1 Introduction
SAP® S/4HANA is SAPs next-generation business suite, it is not a legal successor of any SAP Business
Suite product. It is a new product completely built on one of the most advanced in-memory platform
today – SAP HANA® – and modern design principles with the SAP Fiori user experience (UX). SAP
S/4HANA delivers massive simplifications (customer adoption, data model, user experience, decision
making, business processes, and models) and innovations (Internet of Things, Big Data, business
networks, and mobile-first) to help businesses Run Simple in the digital economy.
In the approach to build SAP S/4HANA, SAP is re-architecting its solution for modern business
processes demanded by an increasing digitization of the world. Re-architecting a solution that has
been growing over the past 25 years means and sometimes evolved into different data structures
and architectures means as well that we have to decide on one data structure and architecture
moving forward. This is the only way how we can prepare the solution for more simplicity and faster
innovation cycles.
Example: In the current ERP system we do have two general ledgers, the classical general ledger and
the new general ledger, that has been introduced mainly driven by the need to support multiple
valuation methods. Moving forward in SAP S/4HANA of course we have to decide on one general
ledger structure and here we have chosen the structure of the new general ledger offering much
more flexibility.
In most cases SAP is pursuing the functional strategies already laid out in the existing Business Suite
world, where many innovations have been started (like in the example above). In consequence it is
possible to prepare for the SAP S/4HANA System Conversion by a adopting the target capabilities
already in the classical SAP Business Suite.
That said SAP is taking responsibility for managing the impact of these decisions.
Many of the changes are technical in nature and have no or only limited impact on peoples
work and thus do not trigger business change management. Such changes will be mandatory
when converting a system to SAP S/4HANA.
Other decisions are more of a strategic nature determining which version of functional
support will evolve into the digital era and provide the capabilities demanded from the
unstoppable business process innovation. Where those strategic directions demand change
management through adoption, SAP at large keeps the traditional capabilities available as
compatibility scope enabling a rather technical migration of these processes and leaving the
time of change management at customer decision that may well happen when initially
converting or at a later point in time.
The total list of simplifications for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 compared to the SAP
Business Suite products captured in this list might appear quite long. However, SAP does not foresee
that any customer system will be hit by all of them as these go across all capabilities of the system
including industry solutions. This list must be treated as a complete inventory that needs to be
mapped against a productive environment to determine the impact when converting.

SAP expects, that the same applies to custom code implemented by our customers themselves or by
partners. This code has grown over time and experience has shown that a large share of custom code
is not even used anymore. Simplifying your own extensions will benefit the general simplification of
your system. To ease this process SAP will provide an analysis that will determine custom code in the
context of these changes and as such the effort of custom code migration will become projectable.
In addition, customer should be aware of the fact that only S/4HANA packages (and no other
software) shall be deployed on an S/4HANA installation. Details are set forth in the Software Use
Rights document.
To allow our customers a better planning and estimation of their way to SAP S/4HANA, we have
created the “Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511”. In this list we are
describing in detail on a functional level what happens in S/4HANA to individual transactions and
solution capabilities. In some cases, we have merged certain functionality with other elements or
reflected it within a new solution / architecture compared to the SAP Business Suite products.
1.1 Purpose of the Document
The purpose of this document is to support customer in the system conversion from SAP ERP 6.x or
SAP Simple Finance, on-premise edition to SAP S/4HANA, on-premise 1511 Edition.
Note: The Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA is edition/release dependent. In this collection we
are focusing on SAP S/4HANA, on-premise 1511 Edition.
For future SAP S/4HANA releases, a new list will be made available.
1.2 General Topics for the simplification list
Moving to SAP S/4HANA On-Premise 1511 delivery, for a typical ERP 6.x customer requires a
database migration to SAP HANA (if the customer is not yet on SAP HANA) followed by the
installation of the new simplified code and requires also changes in adaptions on customer’s side.
The most prominent example where the customer needs to adapt to these SAP S/4HANA On-Premise
1511 delivery simplifications is the custom code which needs to be compliant with the data structure
and scope of the appropriate SAP S/4HANA release.
In addition, customer should be aware of the fact that only S/4HANA packages (and no other
software) shall be deployed on an S/4HANA installation. Details are set forth in the Software Use
Rights document.
Customers expectation related to the move to SAP S/4HANA On-Premise 1511 delivery is that SAP
informs and gives guidance about the required steps and tasks on this journey.
Based on the “Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511”, SAP will provide the
information per application/functional area about the SAP S/4HANA On-Premise 1511 delivery
related simplifications. The Simplification List is a collection of single “Simplification Items” with the
on 1511

focus on what has to be considered through an Implementation / System Conversion Project from
SAP ERP 6.X Customers to SAP S/4HANA On-Premise 1511 delivery.
Per Simplification Item the following information will be provided:
Description, Business Impact and Recommendations
SAP Notes (for related Pre-Checks or Custom Code Checks)
1.2.1 Description
The Simplification List is structured into different application / functional area known from SAP
Business Suite with a short explanation about the technical change.
1.2.2 Business Process related information
Here it is described what the Simplification Item means for the related business processes.
1.2.3 Recommendations
The dedicated recommendations will give a description about how the related custom code needs to
be adapted (based on SAP Notes).
Note: The recommendations and SAP Notes are formulated in a general manner corresponding to a
standard customer SAP Business Suite architecture and therefore may differ depending on the real
System Landscape in place.
1.3 Pre-Check Relevance
Pre-checks are shipped as SAP Notes to customers that want to convert to S/4HANA. Customers can
use these pre-checks to find out what mandatory steps they have to carry out before converting to
S/4HANA. The results list the instances that need addressing before attempting the conversion
process.
1.4 Custom Code related information
To support the customer to detect custom code which need to be adapted moving to SAP S/4HANA
On-Premise 1511 delivery, SAP offered a custom code analysis tools (as part of the NW 7.50). The
customer can verify if his current custom code will be compliant with the SAP S/4HANA On-Premise
1511 delivery data structures and scope.

Business Partner Approach
2.1.1.1.1
Description
There are redundant object models in the traditional ERP system. Here the vendor master and customer
master is used. The (mandatory) target approach in S/4HANA is the Business Partner approach.
Business Partner is now capable of centrally managing master data for business partners, customers, and
vendors. With current development, BP is the single point of entry to create, edit, and display master data for
business partners, customers, and vendors.
Additional Remarks:
It is planned to check the introduction of the Customer/Vendor Integration in the pre-checks and the
technical Conversion procedure of SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511. A system where the
customer/vendor integration is not in place will be declined for the transition.
The Business Partner Approach is not mandatory for the SAP Simple Finance, on-premise edition 1503
2.1.1.1.2
Business Process related information
Only SAP Business Suite customer with C/V integration in place can move to SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition
1511 (Conversion approach). It´s recommended but not mandatory that BuPa ID and Customer-ID / Vendor ID
are the same.
The user interface for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 is transaction BP. There is no specific user
interface for customer/vendor like known from SAP Business Suite (the appropriate specific transaction like
XD01, XD02, XD03 or VD01, VD02, VD03 / XK01, XK02, XK03 or MK01, MK02, MK03 etc. are not available in SAP

2.1.1.1.3
Required and Recommended Action(s)
Before you begin the BP conversion from an SAP ERP system to an SAP S/4 HANA system, you have to answer
the questions
Whether the Business Partner ID and Customer-ID /Vendor ID should be the same in the S/4 HANA
System?
The keys for a smooth synchronization of the ERP customer/vendor into the S/4 system with the business
partner as the leading object are beside Business Partner Know-How also consistent customer/vendor data and
valid and consistent custom/vendor and Business Partner customizing entries. For this reason, the
customer/vendor data has to be cleaned up before it can be converted into the S/4 Business Partner.
The entire Business Partner data transfer including conversion and Business Partner post processing activities
usually takes place in four phases, which are illustrated in the following diagram.
Prepare: Pre-Checks and clean-up customer/vendor data in the ERP System
Implement SAP S/4HANA Conversion Pre-Checks according to the SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition
Conversion guide chapter Pre-Checks.
Activate Business Function CA_BP_SOA.
In case that the Business Function CA_BP_SOA not yet in the system exist you have to create a new
Business Function in the customer namespace with the switches VENDOR_SFWS_SC1 and
VENDOR_SFWS_SC2. The new customer specific Business Function must be of type Enterprise
Business Function (G) - see also Mandatory checks for customer, vendor and contact.
Check CVI customizing and trigger necessary changes e.g. missing BP Role Category, Define Number
Assignments according to the S/4 Conversion guide chapter Introduce Business Partner Approach
(Customer Vendor Integration).
Check and maintain BP customizing e.g. missing tax types.
Check and clean-up customer/vendor data e.g. missing @-sign in the e-mail address.
Synchronization
Synchronization (Data load) is done via Synchronization Cockpit according to the S/4 Conversion guide
Customer Vendor Integration.
In case of an error during the synchronization process due to data/customizing mismatch you will find
the errors in the monitor tab button Call PPO in Synchronization Cockpit.
Run Business Partner Pre-Check PRECHECK_UPGRADATION_REPORT to verify the results according to
the note 2211312.
Conversion Process
Conversion Process must be triggered according to the S/4 Conversion guide.
Business Partner Post Processing

The customer/vendor transformation is bidirectional. You can both process customer/vendor master
records from business partner maintenance as well as populate data from customer/vendor
processing to the business partner. After the successful S/4 conversion process you have to activate
the post processing for direction Business Partner Customer /Vendor according to the S/4
Conversion guide chapter Customer Vendor Integration.

2.1.1.3 Material Number Field Length Extension
SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 can support a material number with 40 characters. The
appropriate related SAP development entities (domains, structures, table types, and transparent
tables, external and internal interfaces, user interfaces, and so on) have been adapted accordingly.
Where required, automated logic is in place and executed automatically in case a customer converts
his current SAP Business Suite system into SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511.
Nevertheless there might be constellations where a customer needs to be aware about. For example:
In certain constellations there might be the requirement to adapt custom code related to the
material number field length extension.
In a multi-system landscape, the customer has to decide if and when to switch on the extended
material number functionality, as the switch impacts how compatible the system
communicates within a system landscape.
In the following chapters, the different aspects of the material number field length extension are
described.
on 1511
Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
19
2.1.1.3.1 Overview
With SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511, the maximum field length of the material number is
extended from 18 to 40 characters.
The material number field length extension was done with SAP S/4HANA and is available within the
SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 and SAP S/4HANA, cloud-edition 1511. For the first step into
SAP S/4HANA – SAP Simple Finance, on-premise edition 1503 – the maximum field length is still 18
characters long. Additional remark: The next version of SAP Simple Finance, on-premise edition
which will be based on Enhancement Package 8 will as well be based on an 18 characters long
material number.
2.1.1.3.2 Consistent Usage in System-Internal Coding
Extending the material number means that in the coding within the system it must be ensured that
40 characters can be handled at all relevant coding places. Especially, it must be made sure that the
material number will not be truncated to its former length of 18 characters as this would result in
data loss.
In an SAP system, this consistent behaviour is usually ensured by the fact that all data elements used
to type relevant fields are derived from the same domain, the domain defining the technical length
of the derived fields. Whenever coding uses these fields, the coding is automatically adapted when
the domain changes.
For the material number itself we identified the domains that are used to define material number
fields. All these domains have been extended to 40 characters.
Besides these direct usages of the material, it may be that a specific material is also used in other
fields. An example may be characteristic values: A material may well be used as characteristic value.
For all such fields for which a material – besides other possible values – is a valid content, it has been
checked that these fields are long enough to hold the extended material number. These fields (or
the underlying domains) have been extended as well. Extending further – dependent – fields of
course means that the usages of the fields have been investigated as well.
on 1511
Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
20
Extending such “target” fields which are not material numbers by themselves was only done if the
material number needs to be handled in the field, as extending a field usually trigger follow up
changes. At several places, the material number is used as reference, template, or for other reasons
but another (shorter) value, for example, a GUID, could be used as well. In these and other similar
cases, it may be the better choice to switch to another value. Using this other value has been done at
all places where this was appropriate.
Overall, the complete data flow in the system has been analysed to identify all places at which a
material number was moved to a field that was not long enough for a 40 character material number.
All these conflicts have been handled in one of the ways described above. Such an analysis also needs
to be done in customer or partner coding.
The described changes have also been applied to parameters of all interfaces that are usually called
only within one system, that is, local function modules, class methods, BAdIs etc. In the types and
structures used as parameters in these local calls, the material number has simply been extended to
40 characters. The same is true for other extended fields as well. This was usually also done for
unreleased remote enabled function modules as the main use case for such function modules is an
internal decoupling within one system.
For interfaces that are usually called remotely, a different way has been chosen. For more
information, see the specific chapter below.
2.1.1.3.3 Storage of the Material Number on the Database
Extending the material number on the database means that the field length of the MATNR field on
the database has been extended from 18 to 40 characters. This has been done in all tables (and all
fields within the tables) in which a material number can be stored.
Although the maximum length of the database field used to store the material number is now 40
characters, the way how the material number content is stored in the database field has not been
changed compared to SAP Business Suite. This means that for such fields usually no data conversion
is needed when converting from SAP Business Suite to SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511.
This holds especially true for pure numeric material numbers. With standard Customizing (leading
zeroes are not significant, lexicographic flag not set), pure numeric material numbers are still
restricted to 18 characters and will be filled up on the database only up to 18 characters by leading
zeroes. This is the same behaviour as in SAP Business Suite.
Overall, the chosen way of storing material number content avoids data conversions in the database.
Note that data conversion will be needed when a material number is stored in a field that has a
concatenated content, and the material number is part of that concatenated content: Concatenation
in the code uses the complete technical length of the field (which now is 40 characters) and is also
reflected in the database content. This will be explained in detail later in this Simplification Item.

