recommended payment terms for different classes of customers, depending on their significance and payment discipline
  • monitor and update the payment schedule depending on accounting events;
  • Automatically remind you that the due dates for the contract are approaching.
  • automatically generate a claim in case of delay in payment, take into account the forecast of collection of overdue debts in the cash flow budget;
  • register the events of the claim and claim work, form reminders and notifications about them;
  • use factoring and bills of exchange to optimize the value and timing of the collection of receivables;
  • use pledges, insurance, sureties, letters of credit and bank guarantees as security measures;
  • Analyze aging and overdue receivables in various analytical sections.

In addition to the universal generator of financial instrument schedules (reference book "Periodic Transaction Settings"), certain types of financial agreements have been implemented for typical liquidity raising/placement instruments: loans and credit lines, loans issued and received, overdrafts, deposits and minimum irreducible balance, bonds, shares, bills of exchange.

Trading operations on securities (issue, redemption, acquisition, sale) were implemented, including using brokerage accounts.

Based on PwC's best practices in financial risk management, the following functionality is implemented to identify, assess and hedge currency risks:

  • short-term assessment of the impact of currency volatility on the payment calendar and cash position;
  • medium-term interval stress testing of open currency position;
  • The currency contract interval clause, forward currency contract and swap are implemented as standard currency risk hedging instruments.

In order to identify, assess and hedge interest rate risks, the following have been implemented:

  • medium-term interval stress testing of interest rate risks at floating rates;
  • setting limits for placement and attraction in the context of banks and organizations of the group of companies;
  • reports on the structure, rates, value, duration of external financing of the company.

To increase the efficiency of automation of currency control, reminders were implemented about significant events of currency control: the need to close the debt indicated in the certificates of foreign exchange transactions and supporting documents, and the formation of these certificates after the regulatory period from the receipt of the primary document. In addition, a set of reports has been implemented that allows you to analyze the state of currency control in the company.

Liquidity pools have been implemented that simplify intra-group financing and prohibit the use of these settlement accounts for transfer transfers.

It is possible to specify the level of control of limits for each budget item: according to budgets, according to the "Budget Reservation" documents, or not at all. In addition, revision 1.3 improved the previously implemented support for the law of June 29, 2015 N 159-FZ.


Centralized Procurement Management

The functions of the Central Procurement Management subsystem are aimed at reducing the labor intensity of communications between procurement units and suppliers and at developing support for procurement procedures in accordance with the 223-FZ. To improve the efficiency of interaction with potential suppliers, the following were implemented:

  • Self-registration of potential suppliers in the system
  • accreditation of suppliers;
  • management of the register of accredited suppliers (re-accreditation, deprivation and revocation of accreditation);
  • "Supplier's Personal Account" containing information on current trading, supplier's orders, mutual settlements;
  • accreditation and qualification status reports.

The possibility of conducting procurement procedures only with the participation of accredited suppliers, as well as the formation of a lot based on pre-configured templates significantly reduces the time and labor intensity of procurement.

The management of the procurement procedure in the new version has become more convenient: now the planned dates of the mandatory stages of the procedure and marks on their passage are taken into account, and the status of the lot reflects the progress of the procurement procedure (for example, "Collection of bids of participants" or "Work of the Procurement Committee"). The notifications and reminders implemented in revision 1.3 to the participants of the procurement commissions during the procurement procedures reduce the burden on employees of the procurement departments.

The details of the lots are brought in line with the established practice of conducting procurement procedures for 223-FZ and their publication in the UIS (zakupki.gov.ru). The information on annual procurement plans, lots, protocols for canceling and choosing the winner of procurement procedures, concluded contracts and documents on their execution was uploaded to the UIS.

Registration of claims related to tender procedures and execution of contracts concluded with suppliers has been implemented.

The report "Savings based on the results of trading" allows you to assess the effectiveness of the procurement procedures carried out.

Accounting under IFRS

Revision 1.3 introduces new tools for "quick closing" of the reporting period: IFRS

  • "document" translation of RAS transactions to the IFRS chart of accounts;
  • "double closing" of the reporting period, which allows closing the period under IFRS earlier than RAS and reflects the changed RAS data when broadcast in the next period.

In addition to more than 50 parallel accounting operations, parallel accounting of legal claims reserves has been implemented.

Process Management

The new edition implements a more convenient and universal functionality of notifications about events and reminders about the approach of their planned dates. You can configure an HTML email template for each alert or reminder category.

The new function of coordination with a response letter allows you to view documents without entering "1C: Holding Management 8," but using any (including mobile) mail client.

Object state management allows you to automate not only object matching, but also the life cycle of any object.

2014

The complex solution "1C: Holding Management " of the CPM class (holding efficiency management) "1C" was presented in June 2014. It is designed to automate the management companies of holdings and is a further development of the software products "1C: Consolidation 8 PROF" and "1C: Accounting 8 CORP."

Functionality

1C: Holding Management covers the automation of the main areas of management and fiscal accounting:

  • budgeting and central treasury,
  • consolidation of management reporting and business analysis,
  • contract management,
  • project management,
  • strategic management in accordance with the Balanced Scorecard,
  • accounting and tax accounting in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation,
  • accounting, preparation of separate and consolidated statements under IFRS,
  • management of master data (regulatory reference information) of the group of companies.

