SAP S/4HANA System Conversion
SAP S/4HANA Landscape Transformation
SAP S/4HANA New Implementation

4. SAP S/4HANA – The User Experience Reimagined

5. SAP Fiori – Intuitive User Experience
Today Functional-based applications
Target Role-based applications
from: One transaction for multiple roles with too much and complex functionality
to: Decomposed apps for each role with simple functions
from: Multiple entry points for the user and inconsistent user experience
to: One entry point for the User and UX following common design directions
This is the current state of planning and may be changed by SAP at any time.

14. HANA is about Transformation, not about speed
Speed is really a symptom, not the entire result
Faster processes should lead to org changes
For example: Shorter MRP run times or shorter financial period closes – look to how this impacts the business process
Faster MRP – can you run MRP on-demand? What advantage does that give the company?
Shorter period close – Does this allow financial staff to add value in other ways? More time for analysis?
Don’t focus only on speed. Greater value comes from redesigned business processes.

15. Additional key Takeaways
Update training materials to include Fiori UX changes
All migrations to S/4HANA need OCM support and attention
Analyze S/4HANA functionality for process improvements
Change in roles of technical support staff
BASIS / DBAs especially
Cloud changes
Hybrid environment can implement quicker in some cases
Also moves some support from internal to cloud vendor
Moves capital investment to manageable expense

16. ASUG’s Take on S/4HANA Adds value to your company
Finance activities are quicker, more streamlined
SAP VE group measures 25% faster close, 61% less expense
Recent November release of 1511
Was called Simple Logistics; now renamed
“S/4 HANA Enterprise Management”
Simplifies some of the IT workload
Less DBA work for BASIS folks
Smaller footprint of database
Simplifies the Processes for just about everyone else

Frank
Status S/4HANA Cloud
The move to the cloud can be considered as a new implementation project with classical data migration activities. Data transfer is supported by a data migration server toolset included in the S/4 HANA stack (SAP Landscape Transformation [SLT]).
Virtual private network (VPN) connection: Set-up connectivity between source system and Cloud target system in cooperation with SAP Service Center
With the first SAP S/4HANA Cloud release, only a limited set of data migration objects are supported (focus for the business scenario “Project based services”)
For Example:
Customer & Vendor Master (source = classic customer, vendor)
Material Master
Bank Master
Activity Types, Activity Type Groups
Cost Centers, Profit Centers, Profit Center Groups, Cost Center Group
Inventory Balances
Planned Independent Requirements
The first S/4HANA Cloud customers will get specific migration support by SAP
Outlook
Based on the first S/4HANA customer we want to
improve support for migration projects
improve the migration tools (advanced error handling, application specific checks, mapping …)
Replace VPN by Cloud Connector
Data Migration Services
Standardized Data Migration Services are defined and offered for the S/4HANA cloud edition and the required data migration tasks need to be executed in close cooperation with SAP.
Data Extraction
Data Mapping
API/BAPI Call
S/4HANA Cloud System
SAP Cloud Operations: Provision of cloud instance
Customer: Implement configuration in target
Customer: Implement integration to SAP Business Suite System or use template- based approach
Service Center: Re-Implement customer enhancements
S/4HANA Cloud Data Migration
Consulting Service:
Maintain data mapping (Business Objects to be transferred) in SLT
