Migration and Conversations to S/4 HANA
History
SAP is a multinational German corporation founded in 1972.

SAP ECC stands for SAP ERP Central Component.

2015 SAP Launched SAP S/4 HANA.

History SAP
SAP S/4 HANA

SAP S/4HANA is SAP’s newest generation of ERP software that works on on-premise and in the cloud.
It uses technologies like AI, machine learning, and automation to improve business efficiency and speed.
With SAP S/4HANA, you can analyze large amounts of data in real-time.

The main downside is that SAP S/4HANA is only compatible with the SAP HANA database.

History SAP
SAP S/4HANA Different From SAP ECC
Default Account-Based CO-PA
In SAP ECC, costing-based CO-PA (CO-Profitability Analysis) is the default option. But in SAP S/4HANA, the default option is Account -Based CO-PA , though you can run both options
together.
FI and CO Merger
Businesses manage their financial data in SAP ECC with both FI (Finance) and CO (Controlling). In SAP S/4HANA, FI and CO are part of a single table in ACDOCA, the Universal Journal .
This means you no longer have to reconcile them with the General Ledger at each period-end. ACDOCA reconciles them automatically in real-time, so Period end closing are simple in SAP
S/4HANA.

Material Number Extension


SAP S/4HANA gives you the option of extending the material number from 18 characters to 40 characters. Bear in mind, though, if you turn on the extension you will have to adjust your custom
code to the
new material length of CHAR40.

History SAP
Integrated Business Partners
In SAP ECC, customers and vendors are separate data objects. SAP S/4HANA integrates customers and vendors into a unified master data object called
has several benefits, such as:
One business partner can have multiple roles and addresses
business partners . Customer-vendor integration

General data is shared across roles, which reduces your database footprint
There's less redundancy since unused data is deleted after a certain time-period

Real-time MRP
To process material requirements planning (MRP) in SAP ECC, you must wait until non-peak hours and run a batch job. In SAP S/4HANA, you can run MRP in real-time. SAP has also simplified
subcontracting in SAP S/4HANA. The downside? You can no longer run MRP at the storage level like in SAP ECC, but only at plant and area level.
Integrated SAP APO
For SAP S/4HANA, SAP integrated the main SAP Advanced Planning Optimizer (APO) submodules into two new configurations:
Demand planning and supply network planning are now integrated in the new SAP Integrated Business Planning (SAP IBP) module.
Production planning and detail scheduling, and global ATP have partly merged in the SAP S/4HANA digital core.

Mandatory Material Ledger


The Material Ledger (ML) is another feature that's optional in SAP ECC but mandatory in SAP S/4HANA. Most companies don't activate the ML in SAP ECC due to frustration with the many aggregate
and
index tables. But in SAP S/4HANA, the ML is part of ACDOCA, so this frustration is now a thing of the past.
ACDOCA: The Universal Journal
As mentioned before, SAP S/4HANA combines several data modules into a single table called ACDOCA (the Universal Journal). This includes asset accounting (AA), GL, ML, management accounting (MA), FI, and CO-PA. ACDOCA removes many
aggregate and index tables, which greatly reduces your data footprint. It's also a much more efficient system.

ATDOC Inventory Management


SAP S/4HANA introduces MATDOC, a new inventory management system that eliminates over 26 tables present in SAP ECC. Now, material documents are stored in MATDOC instead of MKPF or MSEG tables. This removes redundancy and improves
stock reporting efficiency.

The SAP HANA Database


SAP S/4HANA reads data from the main memory instead of the hard disk,
Tables in SAP S/4HANA are column-based instead of row-based, so it only reads the relevant column in a query. It can also process different columns in parallel.
There are no aggregate, index, or history tables since applications can access the original data.
SAP S/4HANA combines the online transactional processing (OLTP) and online analytical processing (OLAP) tables. You no longer need to reconcile them.
Advanced ATP
In SAP ECC, you can check product availability, product allocation, and backorders with available-to-purchase (ATP). With SAP S/4HANA, you can do all this and more with advanced ATP (aATP). aATP uses automation for functions like:

History SAP
Releasing items for delivery
Checking stock availability in alternative plants
Performing mass availability checks

Global Trade Services


SAP S/4HANA has global trade services (GTS), which replaces the foreign trade functions in SAP ECC. SAP GTS uses automation to speed up processes that were manual in SAP ECC. This includes embargo checking, license checks, and import and
export declarations.

FSCM Credit Management


FI-AR-CR was the credit management system in SAP ECC. In SAP S/4HANA, credit management falls under financial supply chain management (FSCM). Automated workflows in FSCM-CR remove manual processes for tasks like credit limit approval
and risk scoring. Also, its distributed architecture means it can interface with external credit agencies directly.

Extended Warehouse Management


In SAP ECC, warehouse management takes place in the Warehouse Management (WM) module. But this is replaced by the extended warehouse management (EWM) module in SAP S/4HANA. SAP EWM helps you manage complex warehouse
processes such as labor management and goods distribution with ease.

Revenue Accounting and Reporting (RAR)


The SAP S/4HANA Revenue Accounting and Reporting (RAR) module replaces SAP ECC’s SD Revenue Recognition module. RAR is an add-on that’s based on the new, five-step revenue recognition model found in International Financial Reporting
Standard 15 (IFRS 15). RAR comes with new optimized contract management capabilities to comply with IFRS 15. At the same time, it simplifies revenue recognition.

SAP Fiori User Interface


SAP S/4HANA introduces a new user interface, SAP Fiori. SAP Fiori gives users a consistent, intuitive, and integrated experience. With SAP Fiori, you can get work done faster and more accurately. This speeds up onboarding and training, and provides a
better user experience. You can also create custom enterprise apps that work consistently across devices.
Benefits of Moving to SAP S/4HANA

Better integration with other SAP products


Lower costs, such as lower operational and ownership costs
A smaller database footprint due to simplified data models
Automated processes improving productivity and performance
Faster, more intelligent decision-making