Stanislav Mitrokhin, Head of Automation of Management Accounting and Corporate Reporting at 1C, explained to TAdviser that 1C: Holding Management inherited the main functionality of 1C: Consolidation (automation of budgeting, treasury, MSFO, BSC, master data management), but contains a number of significant improvements that expand the capabilities of the solution.

Among them are the subsystems "Payment Factory" and "Contract Management," which replaced the subsystem "Centralized Treasury" "1C: Consolidation" and ensure the pipelining of payment flows while maintaining transparent control.

The solution has a subsystem for budgeting projects. In addition to the standard project management functions - defining the decomposition of stages and activities, resources, deadlines, responsible ones - it is possible to manage the program of related projects that overlap in resources and deadlines. In addition, 1C: Holding Management allows you to associate budget parameters with project stages, which makes it possible to combine the budgeting and project management process.

Like 1C: Consolidation 8 PROF, the new solution allows you to automate IFRS reporting through transformation, for this it has an appropriate set of instruments. In combination with the new IFRS transactional accounting subsystem, which automates such accounting entities as non-current assets, leasing, financial instruments, reserves, as well as the improved elimination and consolidation subsystem, this makes it possible to effectively automate the preparation of both separate and consolidated IFRS statements. At the same time, it is not important whether all companies of the group keep records in 1C: Holding Management or in other systems.

1C: Management of the holding inherited the main functionality of 1C: Consolidation of PROF, but has broader capabilities compared to it.

In addition to the capabilities described above, the new Intragroup Reconciliation Portal and a number of other "quick close" tools allow you to reduce the period-end closing times several times.

Another new possibility, compared to 1C: PROF Consolidation, is accounting, which previously required a separate solution to automate.

Compared to the enterprise management solution "1C:ERP Enterprise Management 2.0," "1C: Holding Management" contains functionality for integration with external accounting systems, master data management, consolidation, as well as more developed functions for, automation of budgeting, treasury, IFRS reporting, business analysis, but does not contain production and trading functionality.

For whom is intended

According to Stanislav Mitrokhin, "1C:ERP UP 2.0" is focused mainly on solving problems at the enterprise level or on a group of companies where there is a single corporate template of the information system for all subsidiaries. 1C: Holding management, in turn, is focused on the automation of management companies, as well as the automation of subsidiaries with various types of activities or operational accounting systems.

"With a heterogeneous business, 1C: Holding Management is the best choice in combination with 1C:ERP UP 2.0, or specialized industry solutions," says Stanislav Mitrokhin
.

It is worth noting that the circle of potential clients of the new solution is not limited only to holdings. Stanislav Mitrokhin notes that there is a noticeable number of large mono-companies that need functions implemented in 1C: Holding Management, such as advanced budgeting, IFRS, CPM functions, Treasury, etc. According to him, taking this into account, the solution in Russia has from 2000 to 5000 potential customers.

Beta

In August 2014, 1C announced the release of the beta version of the 1C: Holding Management solution. Its recommended retail price is equal to the cost of "1C: Consolidation of PROF" - 360 thousand rubles. The cost of the product at the dealer is 180 thousand rubles, and at a permanent partner it is even lower - 162 thousand rubles.

The delivery of the beta version includes the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform and a license to use the solution for one workplace. To use the product in more workplaces, you need 1C: Enterprises client licenses, which are purchased separately.

Distribution of the beta version "1C: Holding Management" is carried out only through partners with the status "1C: ERP Center," as well as through partners of the "1C: Consulting" network. At the same time, 1C plans to oversee the pilot implementations carried out by partners, which are of interest from its point of view regarding the testing and development of new functionality.

Final version. Start of sales

At the end of November 2014, 1C announced that since January 2015, 1C: Holding Management has been on sale. The recommended retail price of the base product is 990 thousand rubles, and licenses for subsidiaries and branches - 150 thousand rubles.

The supplied license "1C: Holding Management" allows the use of the product in the file version at one workplace. To use it in more workplaces, you need client licenses "1C:Enterprise 8," which are purchased separately. You can also use 1C:Enterprise 8 client licenses purchased for other products.

As for the license for subsidiaries and branches, it allows the solution to be used on the local network of a legal entity or branch, and client and server licenses necessary for the operation of the software product are also purchased separately.

Based on the company's price list, at a given price, "1C: Holding Management" at the time of release became the most expensive of all standard solutions that 1C itself produces directly.

"When the business of the group companies and/or the IT landscape is heterogeneous, the cost of automation projects grows nonlinearly depending on the number of companies. But we can significantly smooth out this dependence by combining 1C: Holding Management and industry software products. Therefore, the difference in cost of less than 700 thousand rubles between him and 1C: Consolidation PROF is not much, "Stanislav Mitrokhin, head of the 1C Automation of Management Accounting and Corporate Reporting department, told TAdviser earlier about the cost of the new product
.

The upgrade to 1C: Holding Management on standard terms is available for users of 1C: Accounting 8 CORP, 1C: PROF Consolidation and 1C: Consolidation 8 products, and for users of the 1C: Holding Management beta version, an upgrade is available on preferential terms.