2.1.1.3.4 The Material Number in Released External Interfaces
Usually a customer has a multi-system landscape: The ERP system is connected to miscellaneous
internal and external (SAP or non-SAP) systems. Accordingly, a SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
system with a material number field length of 40 characters needs to consider this multi-system
landscape requirement where not all related systems are able to deal with a 40 character material
number.
Furthermore, it cannot be assumed that all ERP systems in a customer landscape will be converted to
SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 at the same point in time. That means that the external
interfaces used for integration have to be compatible to old versions of the interface.
This is especially relevant for the commonly used integration techniques BAPI, RFC, and IDoc as these
techniques rely on a fixed length and order of fields in the transmitted data. Simply extending the
material number field (or other extended fields) in these interfaces would therefore technically break
the version compatibility.
We have decided to provide a technical-version compatibility for released external interfaces in the
way that is commonly used and proposed for BAPI interfaces: The already existing field keeps its
original length and a new field has been added at the end of the structure (or as new parameter) that
allows transmitting material numbers with 40 characters.
Besides this, it must be ensured that no material number (or other extended field) can be maintained
in the system with a content length greater than the old length of the field. To enforce this and to make
the field length extension as far as possible non-disruptive for the SAP S/4HANA customers, the
extended material number functionality must be switched on explicitly. Only after this decision it is
possible to allow more than 18 characters for the material number.
The changes described have been done for BAPIs, IDocs, and released remote-enabled function
modules. This has additionally been implemented where necessary for remote function calls issued by
the SAP S/4HANA system and for unreleased remote-enabled function modules that are used to
communicate with other SAP Business Suite products like SAP SCM or SAP CRM.
A complete list of relevant function modules, IDocs, and structures that have been extended in this
way can be found in the piece lists in the simplification database.
For released WebServices (SOA?), adding a new field or extending the material number field was not
necessary as these services usually already allow material number with up to 60 characters in their
interfaces.
After an SAP Business Suite System has been converted to SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 or
a SAP S/4HANA on-premise edition 1511 was newly installed, the extended material number
functionality will by default be switched off.

2.1.1.3.5
System Behaviour Depending on the Extended Material Number Switch
If the extended material number functionality is NOT switched on, the system behaves as follows:
After an SAP Business Suite System was converted to SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition
1511, the B2B and A2A communication via BAPIs, IDOCs, Web-Services, released RFCs
(inbound), and remotely called RFCs (outbound) still work without further changes
The shorter versions of the extended fields
o are still part of the interfaces
o are still filled when sending data
o are still understood when retrieving data
If the extended field is used as part of a communicated concatenated field, this concatenated
field has still to be sent in the original field in the old short format and has to be interpreted
in the inbound case in the old short format.
The system prevents that data is created that cannot be sent via the old interface, that is the
usage of the extended fields is restricted to the old length.
Communication partners can still rely on the old known behaviour of the interfaces.
The long version of the extended field in the interfaces is filled and interpreted, too.
For example, the 18 character material number is also communicated via the 40 character
field. This means that the communication partners can already adapt their interfaces for
using the long field although only short material numbers are allowed.
When extended material number functionality is switched on, the system no longer guarantees that
all fields are filled in a way that they can be transmitted via the old fields. Therefore the following
applies:
Material numbers and other extended fields can be used with the full length (40 characters).
The shorter version of an extended field is obsolete in communication interfaces. Only the
extended field is relevant in communication interfaces.
That means:
o Only the extended version of the field is sent.
o Only the extended version of the field is accepted in the inbound case.
o If short fields are still filled this is handled as an error. This is implemented to prevent
that communication partners send truncated values.
Concatenated keys containing extended fields are sent and evaluated in the new format
Communication partner have to adjust to the new fields and data formats.
Be aware: All SAP Business Suite systems are communication partners!
2.1.1.3.6 Internal Calls of External Interfaces
As described in the previous chapters, different strategies have been chosen for internal and for
released external APIs.
If a released external API is called internally, that is locally within one system, it is always ensured
that the call can be done with new extended field length, no compatibility is required. Therefore –
and to be safe when extended material number functionality is activated – all internal calls of
external interfaces must only use the newly added extended fields.
on 1511
Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
23
This is also true if structures are used internally that are also used in released external interfaces and
that therefore have been changed in the way described. Then only the new extended field shall be
used in all internal coding, too.
2.1.1.3.7 System Settings to Activate the Extended Material Number Functionality
The default setting, both after the move to SAP S/4HANA and for new installations, is that the
extended material number functionality is NOT activated. To use a material number with 40
characters, the customer needs to activate this functionality. The following settings are required for
that:
1. Activation of the Extended Material Number Functionality
The activation is realized as client-dependent customizing table.
IMG Cross-Application Components General Application Functions Field length
Extension Activate extended fields
Alternative: Transaction FLETS (For the table maintenance the authorization group FLE
[authorization object S_TABU_DIS] is required).
2. Changing the Material Number Format
Transaction OMSL allows a customer-specific settings regarding the material number field
length. Here the settings need to be adapted to allow a field length of more than 18
characters.
Define Output Format of Material Number can be accessed via IMG ( Logistics General
Material Master Basic Settings)
Note:
If the extended material number functionality is activated in a system, it cannot be easily deactivated
as values may exist in different fields that are only allowed with extended material number.
2.1.1.3.8
The Long Material Number within the DIMP Add-On (Discrete Industries & Mill
Products)
The extension of the material number is a well-known requirement in SAP Business Suite requested
by several customers. An Add-On solution was provided several years ago as part of the industry
solution Discrete Industries & Mill Products (DIMP). The so-called DIMP LAMA-functionality is a part
of the industry solution Automotive which is one component of the Add-On DIMP (Discrete
Industries & Mill Products)1.
The industry solution DIMP is part of SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511, but the DIMP LAMAfunctionality with the long material number (LAMA) is not part of SAP S/4HANA. The reason is purely
based on the fact that the material number is natively extended to 40 characters within SAP
S/4HANA.

A migration of the DIMP LAMA functionality to the native 40 character long material number within
SAP S/4HANA is planned for a later release of SAP S/4HANA (and not available with SAP S/4HANA,
on-premise edition 1511).Additional DIMP-specific information related to the Material Field Length

Description
SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511, the field KZEFF in table MARA is not available anymore. The current
setting KZEFF is such that the field will be hidden only from the UI, but still continue to be available in the
database. However, Assign effectivity parameter values/ override change numbers (KZEFF) impacts the
parameter effectivity in BOM explosion by providing a popup to manually overwrite validity parameters.
Hence, the value of this field needs to be reset from X to space. This ensures similar behaviour in UI & in the

SD Simplified Data Models
2.1.2.1.1
Description
The following data model simplifications have been implemented for the SD area:
Elimination of Status Tables VBUK, VBUP: Status fields have been moved to the corresponding header
and item tables - VBAK and VBAP for sales documents, LIKP, and LIPS for deliveries, VBRK for billing
documents
Simplification of Document Flow table VBFA
Field length extension of SD document category: Data element VBTYP (Char1) has been replaced by
data element VBTYPL (Char4), also: elimination of field VBTYP_EXT (Char4)
Elimination of redundancies – Document Index Tables VAKPA , VAPMA, VLKPA, VLPMA, VRKPA,
VRPMA
Elimination of redundancies – Rebate Index Table VBOX: see simplification item SD Rebate
Optimization
Key benefits of the data model changes:
Reduced memory footprint (simplified Document Flow, elimination of index tables, fewer aggregates)
Increased performance of HANA queries and code pushdown (one select statement instead of two
select statements, easier join for header/items including status and business data)
Increased robustness of Rebate processing (no redundancies due to aggregates)

If you have added one or more append structures to database tables VBUK or VBUP (document status
header and item table) in the source release to store additional data for documents that are persistent
on 1511
Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
35
in tables VBAK/VBAP, LIKP/LIPS, or VBRK, and these fields are to be used in S/4HANA, you must ensure
that the appended fields are added to the respective document tables.
An append field to the document header status table VBUK must be added to one or several of the document
header tables VBAK, LIKP, or VBRK. This decision depends on which of the document types the respective field
is relevant for. An append field to document item status table VBUP must be added to one or more of the
document item tables VBAP or LIPS. Again, the choice depends on which of the document types the respective
field is relevant for.
Each append field must have the same name and the same data type as it does in the source table, and each
one has to be appended to the table-specific status include structure (DDIC structures VBAK_STATUS,
LIKP_STATUS, VBRK_STATUS, VBAP_STATUS or LIPS_STATUS). Only then will the field be considered by the
automatic data conversion from VBUK to VBAK/LIKP/VBRK and from VBUP to VBAP/LIPS, as well as by read
function modules that can be used to replace direct SELECTs to the deprecated status tables VBUK/VBUP.
Do not choose a different field name or data type. Do not append the field directly to the document table. It is
possible to have several append structures for one status include structure. When do you have to add the
append fields to the status include structures in order to have the data transferred automatically during the
SAP S/4HANA transformation?
In the development system, you have to add the fields during phase ACT_UPG, when you are prompted for
SPDD. In all other systems, you may use modification adjustment transports or customer transport integration
during the upgrade-like conversion.
The append fields must be contained in one of the custom transport requests from the development system.
The conversion pre-check class CLS4H_CHECKS_SD_DATA_MODEL delivered via Note 2224436 provides a check
for such append fields and issues a warning if such append fields are recognized in the source release. The
warning refers to the necessary action to add the append fields to the status include structures.

Data Model Changes in SD Pricing
2.1.2.2.1
Description
Business documents within the SAP Business Suite such as the sales order or the purchase order used
to store the pricing result in the database table KONV. In SAP S/4HANA, table KONV was replaced in
its data persistency role by the new table PRCD_ELEMENTS. However, KONV is and can still be used for
data declaration purposes. It still defines the structure of the pricing result within the application
coding. The content of KONV is transferred to PRCD_ELEMENTS when moving to SAP S/4HANA;
Within condition technique, the following DDIC changes and interface changes have been done:
o DDIC changes:
The concatenated variable key field VAKEY of a condition table has been removed
from all condition header tables, including KONH (pricing), NACH (output

determination), KOND3 (campaign determination), KONDN (free goods
determination), KONHM (portfolio determination), J_3GPRLHD (CEM price list
determination), and WIND (document index). The concatenated variable data field
VADAT has also been removed. This has been done to avoid data migration of these
tables as a result of the material number extension
For internal processing, long data elements VAKEY_LONG and VADAT_KO_LONG
with the length CHAR255 have been introduced
The content of the new long VAKEY and VADAT can be determined at runtime using
methods of the service class CL_COND_VAKEY_SRV
Data element QUDIW (special value source in access sequence) has been extended
from CHAR20 to CHAR50. Data element SKONDTAB (CHAR128, for archiving SD
conditions) has been replaced by SDKONTAB_LONG (CHAR512). Data element
KOND_DATA (used for general condition determination) has been extended from
CHAR255 to CHAR512.
o Interface changes:
Batch input of price condition records (program RV14BTCI):
For compatibility reasons, the field VAKEY_LONG (CHAR255) was added to
the batch input structures. If this field is filled or used by external programs,
then the content of this field is used instead of the content of the still
existing field VAKEY.
IDOC COND_A for price condition records:
For compatibility reasons, the fields MATNR_LONG (CHAR40),
UPMAT_LONG (CHAR40), BOMAT_LONG (CHAR40) and VAKEY_255 and
VADAT_255 have been added to the COND_A IDOC segments. If these fields
for the extended material number or long VAKEY/VADAT are to be filled in
addition to the still existing short fields, then the content of the long fields
has priority.
Several data elements have been extended, especially the key field ZAEHK in the KONV with the data
element DZAEHK
The maximum number of possible accesses in an access sequence (DTEL KOLNR) has been increased
from 99 to 999. Therefore, the solution described in SAP Pilot Note 1812828 (only relevant for
customers for which this note was released) is no longer necessary nor valid. Any content from this
solution will automatically be transferred to the standard tables during the upgrade process to SAP

2.1.2.2.3
Required and Recommended Action(s)
Carefully follow the instructions in SAP Notes 2188695, 2189301, and 2220005.
SAP provides an automated migration to migrate data from the old database table KONV to the new
database table PRCD_ELEMENTS. However, the document currency field WAERK of table
PRCD_ELEMENTS needs to be filled with the currency of the related document header. To reduce
downtime, it was decided to move this step to the post-processing phase. Within the automatic
migration, the currency is filled with the technical currency '2' allowing the system to correctly convert
PRCD_ELEMENT to KONV format and vice versa. However, to fill the currency consistently in
accordance with the related document, SAP recommends that you run the post-processing report
PRC_MIG_POST_PROCESSING as soon as possible.
If you have added one or more append structures to database table KONV in the source release to
store additional data, and these fields are to be used in S/4HANA, you must ensure that the appended
fields are also added to the new database tables PRCD_ELEMENTS and PRCD_ELEM_DRAFT.
Each append field must have the same name and the same data type as it does in the source table.
When do you have to add the append fields to the tables PRCD_ELEMENTS and PRCD_ELEM_DRAFT?
o In the development system, you have to add the fields to PRCD_ELEMENTS during phase
ACT_UPG, when you are prompted for SPDD.
on 1511
Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
38
o
This is necessary to ensure that the automatic data migration transfers the field content from
KONV to PRCD_ELEMENTS during the upgrade-like conversion. The append fields to table
PRCD_ELEM_DRAFT can be added later in the development system as this table is not
relevant for the automated migration.
In all other systems, you may use modification adjustment transports or customer transport
integration during the upgrade-like conversion for the appends to both tables
PRCD_ELEMENTS and PRCD_ELEM_DRAFT
The append fields must be contained in one of the custom transport requests from the
development system.
The conversion pre-check delivered via Note 2188735 provides a check for such append fields and
issues a warning if such append fields are recognized in the source release. The warning refers to
the necessary action to add the append fields to the new database tables.

Foreign Trade within SAP S/4HANA
2.1.2.3.1
Description
Currently there are two software services for international trade transactions: Foreign Trade and Global Trade
Service. Foreign Trade is part of the normal SD. GTS is an external service that can be installed on an additional
instance. With SAP S/4HANA on-premise edition 1511, the Foreign Trade functionality will be not available
because SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) is the successor for the business requirement. For Intrastat a
customer can leverage functionality within SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511. For the
functionalities Letter of Credit; Legal Control and Preference Management the functionalities based on SAP
Global Trade Services (GTS) can be used. SAP GTS can be natively integrated with S/4HANA. Additional
functionalities for Import- and Export Management are available with SAP GTS.
2.1.2.3.2
Business Process related information
The customer needs to check whether 3rd party Foreign Trade systems are in use for foreign trade processes.
Because of the replaced foreign trade functionality in S/4HANA, it is possible that 3rd party Foreign Trade
system will need adjustments by the respective 3rd party Solution/Service Provider. However, SAP GTS can be
connected to S/4HANA to run the respective foreign trade processes.

You need to carry out a migration from FI-AR-CR to FIN-FSCM-CR. This migration has several elements:
configuration data
master data
credit exposure data
credit decision data
SAP provides tools for support.
Influence on Business Processes
Generally, your business process will not change. However, you will need to use new transactions for certain
use cases, because old transactions become obsolete. Examples:
Maintenance of the credit account master data is not done through transaction FD32 anymore,
but through transaction UKM_BP
The release of credit blocked sales orders is not done through transaction VKM1, but through
transaction UKM_MY_DCDS
All IMG activities for credit management are listed under the IMG structure Financial Supply Chain
Management
Credit limit check for sales document types can only be specified as type D in SAP Credit Management,
or left empty (no credit limit check). Credit limit check types A, B and C no longer work.
Credit check on the basis of the maximum document value and credit check when changing critical
fields have been removed from SD side.

