Project Planning

The VP Roadmap to S/4 HANA defined the related IT projects!

Principles were:

A) Avoid double costs on the way to S/4 HANA

-> Reflect all SAP Projects and Change

Requests for compatibility with S/4 HANA

-> Avoid new ABAP developments

-> Migrate the rest of the SAP landscape to Sybase ASE DB

B) Respect technical dependencies for the DB Migration to HANA (Step

1), the Embedded BW (Step 2) and the S/4 Conversion Step 3)

-> see following slides

C) Ensure that stable SAP operation will not be impacted

Fiori Apps in all areas which look like providing added value

New plan:

Mandatory Fioris (2)

Fioris in the area of new functionality (CCM, FSCM-CM, FT/Intrastat)

Fiori Apps in all areas which look like providing added value => postponed

S/4 Conversion Project – Fiori approach

Customer Code Adaptation was based on

Extended Customer Code check (Service from itelligence Add Store)itelligence.addstore.de/Extended Customer Code Check

UPL (Usage Procedure Logging) over several month

What to do with not used Coding (non-UPL) ?

Adaptation, too

Implement shortdumps with a message

Vetropack decision: nothing – the User will realise it and complain !

S/4 Conversion Project – Tips

S/4 HANA Conversion –leicht gemacht ?

Im Prinzip ja….

…aber nicht auf die leichte Schulter nehmen !

Denn wie Sie im Vortrag von Herrn Wiegand gehört haben, hat diese Schulter ein paar Dinge zustemmen.

=> Die Ist-Situation muss vor dem Projekt seriös analysiert werden

Als Dienstleistung bietet itelligence einen S/4HANA Pre-Check an, anhand dem die grobenWeichenstellungen für ein S/4HANA Projekt vorgenommen werden können
