Case Study: Grifols automates intercompany transfer pricing with Profit&

Grifols Intercompany service charges for transfer pricing

Grifols, a multinational pharmaceutical company and leading global producer of plasma-based products, needed to improve its transfer pricing process as rising tax authority scrutiny put pressure on the team. Its spreadsheet-based intercompany service charge models were manual, error-prone, and based on budgeted figures rather than actuals, creating true-up adjustments and limiting transparency. Profit& helped Grifols modernize this process using SAP PCM.

Profit& implemented an automated intercompany service charge solution that uses actual data, waterfall methodology, and multiple reallocations across more than 50 legal entities, with results integrated directly into invoicing. The new model reduced monthly processing time from several days to just a few hours, improved transparency and traceability for business and tax authorities, and enabled on-demand what-if analysis.
