The FP&A process is manual in excel sheets and outside the system with no scenario planning

Manually extensive journal entry and reconciliation entries and Financial structure does not align to current business model

The gap between demand planning/actual order entry and manufacturing planning drives inventory imbalances- lack of Inventory visibility across sales locations and WH

The ability to manage real time credit check at the time of order entry can lead to sale to “ risky customers – add to that error in pricing reflecting in invoices

Disconnect between planning / inventory may end up producing wrong SKUs that are non-moving and reach end of shelf life.

Right Data Strategy, Right People and Right Tools§ Cleansed, Streamlined and well structured Data as foundation§ Engage experienced business users and IT resources§ Evaluate different deployment options - OP/Cloud/Hybrid§ Chalk out Migration strategies : Greenfield /Brownfield/System Conversion§ Use SAP provided tools for S/4 migration and adoption

Address and Manage Change§ Embrace change and be ready to disrupt and re-invent existing processes § Drive employee engagement through corporate communication§ Focus on User Experience (UX) apps – e.g. FIORI to drive simplification§ Leverage out of the box - S/4 HANA Reporting and analytics to deliver insights and predictions

SAP Readiness Check for SAP S/4HANA

Custom Code & Custom Dev• Custom Code must be analyzed with respect to SAP

S/4HANA compliance, based on the SAP simplification database

• SAP Readiness Check provides BOM of affected objects as well as SAP Custom Development Projects (CDP‘s)

• An in-depth custom code management activities to follow during project execution

Simplification items• Simplification Items represent application or architecture

changes in comparison to ERP• They are grouped by business priority (e.g. Core Finance)

and industry, respectively

AddOn’s & Business Functions• SAP AddOn’s and Business Functions as well as 3rd party

AddOn’s have to be checked for their compatibility with SAP S/4HANA

• SAP software is listed and rated• 3rd party software is listed only

S/4HANA Sizing• To prepare for SAP S/4HANA, a system sizing is the

baseline regarding the future target size• SAP Readiness Check summarizes the technical sizing

result so customers can discuss internally with SAP or partners the future target system size

Recommended Fiori Apps• Fiori apps recommended based on the transaction

usage history in the evaluated system

Transactions• Evaluate use of SAP GUI transactions replaced or

deprecated in SAP S/4HANA
