All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 41Some Facts that you have to consider independent of the transition scenario → Preparation of master data for customers, vendors, employees, or materials Some master data has to obey to stricter check rules in SAP S/4HANA. Therefore, this data has to be checked and corrected before going to SAP S/4HANA independent of transition scenario. → SAP S/4HANA simplifications ▪ Concepts such as central business partner, new general ledger or new asset accounting are obligatory in SAP S/4HANA. Design and implementation of these topics are largely the same for any transition scenario. ▪ For certain applications or functions that are no longer available in SAP S/4HANA you have to implement new solutions as replacement. Efforts for these activities are virtually the same in both transition scenarios → SAP HANA DB If you move for the first time to SAP HANA as database, operational changes are the same. → Interfaces Most standard interfaces to external systems and data sources shall still work with SAP S/4HANA. In case of exceptions, necessary adjustments are virtually the same in both transition scenarios. → Become familiar with Simplification Items for target release. Sufficient time for workshops, training (Change Management) has to be included in the project plan. © 2018 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 42Key Success Factors • Conversion to SAP S/4HANA requires applications / functional staff and consultants with broad knowledge of Financials, Controlling and Asset Accounting • Ensure availability of key business people to work with application consultants on resolving functional issues • Consistency checks for master data is more restrictive in SAP S/4HANA, especially important: Customer/Vendor/Employee, Financials/Controlling and Material master. → Prior to running the system conversion this data shall be thoroughly analyzed and cleaned. • Consider setting up a pre-project to resolve data inconsistencies in Finance. They should be resolved before project starts in order to avoid any delays • Plan 2 to 3 test conversions on a sandbox/isolated system (refresh / new copy of the system might be necessary) before setting up development system • An accurate project planning can be done only after the first conversion on a sandbox/copy of production has been finished • Identify all the activities which can be done at any time and execute them before or during the preparation phase • Plan Dress Rehearsal (test conversion of productive system under real-time conditions) • Maintain a detailed ‘Run Book’ with as much as possible details, all the steps performed, the sequence, the errors and the resolution and also the time required for each activity. © 2018 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 43Recommendations • Check if (consistent) archiving can be done to reduce data volume to be converted • Check the compatibility of the 3rd party products as soon as possible and allocate time for more extensive testing • Both SAP Fiori and Embedded Analytics should be considered to leverage the full potential of SAP S/4HANA • Plan a dedicated SAP Fiori Expert Role as part of the project team to work with business, functional and basis • Plan sufficient time for testing of roles and changes in authorizations • Use the opportunity to replace Custom Code with standard functionality where possible • BW Extractors → Simplification Item 2500202 - S4TWL - BW Extractors in SAP S/4HANA • Consider to migrate from SAPscript forms to Adobe Document Services © 2018 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 44Summary: Actual findings from customer projects & recommendations • System conversion projects are in average shorter and cost less than new implementation (Greenfield) projects → Many customers choose system conversion for doing a ‚technical uplift‘ to the SAP S/4HANA platform; intensive adoption of new SAP S/4HANA applications and SAP Fiori UI Technology is often addressed in follow-up projects. • Analysis of installed-base SAP S/4HANA projects with a (planned) go-live in 2018 or later shows, that almost half chose system conversion, this trend is rising… • SAP S/4HANA Finance and SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management projects have pretty much the same project duration → In general a two-step approach by moving to SAP S/4HANA via SAP S/4HANA Finance does not make sense • Is a phased approach possible? • Phased move to SAP S/4HANA by organization units (company code- / client-wise → LT scenario), vs. • System conversion approach with reduced scope as a technical uplift for all organizational entities with low impact, followed by individual process optimizations/adaptations per organizational entity. • For SAP ERP on any DB customers a two-step approach via SAP ERP on SAP HANA has in general no significant benefits (individual exceptions may make sense in case of for non-unicode systems & for SAP ERP system releases < SAP ERP 6.0) • We plan to stop offering system conversion paths from SAP ERP to older SAP S/4HANA releases for new projects. → System conversions will always be possible to the latest two SAP S/4HANA releases (on ‚stable stacks‘). © 2018 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company.
