SAP ERP Evolution

Roadmap : The Path to S/4 HANA - Simplified Enterprise Application for Business

S/4 HANA – The next Generation Business Suite
What Changes with S/4 HANA? Key Benefits?

1. A complete rewrite of the old ECC code for that functional area, and 1. Move OLAP back into ERP
includes moving application code down to the database as stored 2. Bring in many data sources from inside and outside the business into
procedures the HANA platform
2. New data model with removal of all old tables, aggregates and indices 3. Use Speed of In-Memory to match & cleanse data on the fly
to fewer columnar based tables – So Real Single Version of the Truth 4. Build business rules in the Platform to create a new Data Model and
3. Transactions are automatically enabled with new SAP Fiori front end new processes
for anytime, anywhere access 5. Optimization of business processes including removal of unnecessary
steps, and some batch processing
4. Real Time Operational Analytics on the ERP platform versus data
latency with SAP BW reporting., 6. Deliver actionable insight and innovation fast from “Big Data
7. Simplified User Interface via SAP Fiori
Key pre-Reqs What Makes this possible?

1. ECC on RDMS will only provide limited benefits versus S/4 HANA 1. In Memory Database … RDMS will never be supported for S/4
2. Suite on HANA will provide some benefits HANA
3. Full IT and Business Benefits from S/4 HANA and enablement of S- 2. Support for Columnar Database tables
Innovations 3. Ability to move logic to database layer via stored procedures

Agenda Topic
Overview of SAP S/4 HANA

Finance

What is SAP S/4 HANA Finance (formerly SAP Simple Finance)

SAP Simple Finance is a comprehensive finance solution based on SAP HANA,
available with SAP Business Suite 4 HANA, or S/4 HANA allowing “real-time” analytics
at “most granular level” across all financial dimensions with a new data model and new
user experience.
 It should not be interpreted as merely a simplified version of SAP FI/CO , contrary to what the name suggests.

What is HANA
What is HANA?
 Acronym for "High-Performance Analytic Appliance“
 The HANA platform brings processes and analytics together, enabling clients to use real-time data for fast
decisions and outperform the competition
 HANA is a combination of technologies:
• In-Memory data storage
• Column-based storage
• Optimisation and compression
• Data logic moved from application layer to data layer
In-Memory is a technology that …

 Allows processing of massive quantities of real-time data
 Provides immediate results from analysis and transactions

 Utilises main memory (RAM) of the system for faster processing
Column Based Storage

 Relational Databases traditional use row-based data storage
 HANA support both row-based and column-based storage, and is optimised

for column-based
 Colum-based storage has benefits such as faster data access, better
compression, better parallel processing

SAP S/4 HANA Finance – Product View

What’s in it for …..
+ Simple Data Model + Single Source of Truth

• Predictive Business data
+ Reduced Data Footprint + Quick and Flexible Reporting • Period Close Simulation
• Fraud & Risk Management
+ High Data throughput + Accelerated Close • Deeper real-time insights
across organization
+ Multiple Deployment + On the fly Capabilities • Support for Database
Options platforms
+ New functionalities
+ Non-disruptive …..much more
+ Integrated Planning
+ Inline with latest trends
+ NextGen User Experience

Simplified Data Model
 Classic approach: 2 tables, 8 materialized views and 9 materialized aggregates

► materialized views: BSIS, BSAS, BSID, BSAD, BSIK, BSAK, FAGLBSIS, FAGLBSAS
materialized aggregates: GLT0, GLT3, FAGLFLEXT, KNC1, LFC1, KNC3, LFC3, COSS, COSP.
►
 New Simple Finance approach: 2 tables with corresponding compatibility views

S/4 HANA – Example of dramatic Simplification : Invoice Posting

Universal Journal - Single Version of Truth

Tables that are removed (now views)
ANEA Fixed Assets: Line items for proportional values FAGLBSAS Index for G/L Accounts – New G/L (Cleared Items)
ANEK Fixed Assets: Document header FAGLBSIS Index for G/L Accounts – New G/L
ANEP Fixed Assets: Line items FAGLFLEXA New General Ledger: Line items
ANLC Fixed Assets: Cumulative values FAGLFLEXT New General Ledger: Totals
BSAD Index for Customers (Cleared Items) GLT0 General Ledger: Totals
GLT3 Summary Data Preparations for Consolidation
BSAK Index for Vendors (Cleared Items)
KNC1 Customer master (transaction figures)
BSAS Index for G/L Accounts (Cleared Items)
KNC3 Customer master (special G/L transaction figures)
BSID Index for Customers
LFC1 Vendor master (transaction figures)
BSIK Index for Vendors
LFC3 Vendor master (special G/L transaction figures)
BSIM Index, Documents for Material
MLCD Material ledger
BSIM Secondary index for documents on material
MLCR Material ledger
BSIS Index for G/L Accounts MLCRF Material ledger
CKMI1 Index for accounting documents MLHD Material ledger: Document header
COEP Cost Line Items MLIT Material ledger: Line items
COSP Cost Totals for External Postings MLPP Material ledger
COSS Cost Totals for Internal Postings MLPPF Material ledger