2.1.2.5.1
Description
The" ERP SD Revenue Recognition" (see SAP Help: Link) is not available within SAP S/4HANA. The newly
available "SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting" functionality should be used instead.
The new functionality supports the new revenue accounting standard as lined out in IFRS15 and adapted by
local GAAP's. The migration to the new solution is required to comply with IFRS15 even if no upgrade to
S/4HANA is done.
2.1.2.5.2
Business Process related information
SD Revenue Recognition is not available in S/4HANA. None of the "SD-Revenue Recognition" functionality will
work in S/4HANA.
For sales orders or contracts that were processed by "SD-Revenue Recognition" and are not migrated to "SAP
Revenue Accounting and Reporting", this includes:

not fully delivered and invoiced
have deferred revenue still to be realized
for which you expect follow-on activities like increase quantity, create credit memo or cancel invoice
Please note that the Release 1.1 of "SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting" does not include the full
functional capabilities of SD-Revenue Recognition. Examples of not available functionalities in SAP S/4HANA,
on-premise edition 1511 are:
Revenue Recognition Type D (billing based): Invoice cap and exchange rate per invoice are not
available.
Call off Orders: While SD-Contracts are supported call of orders are not available.
If you are using "SD-Revenue Recognition" you need to evaluate if a migration to "SAP Revenue Accounting
and Reporting" is possible for your business before you decide to Conversion to S/4HANA.
More details about the migration to "SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting" can be found in the migration

Description
Customers, who will integrate their existing CRM TPM scenario with S/4HANA, still have to use SD Rebate
Processing, even though a successor is already being provided by Settlement Management (cp. simplification

For those customers, the existing SD Rebate functionality is optimized with regard to the data base footprint.
For this purpose, from a technical standpoint, the rebate index table VBOX is not available.

Business Process related information
Please note, that also TPM customers are not able to create new rebate agreements in S/4HANA or extend
existing ones (cp. simplification item SD Rebate Processing replaced by Settlement Management). However, for
the TPM process this is not necessary at all, since for this business process rebate agreements are created by

Simplification in SD Analytics
2.1.2.7.1
Description
Simplification in SD analytics follows the overall analytics strategy in SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
(see Simplification Item Cross Topic - Analytics): Instead of prebuilt aggregates and/or redundant data for
analytical purposes, the SAP S/4HANA Analytics approach is based on ODATA and Open CDS (aka ABAPmanaged CDS = Core Data Services) directly on top of the original database. Corresponding analytics content
will be provided within SAP S/4HANA. This content will grow over time.
CDS Basic Views representing the Core Entities in SD
The SD specific business objects Sales Order, Customer Invoice, Outbound Delivery and many others on top of
the database tables VBAK, LIKP and VBRK are represented by CDS views that encompass the access of the
analytics CDS queries to the database in a uniform manner. This is achieved by offering semantical field names
and associations to connected business objects such as Customer, Material, etc.
The complete analytics content will be built on top of these core entities.
Incoming Sales Orders and Sales Volume based on CDS Views
The first delivered analytics content consists of two CDS queries "Incoming Sales Orders" and "Sales
Volume" that exemplify the capabilities of S/4HANA to report directly on the database without any prebuilt
aggregates, with the possibility to make use of all dimensions for grouping, aggregation and filtering on the fly.
New persistent fields in the database
To make effective use of the SAP S/4HANA capabilities for SD Analytics, there are new persistent fields in the
database (which, in the past, were only calculated on the fly):
Sales Order Open Delivery Quantity and Amount (on schedule line level - VBEP)
Sales Order Requested Quantity in Base Unit (on item level - VBAP)

2.1.2.10.1 Description
The business role "Internal Sales Representative" (ISR) was originally built to support the sales
representative that works in close relationship with customers and logistical and financial departments
collaborating with sales. This role became available with SAP ERP 6.0 and was enhanced in SAP ERP EhP4
and SAP ERP EhP5. Two options to run this role were possible either through the SAP Portal or by using
the Business Client (as part of SAP NetWeaver).

In S/4HANA the business role "Internal Sales Representative" (ISR) is not available within SAP S/4HANA,
on-premise edition 1511. This also includes the POWLs (Personal Object Work Lists).
Instead a set of new FIORI roles, e.g. SAP_BR_INTERNAL_SALES_REP are offered as successor. As a first
step, those roles offer a basic set of transactions that are typically needed for the day-to-day work of a
sales representative. During the next releases those roles will be further enhanced with custom-made
apps based on FIORI. More information about this new concept can be found in note 2223838.

2.1.2.11.1 Description
Web shops based on SAP Internet Sales (SAP ISA) or SAP Web Channel Experience Management (SAP
WCEM) are not available in SAP S/4HANA. From a technical point of view, those components require
TREX and IPC. Both components, however, are not available in SAP S/4HANA. From a strategic point
of view, the required web shop functionality based on S/4HANA backend will be provided by SAP
hybris e-commerce in a future release.
2.1.2.11.2 Business Process related information
Customers that use SAP Internet Sales (SAP ISA) or SAP Web Channel Experience Management (SAP

2.1.2.14 Billing Document Output Management
2.1.2.14.1 Description
With SAP S/4HANA a new Output Management approach is in place. By design, the new output management
includes cloud qualities such as extensibility enablement, multi tenancy enablement and modification free
configuration. Therefore, the complete configuration differs from the configuration that is used when output
management is based on NAST. The configuration is based on BRF+ which is accessible for Customers. In SAP
S/4HANA, the target architecture is based on Adobe Document Server and Adobe Forms only. For the form
determination rules (along with other output parameters) BRF+ functionality is used (in this sense in
combination with the message determination).
Output management based on NAST is not available for new documents in SD Billing. Billing documents that
are migrated from legacy systems and for which NAST based output has been determined, can be processed
with this technology. For all new billing documents the new output management is used. Therefore in Sales &
Distribution in the area billing / customer invoice there is a need to adapt the configuration settings related to
Output Management.
In application Billing it is recommended to use Adobe Forms but due to compatibility the form technologies
known from Business Suite (like SmartForms, SapScript) are supported as well. This is also true for the print
reports.
on 1511
Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511

In contrast to the output management based on NAST the new output management supports only the
Channels PRINT, EMAIL, XML and IDOC (for on premise). Other channels are not available by default.
Additional information to the new output management in SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511can be found
in the cross topics simplification item Output Management.
2.1.2.14.2 Business Process related information
In cases where there is not customer specific configuration for the new output management in the area of SD
Billing, it will be not possible to print billing documents or to send billing documents via e-mail or XML.

2.1.2.15 SD Rebate Processing replaced by Settlement Management
2.1.2.15.1 Description
In general, SD Rebate Processing is not available within SAP S/4HANA. The functional equivalent in SAP
S/4HANA is SD Rebate Processing is Settlement Management.
However, there is one exception. CRM TPM customers can still use SD Rebate Processing for their business
process, but have to adapt to a SAP S/4HANA optimized solution (cp. simplification item Optimization of SD
Rebate Processing for TPM Customers).
2.1.2.15.2 Business Process related information
In SAP S/4HANA, Settlement Management replaces SD Rebate Processing, which means that existing rebate
agreements can only be processed up until the end of the validity date of the agreement and must then be
closed by a final settlement. New agreements can only be created based on condition contracts. Therefore, the
corresponding transaction codes VBO1 resp. VBD for the creation of rebate agreements is not available any
more.

the first release of SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition a limited functional scope might be available compared to
SAP SRM. The coverage will grow over time. Technically, the procurement solution within SAP S/4HANA is not a
successor to the SAP SRM components. Therefore, the SAP SRM software components and SAP S/4HANA
cannot be installed on the same system. Technically, it is not a co-deployment, but in the future the
procurement solution will evolve to take over the SAP SRM functions.
2.1.4.1.2
Business Process related information
Customers with SAP SRM and SAP Business Suite on one server need to re-implement the procurement
processes on the SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition system which have been used on SAP Business Suite source

within the SAP S/4HANA stack. The functional scope of the new procurement solution available with the first

Subsequent Settlement - Vendor Rebate Arrangements
2.1.4.4.1
Description
In SAP S/4HANA, the Subsequent Settlement (MM-PUR-VM-SET) application is replaced by the new Contract
Settlement (LO-GT-CHB) application. For this reason, the functional scope of subsequent settlement has been
restricted, that is, in SAP S/4HANA, it is no longer possible to:
Create new rebate arrangements using transaction MEB1 or
Extend existing rebate arrangements using transactions MEBV / MEB7 / MEBH
Additionally, as a consequence of the material field length extension in the SAP S/4HANA landscape, the
structure of table S111 was adjusted. This can have some impact if the business volume data has to be rebuilt
in the SAP S/4HANA system.
2.1.4.4.2
Business Process related information
In SAP S/4HANA, Contract Settlement replaces Subsequent Settlement, which means that existing rebate
agreements can only be processed up until the end of the validity date of the agreement and must then be
closed by a final settlement. Afterwards new agreements can only be created based on condition contracts.

2.1.4.9 Output Management Adoption in Purchase Order
2.1.4.9.1 Description
With SAP S/4HANA a new Output Management approach is in place. By design, the new output
management includes cloud qualities such as extensibility enablement, multi tenancy enablement
and modification free configuration. Therefore, the complete configuration differs from the
configuration that is used when output management is based on NAST. The configuration is based on
BRF+ which is accessible for Customers. In SAP S/4HANA, the target architecture is based on Adobe
Document Server and Adobe Forms only. For the form determination rules (along with other output
parameters) BRF+ functionality is used (in this sense in combination with the message
determination).
on 1511
Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511

Output management based on NAST is no longer supported for new documents in purchase order.
Purchase orders which are migrated from legacy systems and for which NAST based output has been
determined, can be processed with this technology. For all new purchase orders the new output
management is used. Therefore in Procurement for purchase order there is a need to adapt the
configuration settings related to Output Management.
In purchase order it is recommended to use Adobe Forms but due to compatibility the form
technologies known from Business Suite (like SmartForms, SapScript) are supported as well. This is
also true for the print reports.
In Purchase order processing it is recommended to use Adobe Forms but due to compatibility the
form technologies known from Business Suite (like SmartForms, SapScript) are supported as well.
This is also true for the print reports.
In contrast to the output management based on NAST the new output management supports only
the Channels PRINT, EMAIL, XML (for Ariba Network Integration) and IDOC (for on premise). Other
channels are not supported by default.
Additional information to the new output management in SAP S4/HANA can be found in the general
simplification item related to Output Management (Cross Topic Area)
2.1.4.9.1 Business Process related information
Output Management for Purchase Order has to be configured. In cases where there is not customer
specific configuration for the new output management for purchase orders, it will not be possible to
print purchase orders or to send purchase orders via e-mail or XML.

2.1.4.12.3 Required and Recommended Action(s)
We recommend that you evaluate on a project basis whether you want to use Supplier and Category
Management in SAP S/4HANA or whether you want to use SAP SLC as a standalone system to leverage the full
functional scope of SAP SLC.

2.1.4.13 Supplier Distribution via MDG-S
2.1.4.13.1 Description
After the conversion of SAP ERP to S/4HANA, customers who have been using SAP SLC as a standalone system
communicating with SAP ERP have to use MDG-S (Master Data Governance for Suppliers) for supplier
distribution.
2.1.4.13.2 Business Process related information
SAP S/4HANA leverages MDG-S for supplier distribution. The MDG-S license is not part of the SAP S/4HANA
license.
2.1.4.13.3 Required and Recommended Action(s)
A project needs to be set up to implement MDG-S for supplier distribution.
2.1.4.13.4 Related SAP Notes

2.1.4.14 Authority Concept for Supplier Invoice
2.1.4.14.1 Description
The previous concept was based on checking header data against the item authorization object for all items.
The system checked for all items if a user was allowed to complete certain activities in the plants.
on 1511
Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
68
With the new concept, the behaviour of the system is more comprehensive. The new concept introduces a
header authorization object that enables the system to perform the following authorization checks:
Check header data against the header authorization object (M_RECH_BUK). This authorization object
checks the common activities a user performs for the header company code.
Check item data against the item authorization object (M_RECH_WRK). This authorization object
checks the common activities a user performs for the plant for the respective item.
2.1.4.14.2 Business Process related information
No influence on business processes expected
2.1.4.14.3 Required and Recommended Action(s)
You must edit the user roles. Users working with supplier invoices, additionally need the authorizations based
on M_RECH_BUK.
The standard roles delivered with SAP S/4HANA contain this new authorization object. If the customer roles are
derived from these standard roles, you must do the following:
Edit the values of the organizational levels for the new authorization object M_RECH_BUK.
Regenerate the profiles related to the roles using PFCG.
If you have created a role by yourself, you must manually insert the authorization object M_RECH_BUK into the
role. You can do this preliminary work once SAP S/4HANA is available.
2.1.4.15 Foreign Trade within SAP S/4HANA Procurement
2.1.4.15.1 Description
Currently there are two software services for international trade transactions: Foreign Trade and SAP Global
Trade Services (GTS). Foreign Trade is part of standard Materials Management (MM).
SAP GTS is an external service that can be installed on a separate instance. With SAP S/4HANA on-premise
edition 1511, the foreign trade solution will be not available because SAP Global Trade Services is the successor
for the business requirement.
For Intrastat a customer can leverage functionality within SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511.
Additional functions for import and export management are available with SAP GTS.
2.1.4.15.2 Business Process related information
The customer needs to check whether 3rd party foreign trade systems are in use for foreign trade processes.
Because of the replaced foreign trade functionality in S/4HANA, it is possible that 3rd party foreign trade
system will need adjustments by the respective 3rd party Solution/Service Provider. However, SAP GTS can be
connected to S/4HANA to run the respective foreign trade processes.

In SAP S/4HANA, the following differences to the process of automatic document adjustment apply:
1.
2.
The direct entry function is activated per default for all document categories to simplify the creation of
worklist entries.
The field length of the Material Number data element (MATNR) is 40 characters. As a consequence,
the field length of data element 'VAKEY' is enhanced and the database tables WIND and S111 have
also been adjusted.

Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
75
2.1.4.17.2 Business Process related information
1.
In SAP S/4HANA, the indicator for direct entry is set now automatically during the update process of
conditions. This means that:
When a user saves a condition change - including the creation of a new condition - an entry is made in
the worklist (table WIND) for all document categories with valid Customizing settings.
For worklist creation, the transaction MEI4 can no longer be used.
For more information, please see SAP Note 519685 (Conversion of the procedure for Worklist creation).
Note also that change pointers do not have to be updated for message type CONDBI if direct entries are
activated. With the conversion to the 'direct entry' procedure, you can deactivate the update of change
pointers if you do not use it for other purposes
2. Rebuilding business data volume (tables WIND and S111)
SAP recommends that you process all open worklist entries completely before conversion to SAP
S/4HANA. In this case, no activities for automatic document adjustment are required after the system
conversion process
If the worklist cannot be completed in the SAP ERP system, you can proceed with the procedure
described in section 'Required and Recommended Actions on Start Release.

Simplification of DB Key Fields and tables structures (WBRL,WBRRE, WBRF, WBRFN and WBRP)
Replacement of concatenated fields by corresponding new fields in mentioned DB tables (Details
mentioned notes below)
Replaced fields are moved to the dynamical part of the communication structures to avoid runtime
errors and to ensure the same system behaviour as before
All redundant transaction and reports or business processes where replaces by one unified set of
transaction, reports and business processes
2.1.5.1.2
Business Process related information
The application simplification offers now for each business process step one single transaction instead of many.
Redundant functionalities were combined into one transaction or business process. This will help to streamline
each single business step and to reduce unnecessary complexity by eliminating of similar business processes
steps.
The Remuneration Request List is not available within SAP S/4HANA. The functional equivalent in SAP S/4HANA
is the Extended Remuneration List offers the same business capability as well. This means that the customizing
of the Extended Remuneration List has to be set up to ensure that the same documents are created. The
replacement of the Remuneration List by the extended one can be done before or after the system conversion
to SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511. Details about the system configuration kind be found in the note:

Required and Recommended Action(s)
Pre-Check is performed for the component LO-AB. Custom code adoption on the new DB-Design can be
checked in the start release to identify the code places which have to adjust to the new DB-Structures. Batch or
online processes which needed the obsolete transactions or reports have to be adjusted so that the new
transactions and reports are used instead the obsolete once. Mostly all replaced reports and transaction where
part of the solution portfolio of SAP_APPL and EA-RETAIL of the Business Suite To simplify the Conversion to
S/4 it is recommended to adjust the business process in the start release by a step by step replacement of the
obsolete transactions by the once which will be part of S/4. You have to activate the software component EARETAIL to use the successor reports or transactions. You can also adopt the business processes in S/4 without
to change the processes in the current release.

Logistics – ATP
2.1.6.1
New advanced ATP in SAP S/4HANA – Table VBBS
2.1.6.1.1
Description
The database table VBBS contained pre-aggregated sales requirements. The requested (OMENG) and
confirmed (VMENG) quantities have been aggregated on a daily basis. With the new HANA ATP we do not need
pre-aggregation anymore and therefore this table is obsolete.
Instead of the VBBS we use the VBBE where each ATP-relevant requirement is explicitly stored. The old ERPATP-check coding is redirected to use VBBE, too.
2.1.6.1.2 Business Process related information
No influence on business processes expected.
The customizing where the VBBS could be activated in the business suite is deactivated in SAP
S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511. New entries will automatically "choose" to use VBBE instead of
VBBS.
2.1.6.1.3
Required and Recommended Action(s)
There are two checks to be carried out before the upgrade to make sure if the VBBS is used:
1.
Start transaction "SE16" and display the entries in table "VBBS". If there are any entries the XPRA has
to run. If there are no entries the next step has to be executed:
Start transaction "OVZ2": And check the entries for the fields "SUMAU" and "SUMLF". If there is any
entry other than "A: Single records", the XPRA needs to be executed.
2.
Just create a db-view on table VBBE and use that view instead of the table VBBS in custom code.

2.1.10 Logistics Material Management Inventory Management (MM-IM)
2.1.10.1 Data model in inventory management (MM-IM)
2.1.10.1.1 Description
The SAP ERP 6.0 stock inventory management data model consists of the two document tables MKPF for
document header information and MSEG for document item data. Additionally there were aggregated actual
stock quantity data stored in several tables. Some of these tables do also store material master data attributes
like the tables MARC, MARD and MCHB. Such tables with material master data attributes as well as actual stock
quantities will be named as hybrid tables in the following. In contrast there are also tables like MSSA containing
on 1511
Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
95
only aggregated actual stock quantities for sales order stock. Such tables will be called in the following as
replaced aggregation tables.
With S/4HANA this data model has been changed significantly. The new de-normalized table MATDOC has
been introduced which contains the former header and item data of a material document as well as a lot of
further attributes. Material document data will be stored in MATDOC only and not anymore in MKPF and
MSEG. Additionally the aggregated actual stock quantities will not be persisted anymore in the hybrid
or replaced aggregation tables. Instead, actual stock quantity data will be calculated on-the-fly from the new
material document table MATDOC for which some of those additional special fields are used. Hence, with the
new MM-IM data model the system will work on data base level in an INSERT only mode without DB locks.
Nevertheless, for stock decreasing processes there will be still ABAP locks to ensure stock consistency. A
further advantage of the new MM-IM data model is the capability of simple and fast reporting because the
most information is in one place: MATDOC.
All below mentioned tables of the SAP ERP 6.0 world do still exist in S/4HANA as DDIC definition as well as data
base object and the hybrid tables will still be used to store the material master data attributes. For
compatibility reasons there are Core Data Service (CDS) Views assigned as proxy objects to all those tables
ensuring that each read access to one of the mentioned tables below still returns the data as before in SAP ERP
6.0. The CDS Views do the on-the-fly aggregation of actual stock quantities from the new MM-IM data model
and join the master data attributes from the material master data table. Hence all customer coding will work as
before because each read access to one of the tables will get redirected in the database interface layer of
NetWeaver to the assigned CDS view.

Note: The DIMP hybrid tables have now new pure DIMP related material master data tables.
2.1.10.1.2 Business Process related information
Valuation of special stock is derived from customizing as well as the material master and stored in the
predecessor of the material document. The valuation is also stored in the material document and was stored in
SAP ERP 6.0 in the aggregate tables MSSA, MSSQ and MSSL respectively too. Hence in SAP ERP 6.0 there was
just one possible valuation for special stock at order on hand, project stock and special stock with vendor. With
the new MM-IM data model various valuations would be possible but this is not available across the whole
process chain. Therefore right now a change of the valuation after an initial posting on special stock will not be
supported.
The reports MBCKMSSAS, MBMSSACOS, MBMSSAPOS, MBMSSQCOS, MBMSSQRS cannot be used to change
the valuation value in field KZBWS for special stock at order on hand or project stock. The
transaction /SAPNEA/JSCR21 cannot be used to change the valuation value in field XOBEW for special stock
with vendor.
2.1.10.1.3 Required and Recommended Action(s)
The above mentioned Conversion Pre-Checks on the start release to identify the start situation should be
performed. Before the system conversion to Sap S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 the required DDIC

information
If the attributes in the appends on those tables do have a master data or

table MATDOC and the assigned proxy views can be made compatible via
extension views. See SAP NetWeaver 7.4 documentation.
Customer Appends on the hybrid and replaced aggregation tables
Fields containing material master data attributes
If the append is not at the end of the hybrid table then the append should be
moved to the end if possible and then no further action is required because the
delivered DDL sources for the proxy views provide the $EXTENSION feature. For
replaced aggregation tables appends with master data attributes are not
available. If such appends are really required in the customer processes then

the approach described in the next chapter maybe feasible. In the core
functionality of material document processing there will be no write process on
these tables. Thus update of the fields in appends require maybe some
additional customer coding.
Fields representing a customer defined stock type or quantity/value to be
aggregated. If own stock types or a dimension which needs to be aggregated
have been introduced by the customer then the view stack of the CDS view
assigned to the table with the additional stock type needs to be modified. Right
now, there is no technology support for modification free enhancement. If the
stock type has not been introduced by new entries or enhancements in the
tables T156x - which controls in the core functionality the mapping between a
posting and a stock type - then the process logic needs to be adapted.
Code Optimization (optional/recommended)
Technically it is still possible to do DB write operations on the tables MKPF,
MSEG as well as the fields representing actual stock quantities in the hybrid
and replaced aggregation tables. But such write operations are without any
effect! Therefore write operations on MKPF, MSEG as well as the fields
representing actual stock quantities in the hybrid and replaced aggregation
tables shall be removed/adjusted from/in customer coding.
DB read operations on the hybrid and replaced aggregation tables have a
performance decrease. In general, it shall be avoided to read any stock
quantities when only master data is required. Therefore it is recommended to
adjust the customer coding in the following way:
If material master data as well as actual stock quantity data are
required then the SELECT....<table> should be replaced by using a data
access method in class CL_NSDM_SELECT_<table>. These classes
provide access methods for single as well as array read operations.
If material master data are required then the SELECT....<table> should
be replaced by SELECT ....V_<table>_MD where V_<table>_MD is one
of the above mentioned views for master data access. Alternatively
corresponding material master data read methods in the class
CL_NSDM_SELECT_<table> can be used. Also the data type
declarations should be adjusted from TYPE...<table> to
TYPE...V_<table>_MD. For the DIMP aggregate tables the new pure
master data tables <table>_MD should be used.
If actual stock quantity data are required then the SELECT....<table>
should be replaced by SELECT ....NSDM_V_<table>_DIFF where
NSDM_V_<table>_DIFF is one of the views in the view stack of the
above mentioned proxy view. Also the data type declarations should
be adjusted from TYPE...<table> to TYPE...NSDM_V_<table>_DIFF.
For performance critical coding parts these adjustments are strongly
recommended. For non-critical parts it is optional short term but
recommended on long term.

2.1.10.3 Material Ledger Obligatory for Material Valuation
2.1.10.3.1 Description
This simplification makes it obligatory to use the Material Ledger in all SAP S/4HANA systems. When a system is
converted to SAP S/4HANA the Material Ledger will be activated if not active already.
Latest trends in material management aim for improved and more flexible valuation methods in multiple
currencies and parallel accounting standards while simultaneously reducing required system resources and
improving scalability of the business processes. Since the data model of the Material Ledger (ML) module
supports these business requirements, it was chosen as the basis for material inventory valuation in the new
solution SAP S/4HANA.
It is very important to distinguish between Material Ledger, in its role as an inventory subledger in Accounting,
and business feature Actual Costing. Material Ledger, as the inventory subledger, valuates material inventories
in multiple currencies and GAAPs in parallel. In addition Material Ledger is a base prerequisite for the use of
Actual Costing. With Actual Costing you can valuate your material inventories, work in process and cost of
goods sold with weighted average unit costs that are being calculated after the fact by evaluating business
on 1511
Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
100
transactions of one or several posting periods. Also other features, e.g. actual cost component split, are
provided by Actual Costing.
Even though Material Ledger is become obligatorily active, Actual Costing is not. Activation of Actual Costing is
still optional.
Before S/4HANA, the inventory valuation tables xBEW(H) - tables: EBEW, EBEWH, MBEW, MBEWH, OBEW,
OBEWH, QBEW, QBEWH - contain transactional as well as master data attributes.
With S/4HANA, the inventory valuation tables do still exist as DDIC definition as well as database object.
However, they will only be used to store material master data attributes. The transactional fields LBKUM,
SALK3 and SALKV will be retrieved from the Material Ledger. Hence, those fields are not updated anymore in
the original xBEWH(H) tables. As a consequence, the above mentioned tables need to be updated less often,
which leads to a higher throughput due to less database locks.
For compatibility reasons there are Core Data Service (CDS) Views assigned as proxy objects to all those tables
ensuring that each read access to one of the mentioned tables still returns the data as before. The CDS views
consist of database joins in order to retrieve both master data from the original xBEW(H) table and
transactional data from Material Ledger tables.
Hence all customer coding, reading data from those tables, will work as before because each read access to
one of the tables will get redirected in the database interface layer of NetWeaver to the assigned CDS view.
Write accesses to those tables have to be adjusted, if transactional fields are affected.
The following table gives an overview of the new relevant database objects in the S/4HANA Inventory

2.1.10.4 Material Valuation - Statistical moving average price
2.1.10.4.1 Description
One major innovation in SAP S/4HANA in the area of MM is the significant increase of transactional data
throughput for high volume transactions, especially goods movements. To enable this from a technical point of
view, application logic should avoid exclusive locking on the application layer.
For goods movements this can be achieved with few exceptions for materials with price control "Standard",
where the relation between unit costs for material inventory (standard price) on one hand, and inventory
quantity and inventory value is kept constant during goods movements. To calculate a consistent moving
average valuation, the system is still forced to use exclusive locks. Therefore not the same increase of
transactional data throughput can be achieved for materials with price control "Moving Average" in
comparison to materials with price control “Standard”.
In classic SAP Business Suite the system calculates for materials with price control "Standard", also a moving
average valuation in parallel, the so called "statistical" moving average price. Obviously this statistical valuation
requires also exclusive locking. As said, exclusive locking is limiting the transactional data throughput, and
therefore shall be avoided in SAP S/4HANA. In consequence, this parallel statistical moving average valuation is
not available in SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511.
The deactivation of the statistical moving average is not mandatory in SAP S/4HANA, but recommended to
achieve a significant increase of transactional data throughput for goods movements. It is important to note
that the deactivation is not reversible. The deactivation of the statistical moving average is the consequence of
on 1511
Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
102
a new lock behaviour for materials with price control "Standard". This new lock behaviour does not use
exclusive locks anymore. The activation of the new lock behaviour leads to the deactivation of the statistical
moving average.
As a result, end users, creating material master data in SAP S/4HANA, have to select one of the following
material valuation methods for a material:
Price control "Standard" that offers a fixed price inventory valuation, no parallel "statistical" moving
average valuation. Only dedicated business transactions can change unit costs (e.g. MR21). But a
significantly increased transactional data throughput for goods movements can be achieved.
Price control "Moving Average" with which unit costs of material inventory might be changed by any
business transaction, but transactional data throughput is still limited by the exclusive locking.
In table MBEW, EBEW, OBEW, QBEW the attributes SALKV and VERPR are not updated anymore for materials
with price control “Standard”. The same is valid for the history tables MBEWH, EBEWH, OBEWH and QBEWH.
In table CKMLCR the attributes PVPRS and SALKV are not updated anymore for materials with price control
“Standard”.
In table MLCR the attributes SALKV, SALKV_OLD and PVPRS_OLD are not updated anymore for materials with
price control “Standard”.
If Actual Costing is used, the above mentioned fields will still be updated with the periodic unit price during the
Actual Costing Closing Steps.
No update of the mentioned fields entails that the statistical moving average price and the value based on the
statistical moving average price are not available anymore in the user interface. This concerns the following
transaction codes: MM01, MM02, MM03, CKM3 and MR21.
2.1.10.4.2 Business Process related information
The statistical moving average price is as the name already implies purely statistical and does not have an
impact on actual financials-relevant valuation.
Without the statistical moving average price in few scenarios an alternative way of valuation needs to be used.
This concerns for instance:
Balance Sheet Valuation: Selection variants must be checked and adapted.
Product Cost Planning: Valuation variants must be checked and adapted.
on 1511
Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
103
2.1.10.4.3 Required and Recommended Action(s)
As described above custom code must be checked and adapted if necessary. To identify such locations, it is
required to make use of the where-used functionality of transaction SE11 and considering other techniques like
transaction CODE_SCANNER to find locations which SE11 cannot handle – like dynamic programming or native
SQL statements.
Finally the report SAPRCKM_NO_EXCLUSIVELY_LOCKING can be used to deactivate the statistical moving
average price. This can be done for converted systems running the S/4HANA on-premise edition. In the
S/4HANA cloud edition or new installs of the SAP S/4HANA on-premise edition the statistical moving average
price is disabled by default.
2.1.10.4.4 Related SAP Notes
Custom
Code related If within custom code the fields mentioned in chapter “Description” are
evaluated for materials with price control “Standard”, then this usage
information
should be removed. One possible reaction to this change could be to use
instead of the V-Price (VERPR) either the S-Price (STPRS) or the V-Price
(VERPR) depending on the configured price control for the respective
material.

