What Does it Mean to Simplify?

AN ANALOGY: SENDING A PHOTOGRAPH TO SOMEONE FAR AWAY

Camera Film Darkroom Paper Postal Service Recipient Complicated and with enormous

resource expenditure. Individual

components were eventually

sped-up to get the end-to-end

process to one day minimum.

“Camera” Internet Recipient Not merely faster—the

“architecture” is reduced. As a

result, the process happens

instantly and can be done any

time and in different ways for a

fraction of the cost.

Example: Soft Financial Close Anytime

Traditional System With SAP S/4HANA

Traditional With SAP S/4HANA

Process Excellence

User

Interaction Ad Hoc

With traditional system:

Close activities that don’t begin until period end

Multiple batch-run dependencies

Batch bottlenecks that delay downstream activities

High error-correction efforts

Complex issues that are postponed until after close

Time-pressured resolutions

Delayed visibility into reporting

With SAP S/4HANA

Real-time system with key performance indicators (KPIs) instantly refreshed

Elimination of end-of-period batch bottlenecks

Continuous intercompany reconciliation

Continuous financial reporting visibility

Profitability analysis and line-item detail reconciliation

Automation for routine tasks

Full management visibility of close tasks

Initial period Close and consolidation

Capabilities


Example: Post Goods Issue (PGI)

BUSINESS CHALLENGES

• The client’s facilities run 24/7 including high-volume, small lot size shipping transactions

• Materials are shared across plants and multiple shipments are frequently

executed in parallel

• Experiencing instances where PGI failed because the material data (batch stock)

was locked:

• Goods movement is posted

• Quantity on hand is updated in aggregation tables

• Delays trying to post goods issue while the truck driver is waiting

RESOLUTION IN ECC 6.0

• Repeat attempts to post PGI until there is no lock

• Reschedule background jobs for PGI

• Rethink batch strategy for materials

• Identify SAP Basic changes to reduce number of locks

RESOLUTION IN SAP S/4HANA

The Batch Stock tables no longer exist. Only the material movement

needs to be created without regard for the actual stock level.

Transactions can be run in parallel without table locks.

Reduced transaction

processing time

No carrier

detention fees

Reduced risk of users
