From SAP S/4HANA Finance
to SAP S/4HANA 3
• The transition to SAP S/4HANA does not require
the source system to already be on SAP HANA DB
• SAP S/4HANA Finance is the first offering under
the SAP S/4HANA product family
• The decision to go for SAP S/4HANA Finance
should be based on the business benefits,
but is not a mandatory prerequisite for any system
conversion

PlanningSize is important – Minimize source system size
Use SAP DVM: Data Volume Management Work Center in SAP Solution ManagerArchived data is still accessible after conversion; data conversion happens during access to archive
For System Conversion:
Focus on "relevant" tables
Trim down source
Archive data
Check data quality
Trim target operation
Consider data aging
Monitor data growth

Detailed functional-level descriptions of required changes to individual transactions and solution capabilities in SAP S/4HANA.
Guidance on the activities customers need to complete before, during, and after the conversion to SAP S/4HANA.
Simplification list for SAP S/4HANA 1610 (PDF & XSL), see blog
https://blogs.sap.com/2016/10/31/simplification-list-sap-s4hana-1610

(e.g. business partner approach, material field length extension,…): Link
Using the Simplification ListSystem conversion – Simplification list (2)
Public© 2016 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. 4
The simplification list serves three purposes:
Planning the actual system conversion
Reducing efforts during the actual conversion
by enabling individual simplification items to be dealt with in
advance for those customers intending to migrate in a future project
Implementing SAP S/4HANA-compliant strategic capabilities when
rolling out new capabilities to avoid rework on SAP S/4HANA
(relevant to, for example, customers who still need to finish major
rollouts prior to converting to SAP S/4HANA)
Customers are supported by:
Descriptions of the changes in the simplification list
Pre-checks to establish whether a customer is currently using the
changed solutions or technologies
Custom Code Migration Worklist content to support the customer in
adapting custom code for use with SAP S/4HANA, where required
Tools and guidelines on handling the necessary adaptations related
to these changes, for example, reports for automatically migrating
data to the new data model during the system conversion
~16%
~59%
~25%
Currently we have 290 simplification list items. They basically fall
into three categories:
Note: Based on our current project experience, on average 30-40
simplification items are ultimately relevant for a dedicated customer
Change of existing functionality: 16%
Example: Simplifications of data structure
(e.g. in Sales & Distribution)
Functionality not available within SAP
S/4HANA: 59%
Functional equivalent available in most cases
Example: FI-AR-CR Credit Management
Not the target architecture: 25%
Functionality still available
Example: Warehouse Management (WM)