2.1.11.16 BOM, Routing, Production Version
2.1.11.16.1Description
With SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511, the functional relation between Bill of Material (BOM), Routing
and Production Version has changed.
The Customizing for date validity is no longer considered for BOM explosion. Instead, only BOMs with valid
production version are considered during BOM explosion. Therefore, it is now mandatory for Manufacturing
BOMs to maintain the product version for correct BOM explosion. For all BOMs in the system, it is
recommended to maintain product versions using the report Product Version Migration for BOM (transaction
code CS_BOM_PRODVER_MIGRATION).
Maintaining product version enables to combine the BOM and Routing entities which helps in streamlining the
release/ revision process in future.
The customizing that determines the items valid for BOM explosion now has the default value ‘2’ (Version with
latest valid-from date). This customizing is available in Define Modification Parameters under Production ->
Basic Data -> Bill of Material -> Control Data for Bills of Material.
2.1.11.16.2Business Process related information
BOM Explosion for Manufacturing BOM will depend on Production Versions only.
Manufacturing BOM determination can only happen via production version.

2.1.12 Logistics – PP
2.1.12.1 PP-MRP - Subcontracting
2.1.12.1.1 Description
Context
SAP ERP had three different ways of planning parts to be provided to a subcontractor:
Planning subcontracting demand together with internal demand in the make-to-stock planning section
(3.0-logic)
Separating subcontracting demand and stock into single subcontracting planning sections (one section
per subcontractor) and planning uncovered subcontracting demand together with internal demand in
the make-to-stock planning section (4.0-logic)
Planning separately the demand of every subcontractor by means of subcontracting MRP areas
(available from SAP ERP release 4.5)
Description
on 1511
Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
124
In SAP S/4HANA on-premise edition 1511, the 4.0 logic was removed while the 4.5 logic was simplified. The SAP
S/4HANA MRP uses default planning parameters if MRP-area-specific material master records do not exist. You
only have to create an MRP area for every subcontractor. Of course, it is still possible to create MRP
area/supplier-specific material master data if required.
Reason
This simplification has the following advantages:
Separate planning of every subcontractor is possible without having to create an MRP-area-specific
material master record.
The planning logic is simplified. There are two rather than three different ways to plan parts to be
provided to a subcontractor.
2.1.12.1.2 Business Process related information
The default way of planning parts to be provided to subcontractors is based on MRP areas. A subcontracting
MRP area should be created for every subcontractor. It is not required to create an MRP-area-specific material
master record for every part to be provided to the subcontractor, but of course it is possible if you want to
overrule the default planning parameters.
2.1.12.1.3 Required and Recommended Action(s)
If you have several subcontractors requiring the same component materials and if you do not yet use MRP
areas to plan the required components then proceed as follows:
Create MRP areas for every subcontractor (can be done before or after upgrade)
Run regenerative MRP after the upgrade

2.1.12.2 Storage Location MRP
2.1.12.2.1 Description
Context
In SAP ERP, storage locations can be excluded from MRP planning or they can be planned separately from other
storage locations. In the latter case a reorder point procedure with maximum lot size is used which triggers
transport reservations to fill up the storage location.
MRP areas cover the very same business requirements. Materials with MRP-area-specific MRP type 'ND' (no
MRP) can be used instead of materials with a storage location excluded from MRP. Materials with MRP-areaspecific MRP type 'VB' (reorder point planning) can be used instead of materials with separately planned
storage locations. The storage location functionality is a subset of the MRP areas capabilities.
on 1511
Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
125
Description of Simplification
The S/4HANA MRP only plans on plant and MRP area level. Planning on storage location level is not available in
SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511.
Reason
The reason for this change are:
The MRP logic is simplified. There is only one solution for planning on storage location level
The MRP area logic is more advanced than the logic for planning on storage location level. All MRP
types and lot-sizing procedures are possible on MRP area level
The system creates planning file entries on plant and MRP area level. If planning is required on MRP
area level, then the system only plans the affected MRP area. The system does not create planning file
entries on storage location level and it did not do so in SAP ERP. The SAP ERP MRP had to plan all
separately planned storage locations and the plant level every time inventory or an expected receipt
was changed in a single separately planned storage location. Planning on MRP area level is more
efficient
2.1.12.2.2 Business Process related information
Storage Location MRP is not available in SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511. Planning on MRP area level
has to be used instead.
2.1.12.2.3 Required and Recommended Action(s)
Conversion Pre-Checks raise an error if storage location MRP is used in the source ERP system. Run report
MRP_AREA_STORAGE_LOC_MIGRATION if the pre-checks detect that storage location MRP is used. The report

The graphical planning table (also known as graphical planning board or Gantt chart) can be used for capacity
load levelling and sequence planning. The graphical planning table is still available in SAP S/4HANA, but not
considered as the target architecture. Currently there is no functional equivalent available within SAP

2.1.12.4.2 Business Process related information
The future graphical planning table implementation will support the basic features like changing operation start

The shop floor information system is part of the logistics information system LIS 10. The LIS can be used to
compare planned vs. actual parameters like lead time, execution time, queue times, scrap, and so on. The
classic ERP implementation of the LIS has some specifics:
LIS operates on redundant data. Every business transaction not only updates the business documents,
but also pre-aggregated data in LIS. Performance suffers, locking conflicts might occur, and memory is
wasted
LIS operates on pre-aggregated data. It is not possible to drill down into the individual business
documents. Multi-dimensional reporting (aka Slicing and dicing) is only possible for dimensions
provided in the pre-aggregated data
LIS uses an old UI technology making multi-dimensional reporting clumsy
LIS only supports material numbers with up to 30 characters
Future production analytics will be based on HANA, CDS views aggregating transactional data dynamically, and
powerful analytical UIs for multi-dimensional reporting. With this it will be possible to replace the current LIS.
You will be able to use classic LIS and the future production analytics in parallel for some time as long as you do
not switch off the update of the LIS tables11. Once future production analytics supports all your analytics
requirements, you can switch off the update of the LIS tables. Once you have switched off updating LIS tables,
you will notice the following improvements:
Improved performance of many transactions (fewer tables to update, fewer locking conflicts)

Sales & Operations Planning (SOP) is a forecasting and planning tool for setting targets for sales and production
based on historical, current, or estimated data. SOP is used for long-term strategic planning, not short-term
tactical planning. Resource requirements can be computed to determine work center load and utilization. SOP
is often performed on aggregated levels such as product groups and work-center hierarchies. Sales &
Operations Planning includes standard SOP and flexible planning. Standard SOP comes preconfigured with the
system. Flexible planning offers options for customized configuration.
Sales & Operations Planning (SOP) will be replaced by Integrated Business Planning IBP12. Integrated Business
Planning supports all SOP features plus advanced statistical forecasting, multi-level supply planning, an

2.1.12.7 Simplified Sourcing
2.1.12.7.1 Description
Context
MRP determines material shortages, then determines lot sizes, and then sources of supply. Lot sizing can
decide to cover several material shortages with just one material receipt. After lot sizing, the planned material
receipts with the requirement date and quantity are known. Subsequently sourcing determines whether the
required quantity is manufactured or purchased and from which supplier the material is purchased.
Description of Simplification
The Basic idea of this simplification is a reduced set possible sources of supply. SAP S/4HANA supports the
following types of sources of supply:
Production versions
Delivery schedules
Purchasing contracts
Purchasing info records
Sources of supply have a common set of attributes like a temporal validity interval and a quantitative validity
interval.
Sourcing selects valid sources of supply with the following conditions:
The source of supply is a production version
o and the procurement type of the material is either 'E' (in-house production) or 'X' (Both
procurement types)
o and the production version is neither "Locked for any usage" nor "Locked for automatic
sourcing"
o and the planned material receipt's quantity is inside the quantity range of the production
version
o and the planned material receipt's delivery date is in the validity period of the production
version
The source of supply is a purchasing info record
o and the procurement type is 'F' (external procurement)
o and the purchasing info record is flagged for "Relevant for automatic sourcing"
o and the planned material receipt's quantity is inside the quantity range of the purchasing info
record
o and the planned material receipt's delivery date is in the validity period of the purchasing info
record
The source of supply is a delivery schedule and the procurement type is 'F' (external procurement)
The source of supply is a purchasing contract and the procurement type is 'F' (external procurement)
Quota arrangements can be used to prioritize sources of supply in case several sources of supply are valid
simultaneously. If sourcing determines several valid sources of supply for the same material, plant, quantity,
and date, but does not find any quota arrangements, then it prefers production versions over delivery
schedules, delivery schedules over purchasing contracts, and purchasing contracts over purchasing info
records. If sourcing selects a production version as source of supply, then the material receipt is going to be a
on 1511
Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
131
planned order. If sourcing selects a purchasing info record, then the planned material receipt is going to be a
purchase requisition.
The SAP S/4HANA sourcing logic differs from the classic business suite sourcing logic in the following aspects:
Business Suite Logic
Material master attribute
"Selection Method" MARCALTSL determines if MRP finds
a BOM via the BOM's validity
period, the BOM's quantity
range, or via production
version
The order type attribute
"Routing selection" T399XARBPA determines how a
routing is determined during
production order creation.
The attribute can be defined
in customizing transaction
OPL8.
The production version has a
locking indicator with values
'Locked' and 'Not locked'.
MRP only selects production
versions that are not locked.
Phantom assemblies are
exploded with the
method defined in the
phantom assembly's material
master attribute MARCALTSL.
Subcontracting purchase
requisitions are exploded with
the method defined in the
material master attribute
MARC-ALTSL
MRP only selects purchasing
info records if a source list
SAP S/4HANA Logic
Production versions are the only source of
supply for in-house production. The material
master attribute MARC-ALTSL no longer exists.
Sourcing selects material BOMs only if a
suitable production version exists. Sourcing
does not need production versions to
find make-to-order and make-to-project bills of
material, but production versions are required
to select routings also if make-to-order or
make-to-project BOMs are used.
Production versions are the only source of
supply for in-house production. A production
version references a routing. This routing is
used to create production orders
Reason
Simplification of the sourcing logic;
symmetry of different sources of
supply; only production versions are
integrated into quota
arrangements; only production
versions make sure BOM and
routing fit together
MRP only selects production versions that are
neither 'Locked for any usage' nor "Locked for
automatic sourcing."
The new status "Locked for
automatic sourcing" corresponds to
the "Relevant for automatic
sourcing" indicator on the
purchasing info record (Symmetry);
you can use one production version
(maybe with an artificial routing) as
the default for new planned orders
and manually dispatch these
planned orders to proper
lines/work centers
Simplified sourcing logic and the
possibility to synchronize BOM
explosion on several BOM levels.
Simplification of the sourcing logic
Production versions are the only source of
supply for phantom assemblies. If a phantom
assembly production version exists with the
same ID as the production version exploded on
finished material level, then the phantom BOM
explosion explodes the BOM defined in the
production version with the same production
version ID. If no such production version exists,
then the system searches for a phantom
assembly production version using the
explosion date and the quantity.
Production versions are the only source of
supply for subcontracting. If you use
subcontracting purchasing info records to
define the supplier, you should define the
production version in the purchasing info
record. In all other cases, the system selects the
material's production versions, also for
subcontracting
Purchasing info records are a source of supply
in their own right. MRP selects purchasing info
Simplified sourcing logic and the
possibility to define a supplierspecific production version.
Different suppliers may need
different subcontracting
components from the client while
procuring the other parts from
elsewhere
Simplification of the sourcing logic:
It is not required to create a source

entry exists that references
the supplier referenced in the
info record
MRP uses source lists to
determine vendors, contracts,
or delivery schedules
records if the "relevant for automatic sourcing"
indicator is set in the purchasing info record
list entry on top of the purchasing
info record
Source lists are not yet considered in the
S/4HANA on-premise edition 1511. Use quota
arrangements as a workaround
MRP only considers quota
arrangements if the material
master attribute MARCUSEQU is set
MRP considers quota arrangements always. It is
not required to switch it on in the material
master
It is intended to use source lists to
provide additional information for
sources of supply. For example, the
source list may be used to block a
source of supply or MRP-enable it
only for a limited period of time.
In the early days of MRP, reading
and considering quota
arrangements was expensive.
MARC-USEQU was a performance
measure, with which you could
switch off quota arrangements in
MRP to improve performance. MRP
in HANA does not suffer much from
considering quota arrangements.
Reason
Simplified sourcing in SAP S/4HANA is simpler than sourcing in the classic SAP ERP for the following reasons:
The different sources of supply are pretty symmetrical. Sources of supply have a temporal validity, a
quantitative validity, a deletion indicator, and a "relevant for automatic sourcing" indicator. The
sourcing logic can treat the different sources of supply in a uniform way
Quota arrangements can be used to prioritize any of the possible sources of supply
Purchasing info records are proper sources of supply. The SAP S/4HANA MRP can select purchasing
info records without source list entries. It is sufficient to define the supplier information of a
material in the purchasing info record.
Production versions make sure BOM and routing fit together
Production versions have always been the only in-house production source of supply integrated with
APO PP/DS. With production versions as the only in-house production source of supply, ERP sourcing
and PP/DS sourcing become more similar.
Purchasing info records, contracts, and delivery schedules have always been the external procurement
sources of supply integrated with APO. With purchasing info records being proper sources of supply,
ERP sourcing and PP/DS sourcing become more similar
A unified source of supply model is the basis for future innovations in sourcing
2.1.12.7.2 Business Process related information
If you want a BOM or routing to be considered by MRP, you have to create a production version.
If you want MRP to source a purchase requisition from a certain supplier, you no longer have to define a source
list entry. It is sufficient to set the indicator "relevant for automatic sourcing" in the purchasing info record.

the SAP ERP MRP would find a BOM but not the SAP S/4HANA MRP. The SAP S/4HANA
MRP only finds BOMs with valid production versions. SAP ERP MRP also finds BOMs with
valid temporal or quantitative validity intervals if the BOM selection method specifies
BOM selection using date or quantity. The pre-check raises a warning if a material has a
BOM that is valid in the future and if the BOM selection method MARC-ALTSL is not yet
specifying production versions as source of supply. If the pre-check detects such issues,
proceed as described in section "Required and Recommended Actions on Start Release".
The Conversion Pre-check is not mandatory and it only raises a warning, so you do not
have to create production versions for dead materials, for materials for which you do not
expect the need to produce the material. It is however recommended to perform the precheck and create production versions for all materials likely to be manufactured in future.

