Q&A: All
Why S/4 HANA Matters to our Clients, GBS and our
People
Business benefits for companies who adopt SAPs As consultants, we must be prepared to have a point of view
S/4 HANA and Simple Finance as an enterprise regarding S/4 implementation strategies and options balancing ability
to execute and completeness of vision.

So why now?
S/4 is the future and the future is now.
The technology shift from ECC to S/4 is as significant as the shift from the mainframe SAP R/2 solution to the client
server SAP R/3 solution in the early 1990s.
Immediate opportunity since many companies chose not to migrate their ERP to Suite on Hana due to:
Focus on BW to Hana migration
Were waiting to better understand the business benefits of HANA beyond system performance improvement.
Imagine being able to render the maximum amount of information to a single users fingertips through analytical
insight, master data and transactional processing at the same time this is possible with S/4..
Employee roles are transformed, employee effectiveness is maximized, data entry clerks turn into knowledge
workers (e.g. customer service clerk can see customer profitability on same screen during collections call)
To re-imagine the roles of our clients employees, we must reinvent the art of the possible. As leaders in our SAP
business and in this industry, we must break out of our comfort zone, retool ourselves and our teams, and encourage
innovation focused recommendations to our clients.
During todays call, challenge yourselves to find a way to discuss S/4 with your
clients tomorrow, and encourage your teams to make time to build these new skills.

What is S/4 HANA and Demo of Benefit Areas
7
What is?
What is S/4HANA?
S/4HANA = Suite on HANA (ECC on HANA) + s-innovations, where currently available s-innovation is
Simple Finance 2.0. So until Q3/2015, S/4HANA = ECC on HANA + Simple Finance 2.0, and in Q4/2015,
S/4HANA = ECC on HANA + Simple Finance 3.0 + Simple Logistics 1.0.
What is Suite on HANA?
Business Suite (such as ECC, SCM, CRM and SRM compared to BW) running on HANA database as
opposed to traditional database such as Oracle and DB2.
What is Integration Strategy for Simple Finance with the rest of business functions?
Simple Finance runs on top of ECC on HANA and replaces only old Finance functions running on Classic
or New GL. All the other business functions are intact and already there, and no separate integration
strategy is needed
What is the roadmap for s-innovations?
The roadmap for s-innovations beyond Simple Finance 3.0 and Simple Logistics 1.0 is unclear. Next s-
innovation frequently mentioned is S_ERP, but there is no clarity around the scope of S_ERP, and it seems
more like generic term where Simple Innovation is applied to the areas other than Finance and Logistics. If
you have more information on this, please share with the team.

Business Benefits
The speed of the HANA database and the simplification that Simple Finance brings are major
innovations. We must keep in mind though that the new technology is in essence an enabler for
much bigger and bolder innovations in Enterprise applications and especially in Finance.
9
What is happening in my business right now?
Simple Finance directs the focus from the past to the present and the future.
How can we create new data in a more present oriented manner?
How do we store the newly created data more efficiently?
How do we report on the data in a timely manner?

Traditional SAP Architecture
Traditionally, SAP has stored GL, Customer, and Vendor balances and open item statuses in
a number of extra database tables in order to support reporting

A vendor invoice with 3 accounting line items would update more than 10 tables at least 15 times!

1. Complexity of the Upgrade
a. Source System Version
b. OS & DB Upgrade Requirement
c. Level of Customization
d. Unicode Migration Required
e. Regression Testing Requirement
2. Size of the Database
a. Migration to Suite on HANA
b. Migration to Simple Finance Data Structure
c. Database specific features turned on
a. Upgrade to the latest version (for instance, ECC 6.0 EHP 7 SPS10)

What is HANA-tization?
Process of adjusting the ABAP objects (standard + custom) to avoid functional issues due
to migration to HANADB is called HANA-tization .
Pool/Cluster Tables:
Relying on not guaranteed default sorting of DB content
Depooling/Declustering
Direct access of physical clusters/pools

S/4HANA Best Practices
IBM has created Best Practices on Simple Finance 2.0 Migration in collaboration with SAP
IBM is working with SAP for upcoming s-innovations, namely, Simple Finance 3.0 and Simple
Logistics 1.0
Design review of Simple Finance 3.0 and Simple Logistics 1.0 in Q2/2015
Beta-testing of Simple Finance 3.0 and Simple Logistics 1.0 in Q3/2015
IBMs collaboration with SAP on this topic will benefit Kennametal in preparing for the next
phase after Simple Finance 2.0 migration
IBM has a global community on S/4HANA which drives collaboration across all SOH and

Simple Finance. They could not be processed after the often not very consistent. We found some key steps are missing after
installation of Simple Finance if they are forgotten or the migration and had to restore the database to correct the missing
neglected. steps. We have carefully documented these steps in IBM runbook.
2 Technical problems during installation of Simple Simple Finance has huge number of OSS notes (+200) with multiple
Finance and migration to Simple Finance revisions and manual steps. We had to back out certain OSS notes to
correct the sequence of OSS notes, and carefully documented these
steps.
