Readiness checks are performed in two different phases of the

transition to SAP S/4HANA:

Discovery phase:

Before a transition to SAP S/4HANA, to identify and consider

technical and functional impacts in project planning

Planning Phase:

Once a transition project starts, to gather deep-dive analysis of

custom code and data consistency

Once productive on SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition,

SAP Readiness Check can continuously be used to plan (optional)

yearly upgrades

System Conversion SAP Readiness Check




▪ Use predefined filters

− Findings by SAP Note: In which

SAP S/4HANA simplification areas do you

get the most findings?

− Findings by scope: How many findings are

in the custom code you take over to

SAP S/4HANA?

− Findings by priority: What are the most

important (urgent) findings?

− Findings by quick-fix availability:

Which findings can be fixed automatically?

▪ Aggregation and filtering of findings

▪ Focus on used custom code

▪ Drill down to ATC results

▪ Navigation to affected custom code

▪ build new skills / implement new roles?

▪ define new ways of working between business and IT?

▪ support developing an innovation culture?

Focus on Change Management Including Communication and Enablement


Managing change in transition projects



Transition scenario-independent considerations

Technology

▪ SAP Fiori and Embedded Analytics should be considered to leverage the full potential of SAP S/4HANA

▪ Sizing for Embedded Analytics and SAP Fiori, and consider scale-out, active/active read-enable as well

▪ API framework is generally stable and standard interfaces to external systems still work with SAP S/4HANA

▪ Data volume management and archiving techniques should part of ALM strategy after go-live

▪ NW version of the systems connected to SAP S/4HANA has to be >=731, e.g. BW, PI, etc.

▪ Define application lifecycle and operations to include regular maintenance/upgrade of the SAP S/4HANA systems

Functional

▪ Use of a sandbox/reference system to explore functionality is recommended

▪ Master data governance should be considered as preparatory activity for customers, vendors, employees, or

materials etc.

▪ Leverage simplification list to get insights into functionality that has changed in SAP S/4HANA compared to ERP

▪ Focus end user enablement to improve adoption by system users and leverage SAP Learning Hub to upskill key

users

▪ Business Partner is the object to implement Customer and Supplier