2.1.12.10.1Description
Sequence planning determines the production sequence of planned orders on assembly lines operating at a
constant rate or takt. It is part of repetitive manufacturing and only suitable for repetitive manufacturing
planned orders.
SAP recommends to perform sequencing planning for assembly lines with PPDS. Sequencing in PPDS is superior
to sequencing in ERP for the following reasons:
PPDS sequencing in the short term horizon works together with PPDS model-mix planning for the midterm horizon
You can define restrictions like "Minimum distance restrictions between two units with a certain
characteristic" or "At most x units per day with a certain characteristic"
PPDS optimizers can compute production sequences that minimize violations of restrictions
The classic sequence planning transactions are still available but will be replaced in a future S/4HANA release

2.1.12.11 MRP in HANA
2.1.12.11.1Description
Production planners have to make sure material is available when needed. MRP assists production planners
with this task. The MRP run determines expected material shortages and creates planned orders, purchase
requisitions, or delivery schedule lines to cover the expected material shortages. A shortage exists for a
material if the material is subject to demand-driven planning and if the total quantity of material requirements
(sales orders, stock transfer requirements, production requirements, and forecast requirements) up to a
certain point in time exceeds the total quantity of material receipts (inventory, production orders, purchase
orders, delivery schedule lines, firmed planned orders, and firmed purchase requisitions).
SAP S/4HANA features MRP Live; an MRP run optimized for SAP HANA. MRP Live reads material receipts and
requirements, calculates shortages, and creates planned orders and purchase requisitions all in one database
procedure. This minimizes the volume of data that has to be copied from the database server to the application
server and back, which considerably improves performance. MRP Live has some additional advantages
including the following, for example:
The definition of the planning scope is more flexible. MRP Live allows you to plan a set of materials
with all components, materials for which a certain production planner is responsible, or one material
across all plants.
If a material is transferred from one plant to another then the stock-transfer requirement is not
known in the supplying plant until after the material has been planned in the receiving plant. MRP Live
determines the sequence in which materials have to be planned across several plants.
MRP Live is a prerequisite for the future production planning and detailed scheduling PP/DS solution
in SAP S/4HANA.
Classic MRP is still available as an interim solution15, which at the moment has to be used in the following
cases:
Capacity requirements shall be created by MRP (in a future release, MRP Live will also be able to
create capacity requirements).

2.1.12.11.2Business Process related information
MRP live differs from classic MRP in the following aspects:
MRP live does not write MRP lists.
Multi-level, make-to-order planning (transaction MD50) is not optimized for HANA.
Individual project planning (transaction MD51) is not optimized for HANA.
The creation indicator for purchase requisitions is not available in MRP Live. MRP Live always creates
purchase requisitions if the material is procured externally.
The creation indicator for delivery schedule lines is not available in MRP Live. MRP Live always creates
delivery schedule lines if a valid delivery schedule exists.
MRP Lists
MRP lists were intended for checking the MRP result. MRP lists were used to find materials with issues
quickly. MRP lists are snapshots of the material supply and demand situation at the time of the last MRP run.
The snapshot is often outdated. With HANA, stock/requirements lists can be read with high speed. The MRP
apps determine materials with issues in real-time. In SAP S/4HANA there is no need for outdated MRP lists.
Planning of individual make-to-order sales orders and projects
Multi-level, make-to-order planning was a performance measure only. Rather than planning all planning
segments, the system only planned a selected planning segment. Thanks to the speed of HANA, it is no longer
required to support this performance measure. This also makes the MRP run simpler.
Creation indicators
Classic MRP has a complicated set of rules for instructing the MRP run to create either purchase requisitions or
planned orders for externally procured materials. A similar set of rules instructs classic MRP to create delivery
schedule lines, purchase requisitions, or planned orders for externally procured materials with valid delivery
schedules. Creation indicators are defined in MRP groups, on the initial screen of the MRP run, and default
values are defined in the code. This is a complex logic with very limited business value. Planned orders for
external procurement have to be converted into purchase requisitions eventually. Creating planned orders first
and converting them into purchase requisitions is an unnecessary process step.
Creation indicators were originally intended to separate the responsibilities of production planners and
purchasers. Production planners were responsible for planned orders and purchasers were responsible for
purchase requisitions. Today the roles of production planners and purchasers have changed. Purchasers very
often focus on negotiating contracts with suppliers while the operative creation of purchase requisitions and
purchase order handling is left to material planners and MRP.
Therefore MRP live always creates delivery schedule lines for externally procured material with valid delivery
schedules and it creates purchase requisitions for all other externally procured material.
The sourcing BAdi PPH_MRP_SOURCING_BADI => SOS_DET_ADJUST allows you to change the MRP element
type of a material receipt to be created by MRP. Implement this BAdi if you want MRP live to create planned
orders rather than purchase requisitions for externally procured materials.

than the classic MRP at any time. Therefore, there is no need to become active on the start release. Before you
start using MRP live, check the following:
Re-implement BAdI implementations and extensions of the classic MRP as AMDP BAdIs.
Make yourself familiar with the MRP apps and check whether they can be used as a successor to MRP
lists if you used MRP lists in the past.

2.1.12.12 Planning File
2.1.12.12.1Description
Context
MRP calculations are complex and therefore an MRP run can be lengthy. An important means to
improve MRP performance is net change planning. An MRP running in net change planning mode
only plans materials that have experienced a relevant change since the previous MRP run. A material
has to be planned by the next MRP if the material was received or issued, if a material requirement
like, for example, a sales order was changed, or if master data like the BOM or the product master
was changed. The planning file stores the materials that have to be planned by the next MRP.
Description
The new planning file does not have columns for low level code and record type. This information
does not have to be copied from the material master into the planning file when updating the
planning file. The MRP planning run reads the low level code of all materials requiring planning from
the material master.
Reason
In SAP S/4HANA the planning file was optimized for simplified update logic, consistency and for
update performance.
2.1.12.12.2Business Process related information
In the classic Business Suite, reports RMMDVM10 and RMMDVM20 made a first setup of planning
file entries and checked planning file consistency for operative planning. In SAP S/4HANA, run report
PPH_SETUP_MRPRECORDS instead. For long-term planning, the reports RMMDVL10 and RMMDVL20
are replaced by the report PPH_SETUP_MRPRECORDS_SIMU.
SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 no longer supports net change planning in the planning
horizon (processing key NETPL). MRP always determines material shortages for all known material
requirements. MRP can no longer cover only the material shortages inside a limited planning horizon.

2.1.12.12.3Required and Recommended Action(s)
No actions are required on start release. After the system conversion, you should run report
PPH_SETUP_MRPRECORDS to populate the new planning file table with operative MRP records (PPMRP) and the report PPH_SETUP_MRPRECORDS_SIMU for simulative MRP records (PP-MP-LTP).
2.1.12.12.4Related SAP Notes
Conversion Pre-Checks
Custom Code related The original planning files MDVM/MDVL and DBVM/DBVL no longer
information
exist. They were replaced by the new planning file PPH_DBVM.
If your custom code creates planning file entries directly by updating or
inserting into tables MDVM, MDVL, DBVM, or DBVL, then you have to
adapt the custom code and call function module DISPSATZ_ERSTELLEN
instead. If your custom code only reads from the tables DBVM or DBVL,
no adaption is necessary. Queries from table DBVM or DBVL will be
redirected to the new planning file PPH_DBVM by compatibility views.
See note 2227059
2.1.12.13 Total Dependent Requirements
2.1.12.13.1Description
Context
MRP runtime depends among many other factors on the number of material receipts and
requirements that have to be read to compute a material's shortages. Materials, which are
component of very many BOMs, can have many thousands of dependent requirements. Total
dependent requirements reduced the number of dependent requirements, which had to be read by
MRP at the expense of possible locking conflicts when updating the total dependent requirements.
Description of Simplification
HANA is very good at summing up many rows in a table. There is no need to compute and write
totals every time a single record is changed. Neither MRP Live nor the classic MRP support total
dependent requirements in SAP S/4HANA.
on 1511
Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
141
Reason
BOM explosion creates dependent requirements for all component materials needed to manufacture
a material. Total dependent requirements create locking problems if the same component material is
used in the BOM of different materials. MRP live creates very many planned orders in parallel.
Locking conflicts would impair parallel processing and total MRP runtime.
2.1.12.13.2Business Process related information
Business processes are not changed. MRP reads individual dependent requirements rather than total
dependent requirements.
2.1.12.13.3Required and Recommended Action(s)
Follow the instructions for "Clean up Total Requirements" in the SAP help portal (Link)
2.1.12.13.4Related SAP Notes

See SAP Note 2229126
2.1.12.14 Forecast Based Planning
2.1.12.14.1Description
In forecast based planning (MRP type VV) the MRP creates planned orders or purchase requisitions if
total forecast demand up to a certain point of time exceeds the total firmed receipt quantity up to
the same point of time. The total firmed receipt quantity includes inventory, production orders,
purchase orders, firmed planned orders, and firmed purchase requisitions. Forecast based planning is
a simple planning procedure, which does not require managing planned independent requirements.
For Forecast based planning the following things need to be considered:
MRP live does not perform forecast based planning in HANA but sends the affected materials
into the classic ABAP planning procedure. This results in a performance loss.
Forecast demand and planned independent requirements are semantically very similar. SAP
S/4HANA tries to avoid redundant functionality.
The Fiori-UI for planned independent requirements does not differentiate between forecast and
planned independent requirements. A statistical forecast is just one of several possible data sources
and the result is always planned independent requirements. SAP will not build separate Fiori-UIs for
forecast demand.
2.1.12.14.2Business Process related information
In the long run forecast based planning should be replaced by MRP type planning. Proceed as
follows:
Step 1: Convert forecast requirements into planned independent requirements (PIR)
Step 2: Change MRP type VV to one of the MRP types PD, P1, P2, P3, or P4

2.1.12.15 Demand Forecasting
2.1.12.15.1Description
Demand forecasting estimates future material demand based on historic material consumption data.
The material demand forecast can be copied into planned independent requirements or it can be
used to compute safety stocks and reorder points.
Classic demand forecasting copies the consumption history into an ABAP application server,
performs the forecasting algorithm in ABAP and writes the result back into the database. Copying
data between database server and ABAP application server takes time.
HANA has a built in library of forecasting algorithms, which could be utilized for forecasting material
demand. A future demand forecasting solution will probably perform the forecasting algorithm in
HANA utilizing HANA's forecasting library.
Transactions MP30, MP31, MP32, MP33, MP38, and MP39 are still available in SAP S/4HANA onpremise edition 151116. Currently there is no functional equivalent available within SAP S/4HANA, onpremise edition 1511.

2.1.12.17 Computer Aided Processing Planning (CAP)
2.1.12.17.1Description
Standard value calculation with "Computer Aided Process Planning" CAPP was intended to determine
the processing durations for production operations. Standard values can be determined in several
ways:
Time studies
Estimating
Polling
Sampling and statistical procedures for determining times (for example, period time sheets) Calculation
methods (for example, MTM, WF and planned times)
Standard value calculation with CAPP allows you to define formulas, with which durations can be
computed based on product properties. CAPP is not available in SAP S/4HANA.
2.1.12.17.2Business Process related information
Consider alternative approaches to determine standard values. SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition

2.1.12.18 ABAP-List-Based PI-Sheets
2.1.12.18.1Description
Starting with R/3 4.6 C formerly used ABAP list-based process instruction sheets have been replaced
by browser-based PI sheets (see SAP Note 397504 - Support for ABAP list-based PI sheet). Currently
only very few customers (less than 5 known) still use ABAP list-based PI sheets. The code needed for
list-based PI sheets is still available in SAP S/4HANA on-premise edition 1511 but will be not available
in a future release. Use browser-based PI sheets for the time being.
2.1.12.18.2Business Process related information
Customers that used ABAP list-based PI sheets temporarily have to switch to browser-based PI
sheets: The corresponding control recipe destinations of type 1 (ABAP-based PI sheets) have to be
replaced with other control recipe destinations of type 4 (browser-based PI sheets). This mostly
affects the used master recipes and process orders.
Browser-based PI sheets offer a better support of the business processes that include the usage of
ABAP-list based PI sheets. No influence on business processes expected.
Transactions CO55, CO60, CO60XT, CO64, and CO67 are still available but will be replaced in a future
release when a successor for browser-based PI sheets is available. The possibility to select ABAP listbased PI sheets is still available in SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 but will be not available in
a future release.
2.1.12.18.3Required and Recommended Action(s)
Start exchanging control recipe destinations of type 1 (ABAP list-based PI sheets) with master recipes
(process orders). Create and send test control recipes for the exchanged control recipe destinations.
Check the browser-based PI sheets that are generated from the test control recipes.
Recommended:
Use XStep-based process instructions instead of characteristic-based process instructions
Replace generation scopes and filters that are defined in customizing (of the control recipe destination)
with XStep-based generation scopes and valuation symbols

2.1.12.34 Rate and Rough-Cut Planning
2.1.12.34.1Description
SAP ERP production versions allowed you to reference routings, rate routings, and rough-cut
planning profiles in parallel. MRP then created capacity requirements for detailed planning, ratebased planning, and rough-cut planning in parallel. The detailed capacity requirements originated
from the explosion of routings, the rate-based capacity requirements originated from the explosion
of rate routings, and the rough-cut capacity requirements originated from the explosion of rough-cut
planning profiles.
on 1511
Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
152
S/4 has only one scheduling level. The S/4 MRP explodes the one routing defined in the production
version, which can be a routing, a rate routing, or a rough-cut planning profile. This was changed for
the following reasons:
S/4 planned orders and production orders have consistent capacity requirements. There are
no discrepancies between detailed planning, rough-cut planning, and rate-based planning
A production process is performed either on an assembly line or in a job-shop environment.
If something is produced on a takt-based assembly line, then the production process should
be modelled by a rate routing. If something is produced in a job-shop environment then the
production process should be modelled by a standard routing. There is no production
process that is both rate-based and job-shop simultaneously. Therefore there is no need to
perform rate-based and detailed scheduling in parallel. Of course it is still possible to define
alternative production versions for the same material, where one production version is
performed on an assembly line and the other one is performed in a job-shop. A single
production version, however, always has a single model of the production process.
Different scheduling levels make reporting on capacities utilization and capacity load more
difficult. Users always have to specify the scheduling level.
S/4 can easily aggregate capacity requirements originating from different production
versions. In SAP ERP, however, you were only allowed to aggregate the capacity
requirements of a selected scheduling level. You had to make sure not to mix the detailed
capacity requirements and rate-based capacity requirements. Analytics on capacity load
across departments was difficult if one department used job-shop manufacturing and the
other used assembly lines.
Two scheduling levels double the runtime needed for scheduling. Three scheduling levels
triple the runtime needed for scheduling.
Capacity planning in S/4 shall be simple. PPDS offers advanced capacity planning features for
the more difficult planning problems.
2.1.12.34.2Business Process related information
No influence on business processes expected.
2.1.12.34.3Required and Recommended Action(s)
The Conversion pre-check raises a warning if you use scheduling levels other than "Detailed
planning". In this case you should check the production versions. The unfortunate naming of the
scheduling levels could have resulted in a separation of job-shop and rate based capacity planning.
Copy any rate routings from scheduling level "Rate-based planning" to scheduling level "Detailed
planning" if the production process is modelled by a rate routing and if the routing is only defined for
scheduling level "Rate-based planning".