Database Footprint Reduction (theoretical model)

Non Disruptiveness
Safeguarding customer
investments
 From the perspective of an ABAP
program nothing changed (read
access)
 We provide so called
“compatibility views”.
 Via this views the select is
redirected to the new persistency
in HANA
 In the example given, an access
to table COEP is redirected via
the view V_COEP to the new
Universal Journal Entry
 Consequence: Customer ABAP
programs that read directly
“COEP” via select statements
continue to run as before
 All programs with write access to those deleted tables replaced by CDS views will create issues
and can not be used anymore without adaptation. Remove all write accesses in the views
replaced by tables. Use the code inspector (note 1976487)

Optimization by Code Pushdown Approach

Traditionally, application logic is executed in the ABAP application server and data is copied between
the data and application server. This is an expensive process for data intensive processes. With AS
ABAP 7.4 for HANA , it is possible to “Push Down “ calculation intensive logic on data within the
data set from the application server to the database server. SAP HANA database then performs the
calculations and sends the resulting data set .

New Capabilities
Function Business Value
New: SAP’s new definition of “single source of truth” with a new data model that combines CO, FI, CO-PA and
Universal Journal other financial data into one Universal Journal Entry, all represented in one line item table with full detail for all
components. As all data is now provided real-time from this single journal, effort on period-end reconciliations
and financial reporting preparation is expected to reduce.
New: On-the-fly computations for converting periodic transactions, such as month-end activities, from batch to real
Ad-hoc Capabilities time, without needing data to be replicated first to other systems like BI.
Reporting is simplified, fast and multi-dimensional, making the “drill-down” reports almost redundant.
New: The ability to move away from batch to event-based processing enables period end processes to be run on a
Accelerated Financial Close daily or weekly basis. This provides a more real-time view of their P&L, providing the business with early
visibility of emerging trends.
New: New, more user-friendly process to plan in Excel with real-time data and load plans back to ECC for
Integrated Business Planning in ECC reporting, with templates for Cost Centre, Internal Order, Project, Profit Centre, Cost of Sales, and P&L
planning.
With HANA Live!, real-time reporting on actual vs. plan inside ECC or Excel. Historically this was done in
external SAP BW system with a time lag on actuals.
Replacement: Mandatory replacement for old Asset Accounting with simplified posting logic and tight integration with
New Asset Accounting Universal Journal.
New: Optional replacement for Cash & Liquidity Management. Adds bank account management, short-term cash
Smart Cash Management position & forecast reports, and real-time liquidity planning, allowing for tighter cash management (for
optimising working capital).
Provides on-the-fly reporting capabilities about cash position and liquidity forecast.
New: Optional replacements for many of SAP’s traditional “drill-down reports”.
Smart Financials Reporting
Replacement: A technical change that replaces SAP data archiving
Data Aging
Obsolete: Functionality will be completely replaced by New G/L. Classic GL is only supported up until Simple Finance
Classic GL is introduced.

SAP S/4 HANA – General Adoption Paths for On-Premise

Early Adopter Experience
1. The configuration takes more or less similar time frame .

2. In few areas the configuration and master data set up have moved to NWBC
( Net weaver client portal) e.g. Bank Account Management, Cash and liquidity
planning
3. Account Based COPA preferred
4. GL or Cost center planning has moved to Integrated Business Planning
5. Observed system error in few areas like coding Block
6. Real time entry to both leading and non leading ledgers
7. Introduction of Appendix ledger with enhanced functionality
8. The asset migration has been simplified , 3 step process instead of one step
process.

S/4 HANA Finance – Reasons for Caution
 Relatively new product and there are legitimate questions about its maturity
 HANA forces a vendor lock-in for the Database
 Costs/licensing implications still not very clear
 Full impact of Simple Finance enablement, including business benefits, integration
with connected applications and technical migration still not convincing
 Certain IS and specific components are not yet supported – JVA , FM, Lease
Accounting, Public Sector
 Transfer Pricing, Multiple valuations of COGM is not yet supported
 Solution for complex localizations may be a challenge – Brazil, China , Russia.
• New implementations should consider “Why not S/4 HANA”

• Some caution should be adopted when discussing HANA with large-scale global SAP customers, until a more
detailed evaluation is carried out

Cost Element Category 90 for Balance Sheet Accounts

“Statistical” cost elements of category 90 are created automatically when:
 You create a Balance Sheet G/L Account and the Account Group is one used for fixed asset or material accounts
 The Account is a reconciliation account for asset or material
 The accounts have been set-up in the Asset or Material Management account assignment
 You select the checkbox “Apply Acct Assignments Statistically in Fixed Asset Acct/Material Acct”.

