Distinct business processes

SAP S/4HANA for different lines of business (LOBs)

SAP S/4HANA includes several modules that are classified into different lines of business (LOBs), each comprising functions for specific business processes.
S/4HANA Finance: Focuses on all the financial aspects of a business, including financial accounting, controlling, treasury and risk management, financial planning, financial close and consolidation.
S/4HANA Logistics: A collection of LOB modules that includes Sourcing and Placement, Extended Procurement, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Asset Management, and several other modules centered around processes for supplier relationship management and supply chain management.
S/4HANA Sales: Comprises processes that are required to fulfill sales orders, including pricing, sales inquiries and quotes, promise checks, incompletion checks, repair orders, individual requirements, return authorizations, credit and debit memo requests, picking and packing, billing and revenue recognition.
S/4HANA R&D and Engineering: This module focuses on the product life cycle, including defining the product structure and bills of materials, product lifecycle costing, project and portfolio management, innovation management, management of chemicals or other sensitive materials used in development, and health and safety regulatory compliance.
Digital core LOB capabilities:Designed to meet specific requirements across various industry segments, such as Consumer Industries, Discrete Industries, Energy and Natural Resources, Financial Services, Public Service, and Service Industries.

Selecting the right S/4HANA solution for your industry segment is the key to achieving your IT and business objectives.

Factors to Count

Key considerations to note when building a business case for SAP S/4HANA

Defining a clear value proposition: Qualify and quantify the value of optimizing existing business processes and enabling new operating models.
Adopting the right S/4HANA migration strategy: Perform a detailed readiness assessment of the existing SAP solution, so you can develop an intelligent approach for converting your system to SAP S/4HANA.
Creating new business models: Scenarios where S/4HANA could provide competitive advantage, such as new supply chain and network models, insights into customer behavior and buying preferences, and integration of cloud-based services.
Re-engineering of existing data structures and transaction processing: Examples include faster period-end closing, profitability analysis, and workforce mobility and self-service.
Identifying candidates for migration: Assess the existing portfolio of legacy applications to eliminate weaker parts and use SAP Cloud Platform extensions to improve the effectiveness of well-functioning applications.
Understanding the benefits of cloud deployment: S/4HANA cloud is a subscription-based intelligent SaaS solution that provides large and rapid scalability, flexibility, and more software integration options.

Transitioning to SAP S/4HANA

Standard options for migrating from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA

There are three standard options for SAP S/4HANA migration:
New Implementation
As the name implies, new implementation refers to setting up a completely new ERP system that adopts standard next-generation processes and innovations. It requires decommissioning your old ERP, with only master data and open items/balances migrated to the new SAP S/4HANA system. Historical data is not covered, so the new system only contains the processes and data that are necessary for your future innovations.
System Conversion
System conversion allows organizations to migrate from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA by converting their existing SAP environment without re-implementation and without major change or disruption to existing business processes. This method preserves your original system, including data, processes, and custom code.
Selective Data Transition
Selective data transition is a customized or hybrid approach that uses preconfigured transformation rules to extract specific master and transactional data sets. Migration to the new S/4HANA platform is based on legal entities or other organizational elements.

A stitch in time saves nine. A certified SAP partner helps you choose the right S/4HANA migration approach.