2.1.12.35 Planning Horizon
2.1.12.35.1Description
The SAP ERP MRP covered material demand inside the planning horizon only if processing key
"NETPL" was used. It covered all material demand if processing key "NETCH" was used. Planning
inside the planning horizon was a performance measure intended to improve MRP runtime. With
planning inside the planning horizon, MRP had to create fewer planned orders and was therefore
running faster. This was achieved at the expense of a more complicated planning procedure.
Planning horizons for materials on different BOM levels had to be aligned. Periodically, net change
planning with processing key "NETCH" had to be performed in order to create planned orders for
material demand in the more distant future.
The S/4 MRP always covers all material demand. Planning inside the planning horizon is no longer
available. Thanks to performance improvements of MRP in HANA, the additional performance
improvements of net change planning are negligible and do not justify the additional effort.
2.1.12.35.2Business Process related information
A planning run is usually executed in batch mode via the planning batch transactions MDBT for MRP,
MSBT for Long Term Planning and MDBS for MPS-Planning. In that context, variants can be defined. If
old variants still contain the processing key NETPL, they won't work anymore.
2.1.12.35.3Required and Recommended Action(s)
If there are still variants for the planning run batch Transactions having the processing key filled with
NETPL, these variants have to be deleted.
Customers can build their own planning application using the BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_PLANNING. The
BAPI has got the same planning parameter options as the classical planning transactions. In that
context the processing key NETPL cannot be used any more.
2.1.12.35.1Conversion Pre-Checks and Custom Code related information

2.1.14.12 Substance Volume Tracking Selection Criteria based on tables VBUK and VBUP
2.1.14.12.1Description
In many countries regulations require that chemicals and hazardous substances must be registered if
they are purchased, imported, produced, sold, or exported in specific quantities and within a certain
on 1511
Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
178
period. SAP Substance Volume Tracking helps companies to comply with the relevant regulations by
recording the quantities of substances that need to be tracked. By comparing the recorded quantities
with the limit values, the system can issue a warning in good time before a limit value is exceeded; if
a limit value is exceeded, the system can also block the respective business process. This means
companies can ensure that they stay within the quantity limits.
In substance volume tracking, the system reads logistics data from the following tables depending on
the scenario:

2.1.19 Financial – General
2.1.19.1 Different Start Releases
Different start releases are supported for a system conversion to SAP S/4HANA, on-premise 1511.
One of the supported start release is SAP Simple Finance, on-premise edition 1503. In this solution
the major elements of the application simplification in financials area are already included.
Accordingly potentially required adaption steps are already done within this release and then not
required (again) after the move from SAP Simple Finance, on-premise edition 1503 to SAP S/4HANA
on-premise edition 1511. SAP S/4HANA on-premise edition 1511 however provides some additional
simplification items for financials.
This means, for customer moving from SAP Business Suite (for example SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 0 till 7) all
financial related activities need to be executed as part of the move to SAP S/4HANA, on-premise
edition 1511, while for customers moving from SAP Simple Finance, on-premise edition 1503 only
these additional items are relevant.
The financial related simplification items do contain an information if they are relevant as well for
customers coming from SAP Simple Finance, on-premise edition 1503.
2.1.19.2 Data Model Changes in FIN
2.1.19.2.1 Description
With the installation of SAP Simple Finance, on-premise edition totals and application index tables
were removed and replaced by identically-named DDL SQL views, called compatibility views. These
views are generated from DDL sources. This replacement takes place during the add-on installation
of SAP Simple Finance using SUM – related data is secured into backup tables. The compatibility
views ensure database SELECTs work as before. However, write access (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE,
MODIFY) was removed from SAP standard, or has to be removed from custom code – refer to SAP
note 1976487.

In SAP Simple Finance, on-premise edition add-on 2.0 and SAP S/4HANA on-premise edition 1511,
additional tables were (partially) replaced by Universal Journal (ACDOCA). The approach for
compatibility views in release 2.0 differs from 1.0 in the following ways:
Compatibility views do not have the same name as the original tables.
Instead, the database interface (DBI) redirects all related database table SELECTs to a compatibility view,
which retrieves the same data based on the new data model (ACDOCA, and so on).
The connection between table and compatibility view is NOT created during the installation w/ SUM
Again, write access (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, MODIFY) was adapted in SAP standard, or has to be
adapted in custom code – refer to SAP note 1976487.

Besides the database tables, some old, related DDIC database views were replaced, either by
equivalent code, a new identically-named DDL SQL compatibility view, or an automatic redirect to a
new compatibility view. For the views that have been replaced by code, custom code also needs to
be adapted – refer to SAP note 1976487. Similarly, customer-owned DDIC views referencing the
database tables or views affected need to be replaced by equivalent code.

2.1.24.4.1 Description
General Cost Objects and Cost Object Hierarchies are not available within SAP S/4HANA, on-premise
edition 1511.
2.1.24.4.2 Business Process related information
General Cost Objects are not available within SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 (consider using
internal orders or product cost collectors instead).
Cost Object Hierarchies are not available within SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 (consider
using order hierarchies for aggregation of costs on manufacturing orders and distribution of usage
variances function to distribute inventory differences and activity differences instead.
Custom Code to update cost object to CO tables will still run. Contact SAP for pilot note to release
functions for short term use.
Where the cost object hierarchy is being used to aggregate costs collected on the manufacturing
orders, it is recommended that an order hierarchy be used instead. These hierarchies are created by
using transaction KKR0 and are aggregated at runtime by using transaction KKBC_HOE_H.
Where the cost object hierarchy is used to collect costs at an aggregate level and then distribute
them to the associated manufacturing orders, it is recommended that transaction CKMATDUV be
used to distribute material usage variances and CKMDUVACT to distribute activity usage variances.
Analyze reporting processes to determine whether cost objects are used as an account assignment
and understand the nature of the costs posted to the cost object nodes. Use distribution of usage
variances function as an alternative for cost distribution.

2.1.24.5 Transfer Prices/ Parallel Delta Versions
2.1.24.5.1 Description
Parallel Delta Versions for Actuals in Controlling
With the merge of FI and CO into the Universal Journal a new approach to parallel valuations will be
implemented. Therefore, the existing solutions based on parallel delta versions for actuals in
Controlling have to be adapted. The functionality of "Transfer prices" valuating the transfer of a good
or service according to legal-, group-, or profit center valuation is not yet supported. The
functionality of "Multiple Valuation of Cost of Goods Manufactured" providing parallel valuations in
CO according to multiple accounting principles is not yet supported. See SAP note 2127080.
2.1.24.5.2 Business Process related information
If currency and valuation profiles exist for group valuation, profit center valuation or parallel cost of
goods manufactured and delta versions have been set up that contain such data you will not be able
to migrate.
Group valuation, profit center valuation and parallel cost of goods manufactured not currently
supported. In a new system, configuration activities are blocked. In an existing system, migration is
blocked.

2.1.24.6 ALE Scenarios
2.1.24.6.1 Description
Currently, a Sap S/4HANA, on-premise 1511 system cannot act as ALE receiver system for CO line
items: FI and CO line items share the same persistency table and so there is no support for receiving
(= posting) CO line items only - without the corresponding line items in FI. ALE scenarios for
distributing CO master data such as cost centers are still supported. For updates, check SAP Note
2129306.
2.1.24.6.2 Business Process related information
Check for cross-system controlling scenarios. Use Central Finance data transfers as an alternative to
bring data out of local systems and into a central controlling system.
2.1.24.6.3 Required and Recommended Action(s)
Check use of existing ALE scenarios for central/decentral controlling and investigate whether
scenarios delivered for Central Finance can be used as an alternative. In Central Finance CO
line items for primary costs are transferred with the relevant FI postings; CO line items for
allocations and settlement are transferred separately.
Use Central Finance option rather than ALE for central/decentral controlling.

scenarios for Central Finance.
2.1.24.7 Cost Elements
2.1.24.7.1 Description
Cost elements become part of the chart of accounts, maintenance in account master data
(transaction FS00) instead of separate cost element master data (transactions KA01, KA02, KA03, and
KA06). Account master record includes new field for cost element category. Field status groups can
remain unchanged but default account assignments must be set via transaction OKB9 rather than in
the cost element master.
Implications: Customer roles (menus and authorizations) need to be adjusted. To maintain primary
and secondary cost elements you will need authorization for both G/L accounts and cost elements.
Period close locks will have to ensure that postings are allowed to the appropriate accounts and to
the appropriate CO business transactions (transaction OKP1). .
on 1511
Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
217
2.1.24.7.2 Business Process related information
The universal journal contains one field account that covers both G/L accounts and cost elements.
The account master offers new account types for primary costs/revenues and secondary costs. G/L
accounts of account type primary costs/revenues will require an assignment to a CO account
assignment (cost centers, account, project, CO-PA characteristic). G/L accounts of account type
secondary costs will be updated during direct activity allocation, assessment, distribution,
settlement, and so on. New reports such as the trial balance will display all postings (primary and
secondary) by account. Classic reports will display cost elements via compatibility views. Customizing
settings such as costing sheets, cost component structures, settlement profiles, and so on will
continue to display cost elements and the business transaction in which a cost element can be used
will continue to be defined by the cost element category which is now part of the account master.
All journal entries are recorded under G/L accounts, including primary costs (wages, salaries,
depreciation, raw materials, and so on) and secondary costs (direct and indirect activity allocations,
settlement, and so on). Cost element groups are still available to group accounts for selection and
reporting.
Report Writer and Report Painter reports will continue to show cost elements but all new reports,
including SAP Fiori apps, will show only the account. Customizing for allocations, costing sheets,
settlement processes, and so on, continues to be based on cost elements.

2.1.26.2 Technical Changes in Material Ledger
2.1.26.2.1 Description
Usage of Material Ledger for parallel currencies and parallel valuation purpose:
Contents of tables MLIT, MLPP, MLPPF, MLCR, MLCRF, MLCD, CKMI1, BSIM are now stored in
ACDOCA. MLHD data is stored in BKPF
Compatibility views V_<TABLENAME> (for example, V_MLIT) are provided to reproduce the old
structures
on 1511
Simplification List for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511
224
Access to old data in tables still possible via the views V_<TABLENAME>_ORI (for example,
V_MLIT_ORI)
MLHD, MLIT, MLPP, MLCR still keep prima nota information, in case of manual price changes or
material debit/credit.
Separate currency customizing of Material Ledger is become obsolete, instead Material Ledger is
acting on the currencies defined for the leading ledger in Financials.
For materials that are not relevant for actual costing (xBEW-MLAST = '2') no ML update documents
(MLHD-VGART = 'UP') are persisted anymore in the ML document tables MLHD, MLIT, MLPP, MLCR
and MLCD. Instead those update document data are being reconstructed by read access compatibility
views based on ACDOCA. Hence attributes from ML data model, relevant for a pure inventory subledger functionality, are part of table ACDOCA.
No “Price Determination Structure“ view for non-actual costing materials
With the merge of the Material Ledger update document into the Universal Journal (ACDOCA) actual
costing relevant key figures will not be updated anymore for non-actual costing materials ( „Price
Determination: Transaction-Based“). Therefore transaction CKM3N „Material Price Analysis“ will
provide only the view „Price History“ for non-actual costing materials, means the view „Price
Determination Structure“ is not available any longer.
Usage of Material Ledger for Actual Costing purpose:
MLHD, MLIT, MLPP, MLPPF, MLCR, MLCRF, MLCD are used as before Simple Finance 2.0
The following Customizing Transaction are obsolete win Sap S/4HANA:
OMX2: Assign Currency Types to Material Ledger Type
OMX3: Assign Material Ledger Types to Valuation Area
2.1.26.3 Real Estate Classic
2.1.26.3.1 Description
The SAP Simple Finance, on-premise edition 1503 does not support Real Estate Classic (RE Classic).
The business requirements can be covered by using Real Estate Flexible (RE-FX) functionality. For
more details, see SAP Note 1944871. As RE-FX is the more up-to-date solution and has a much
broader functional scope (see SAP Note 517673), only RE-FX is included as the RE component in the
SAP S/4HANA on-premise edition.
2.1.26.3.2 Business Process related information
Before switching to SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 (or SAP Simple Finance, On-Premise
edition 1503), customers who use RE Classic need to migrate RE Classic to RE-FX as part of a
migration project. It is not possible to migrate after switching to SAP S/4HANA. We recommend
that you perform the migration to RE-FX in your existing system (see SAP Note 828160).
As of Release SAP ERP 6.0 you can migrate your data from RE Classic to RE-FX. SAP provides
migration programs to help you convert

2.1.26.4 Data Archiving
2.1.26.4.1 Description
You have installed SAP Simple Finance and want to use SAP Data Aging for the FI document. To do so,
you must adjust customer-specific programs or modifications. For the FI document in SAP Simple
Finance, archiving was replaced by data aging, pushing out data to the cold store area of the
database. Access to files archived before the system conversion is still supported.
Data aging needs to be configured, and in all places where you previously accessed the archive, you
must now access the cold area of the database and potentially the archive as well. If you use
standard SAP function modules for this, no adjustment is required (otherwise, see SAP note
2076652).
2.1.26.5 SAP Smart Business for SAP Simple Finance68
2.1.26.5.1 Description
SAP Smart Business for SAP Simple Finance includes many KPI reports on various aspects in FI, CO,
AP, and AR. A strategic decision was taken to switch the technology from Calculation Views to CDS
Views with SAP S/4HANA. This requires a technical adaptation at the customer's site: Existing
personalization needs to be redone, personalized tiles have to be deleted and recreated, and userdefined KPIs have to be redone on CDS technology.
2.1.26.5.2 Business Process related information
There should be replacement Smart Business Apps for all existing Smart Business Apps with
equivalent capabilities.
2.1.26.5.3 Required and Recommended Action(s)
If HANA Live views are used, time and resources should be planned for migration to CDS
Views or for implementation of the additional RDS package (if that is available).
Existing personalization needs to be redone, personalized tiles have to be deleted and
recreated. User-defined KPIs have to be redone on CDS technology.