COPA in Simple Finance
SAP Accounting focuses on the enhancement and integration of Account-Based CO-PA
Account-Based CO-PA
• Significant enhancements delivered – closing critical gaps of the past, and providing new
real-time insight. Planned to continue in this direction
• Split of cost-of-goods-sold posting on multiple accounts (by cost component)
• Split of production variances posting on multiple accounts (differentiation of price / quantity
effects)
• Three new quantity fields in the line items + BAdI for conversion of logistic quantities to
common quantities (e.g. products sold in different box sizes – but KPI in Finance is
calculated on tons/KG of products)
• Real-time derivation of market segment information from cost postings (cost center, order,
WBS element).
Costing-Based CO-PA
• Product continues to exist and be supported, but no enhancements with SAP Accounting.
• Customers can run account-based and costing-based CO-PA in parallel.
• Existing customers should assess if account-based CO-PA can cover their needs.
• If yes, consider switching to account-based CO-PA. If no, continue using costing-based
CO-PA.

COPA changes

HANA Acceleration of COPA report Execution

Agenda Topic
Impact in Asset
Accounting

New Asset Accounting in SAP S/4 HANA Finance
• New Asset Accounting is the only Asset Accounting solution in SAP Accounting on
HANA ; classic Asset Accounting is not available any more.
• Configuration and activation is on the client level.
• Both multiple valuation approaches are possible : Ledger Approach and Accounts
Approach.
• Periodic posting runs are fully obsolete due to real-time update.
• Transparent assignment of depreciation area to accounting principle
• For every additional currency defined on the company code, a corresponding

depreciation area needs to be set up.
• Significant speed-up of asset depreciation run (amounts to be posted are calculated

real-time and no more as part of the depreciation run itself).

New Asset Accounting in SAP S/4 HANA Finance

• Posting Options in Depreciation Area
• Fixed Asset Accounting based on Universal Journal –

• No redundancy in data storage
• Reconciliation between G/L and AA is ensured by design
– No reconciliation-step in financial close needed anymore.
– All non-statistical items are updated as Universal Journal Entries.
• Even after migration, reporting for previous fiscal years is possible due to compatibility
views.

Agenda Topic
Period End Closing

Financial Close and Reporting Acceleration

Accelerated Close
 Real time integration of Asset with GL, Elimination of reconciliation steps
 No separate program to be executed for balance carry forward in asset accounting. This would be done
along the GL close process FAGLGVTR
 Continuous Intercompany Reconciliation.
 Planned depreciation will automatically be calculated for the new year after having performed the balance
carry forward (Year-end Close)Fast depreciation posting run due to simple processing logic, new data
structures and parallel processing
 Complex calculations that are performed at period close, for example, the calculation of work in process
at actual costs, determination of production variances for production orders, and results analysis for sales
orders, are pushed down to the SAP HANA database in order to accelerate the close.
 In addition, the selection of the relevant data for period close processes such as overhead calculation and
settlement has been adjusted to take advantage of the SAP HANA database in-memory capabilities.
 Eliminates end-of-period batch job bottlenecks.
 Enhanced reports use a logical view that combines the financial accounting (FI) line item, the CO line
item, and the CO-PA dimensions (where available) to provide an income statement broken down by
market segments.

Length of the Migration Project

G/L Migration to SAP S/4 HANA Finance is Fast and Easy

 New G/L is not a pre-requisite
 The duration and effort is relatively small. It can be executed at any period-end
 It is supported by a migration guide and monitor.
 No New GL (or other) Migration Service is needed to migrate.
 As part of the migration, classic G/L data is automatically transferred to the new
data structures.
 Migration scope is comparable to migration to new G/L scenario 1 (Merge of the
FI Ledger).
 Existing PCA (profit center) and SL (special ledger) functions and features can
remain in place.
 Changes to coding blocks, external interfaces, security, reporting etc. are
optional
 Customers already running a migration project to new G/L in SAP ERP should
continue this project. The same goes for customer urgently requiring document
splitting.

Central Finance – Deployment Option

Centralization in a distributed system landscape as less disruptive approach
For customers running a large distributed system landscape not yet ready to upgrade their systems, SAP offers the “Central
Finance“ as a deployment option.