2.1.29.1 BRIM - Billing of Event Data Records (EDR)
2.1.29.1.1 Description
EDR Management is used to transfer event detail records (EDR) from an external system, manage the
received information and prepare it for billing. Instead of the EDR Management you can use the
Billing of Billable Items.
The BRIM solution covers CRM, CI / FI-CA (ERP) and SAP Convergent Charging components/systems.
The Event Data Records Solution was developed to charge and to bill single events like Toll Collects or
downloads. This Solution was replaced by BIT BILLING since 2008.

2.1.29.2 BRIM - Common Object Layer (COL)
2.1.29.2.1 Description
The Common Object Layer Framework (COL framework) can be used to distribute data (e.g. master
data, provider contracts) from SAP CRM System into SAP Convergent Charging and SAP ERP System.
In SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 the distribution between these systems is done directly,
the framework is not provided any more.
The BRIM solution covers CRM, FI-CA (ERP) and SAP Convergent Charging components/systems.
The Common Object Layer was developed in SAP_APPL to provide the technical possibility to
distribute master data from ERP to SAP Convergent Charging without using the software component
FI-CA. However, no customer used this feature. The BRIM solution is always used with FI-CA or CI
component. Thus, the Common Object Layer is not available in SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition
1511. The distribution of objects is now done directly in software component FI-CA.
2.1.29.2.2 Business Process related information
No influence on business processes expected for customers: the master data distribution still works
in SAP S/4HANA On Premise.

2.1.29.4 BRIM - Solution Sales and Billing
2.1.29.4.1 Description
The BRIM solution / hybris Billing covers CRM, CI / FI-CA (ERP) and SAP Convergent Charging
components / Systems.
Provider contracts are created from CRM. For the integration of provider contracts in SAP Contract
Accounts Receivable and Payable, SAP Convergent Invoicing and finally SD Billig with FI-AR, the
provider contracts need additional information for processing in SD. In additional to that business
agreements assigned to a business partner need to be created automatically in background without
replication in CRM. As the follow up processing of CI Billing Documents in SD Billing is currently not
available within SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition, this feature is not provided. Billing and Invoicing
of consumption data is still possible within FI-CA but not with SD and FI-AR.
In addition to that the BRIM SD deployment variant was developed to invoice consumption data also
in SD billing with accounting in FI-AR. This solution is currently not available within Sap S/4HANA, onpremise edition 1511. Therefore the additions on the provider contract with SD Biliing relevant data
and the background creation of contract accounts in ERP without existing contract accounts in CRM
is not required.

Charging is only supported as joint replication. For example master data (business partners, contract
accounts, pre-paid accounts) are only replicated to SAP Convergent Charging if the data for the
related provider contract is received in FI-CA. This means that the master data of business partners,
contract accounts, and prepaid accounts cannot be replicated independently of each other and
immediately to SAP Convergent Charging any more.
2.1.29.5.2 Business Process related information
No influence on business process since the master data replication (as Joint Master Data Replication

2.1.33.3 External Service Providers
2.1.33.3.1 Description
In SAP S/4HANA, the automotive industry solution for managing vendor stock at External Service
Providers (ESP) is not available.
The solution had been addressed to companies purchasing direct material from vendors who put the
products to stock at an ESP for replenishment to the customer. The stock at the ESP is still owned by
the vendor until the supply to the customer who requests a just in time replenishment directly from
the ESP to the production.

An EDI message with type STOACT allowed the transmission of the current vendor stock for each
product in inventory at the ESP; the inbound processing compared that stock information with the
current vendor consignment stock at a defined storage location assigned to the ESP and posted the
differences. It was recommended to exclude the ESP storage location from MRP to not consider the
vendor's stock into account when planning and creating delivery schedules. For evaluation reasons,
the vendor consignment stock at ESP storage locations could be included when defining selection
rules for the stock/requirements list.
2.1.33.3.2 Business Process related information
Vendor stock of products in inventory at an external service provider (ESP) cannot be processed as

2.1.33.4 Cross-System Transit between Two Plants
2.1.33.4.1 Description
The automotive industry solution for cross-system transit between two plants addressed the need to
manage stock in transit between different plants of a company operating in different SAP ERP
systems. The goods posted goods issue at the supplying plant resulted in a goods movement posting
to the stock in transit of the receiving plant automatically using a remote function call in the target
system. The goods in transit are then managed and valuated automatically by the receiving plant. A
goods receipt in the receiving plant then resulted in a transfer posting from the stock in transit to a
storage location stock. The automotive industry solution focused especially on the usage of
scheduling agreements for procurement between the plants.
That solution is not available within SAP S/4HANA.

2.1.33.5 Long Material Number
2.1.33.5.1 Description
In SAP ERP, the automotive industry solution for the long material number did not extend the
material number used as key and reference field in database tables. Instead it provided an additional
extended representation of the material number up to 40 characters and a conversion from the 18
characters internal representation to the external representation and vice versa. The external
representation has been entered and displayed on user interfaces as well as technical interfaces like
BAPIs and IDOCs. The solution had restrictions and with its necessary conversions between internal
and external representation suboptimal from performance perspective.
In SAP S/4HANA a material number natively extended to 40 characters will be supported as it has
been done already for all SAP new dimension products.
See the Simplification Item related to the Material Field length Extension (2.1.1.3 Material Number
Field Length Extension) about the central change of the material number.
2.1.33.5.2 Business Process related information
The industry solution for long material numbers will be replaced by a native long material number.
That replacement has a technical influence but no influence on business processes expected.

2.1.33.6 Material Version
2.1.33.6.1 Description
The automotive industry solution for material versions is based on the industry solution for the long
material number.
The implementation of the long material number will be fundamentally changed in SAP S/4HANA,
and considering the limited functionality and value of the solution for material versions and the very
low customer adoption rate, that solution will be not available with SAP S/4HANA, on-premise
edition 1511.
When material versioning had been activated, a version could be created with reference to a nonversioned material (called "header material"). Each version is created as an own material master,
uniquely identified by the material number of the header material and its version ID.
The master data maintenance of a material version is controlled by the version type and the logistics
switch
The version type specified with each material version created defines which material attributes are
version-specific and could be maintained for each version independently (like it is valid for nonversioned material) and which shall be equal for the header material and all its versions.
For these attributes, a change will be applied to the header material and all other versions
simultaneously.
The logistics switch controls whether logistics-relevant views could be maintained for a material
version or not. One reason is to create material versions for documentary reasons like minor changes
in drawings etc. Another reason is to use material versions in logistics only in early phases of product
development where changes occur often and continue in the mature phases of the lifecycle with the
header material only.
Except for the master data maintenance, the only application specifically handling material versions
is the BOM explosion from iPPE
(Integrated Product and Process Engineering). iPPE could be maintained just using header materials,
so new material versions do not require the maintenance of iPPE objects. During BOM explosion, a
valid material version with active logistics switch is dynamically determined and the header material
replaced by its version if found. The validity for material versions is determined via ECM (Engineering
Change Management) which is obligatory for material versions to be used. All other applications do
not distinguish between header material and material versions

2.1.33.7.1 Description
In SAP S/4HANA, the automotive industry solution for planning inbound shipments for regular routes
based on route schedules is not available.
Regular routes like milk-run tours lead to repeated shipments. Route schedules could be defined as
basis for generating inbound shipments. Inbound deliveries created based on shipping notifications
from suppliers could be directly linked as items to the generated inbound shipments. The inbound
shipments could then be used for goods receipt processing collectively for all inbound deliveries
shipped together.

2.1.37.1 Former Budgeting System (FBS) in Funds Management
2.1.37.1.1 Description
In the Business Suite, the process budget maintenance was reflected by two tools, the older Former
Budgeting System or FBS (co-development with the Project System budget capabilities) and the more
recent Budget Control System (BCS). While a migration from FBS to BCS is available since release ECC
5.0 already, a large number of customers was quite satisfied with FBS and never saw a business need
to execute the migration. SAP did never announce the end of life for FBS in the Business Suite.
For SAP S/4HANA, ON-PREMISE EDITIN 1511, the decision was taken to only support BCS as a tool,
also because the architecture of BCS is much more suitable to the simplification approach.
2.1.37.1.2 Business Process related information
Customers need to reconsider their needs in budget maintenance and how these are best reflected
in BCS. Different objects and configuration (compared to FBS) is available to support budget
maintenance. The BCS tool is already available since ECC 5.0, thus impact analysis, PoCs, migration

tests and migration can take place before the system conversion to SAP S/4HANA, on-premise
edition1511.
Once on SAP S/4HANA, the FBS data is still available but operational transactions are blocked. As the
typical timeframe of an approved budget is one year, the time remaining after system conversion to
SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 might not be sufficient to consider and execute a smooth
Conversion. It is therefore recommended from a business perspective to perform the FBS -> BCS
migration before the system conversion to SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511.
Influence on Business Processes
The business process change is not predictable and strongly depends on the chosen implementation
of BCS.

2.1.37.3 Expenditure Certification
2.1.37.3.1 Description
Expenditure Certification is a functionality which was based on a legal framework of subsidy funding
from the European Community. This type of funding was last approved by the European Union in
2012, after which the legal framework was changed such that the detailed kind of process is no
longer legally required. Due to this, and as Expenditure Certification also was only used by a few
customers in ERP, it is no longer considered the target architecture in SAP S/4HANA. Activation of BF
in SAP S/4HANA is not supported for new customers, customers with BF activated in Business Suite
and migrating to S/4HANA should contact SAP Product Management to discuss strategy going
forward. Currently there is no functional equivalent as alternative available.
2.1.37.3.2 Business Process related information
Customers, who used Expenditure Certification in ERP and are planning to move to S/4HANA, have to
remodel their business processes accordingly if they still see a need or use for such functionality.

2.1.37.4.1 Description
With the introduction of Business Partner and Customer/Vendor Integration (CVI) as mandatory
aspects of SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511, customer and vendor master record creation,
maintenance and display is only possible via the Business Partner functionality. In both customer and
vendor client and company code-specific tables, specific fields relevant for US Federal Financials had
been added, which are now also available via the business partner transaction 'BP'. Refer to the
simplification item for business partner for general information (Business Partner Approach).
2.1.37.4.2 Business Process related information
Business Partner transaction 'BP' is now used to create, change or display customer or vendor data.
This also applies to the specific fields required in US Financials. Use the role for 'Business Partner
Vendor (FI part)' (FLVN01) and 'Business Partner Customer (FI part)' (FLCU01)' and the tabs
'Customer - USFG Fields' and 'Vendor - USFG Fields' to display and maintain the specific fields.

2.1.37.5 Fund Accounting based on Special Ledger
2.1.37.5.1 Description
In SAP S/4HANA, the Universal Journal is the functionality to reflect the General Ledger (GL). All
master data entities required to support fund accounting are available in the Universal Journal
database table ACDOCA. Functional Area Grant
Document splitting as the core feature to achieve self-balancing accounting documents by Fund also
is available in the standard General Ledger in SAP S/4HANA.
A migration from New General Ledger as well as from the classic General Ledger into a basic
implementation of the General Ledger using the Universal Journal is mostly done automatically - see
simplification item General Ledger for details.
Any functionality based on Special Ledger (and therefore Fund Accounting based on Special Ledger as
well), whether built as a custom implementation or based on SAP recommendations, is still
supported in SAP S/4HANA. However, new developments / simplifications will be based on the
Universal Journal Entry only. Customers currently using Fund Accounting based on Special Ledger
might consider a migration to New General Ledger with document splitting prior to the system
conversion to SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 (due to the fact that a direct migration with
document splitting to the GL with Universal Journal in SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 is not
yet available).

2.1.37.6 Data Structure changes in BCS
2.1.37.6.1 Description
All 3 aggregate/totals tables in the Budget Control System (BCS) are no longer updated. The totals
table update has been replaced as follows:
Budget totals, stored in table FMBDT: For any budget change, BCS has always created
corresponding line items, stored in table FMBDP. With SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition
1511, totals are no longer updated in table FMBDT, instead they are calculated via FMBDP.
As the line items already exist, no migration is needed for migrating customers. A
compatibility view is attached as proxy object to the totals table (CDS view V_FMBDT).
Revenue Increasing Budget (RIB) totals, stored in table FMRBT: For this table, normally no
customer has ever written any line items. However, since RIB rules are strictly yeardependent, a simple reconstruction is needed for upgrade customers: Run TA FMRBREINIT
for the current fiscal year to populate the line item table FMRBP, making the RIB functions
work again. The table FMRBT is no longer update. A compatibility view is attached as proxy
object to the totals table (CDS view V_FMRBT).
Active Availability Control (AVC) totals, stored table FMAVCT: For this table normally no
customer has written change or line items. The update of the change records for AVC in table
FMAVCT_RECON_YR is initiated by executing the re-initialization of AVC data via transaction
FMAVCREINIT. Until execution, the totals table will still be updated for migrating customers.
For new customers (in the sense of no technical migration from a non-SAP S/4HANA system),
change records will be created from the beginning and the totals table is not updated. There
is a compatibility view for AVC, the CDS view V_FMAVCT_COMPAT. However, this view is not
yet attached as proxy object to table FMAVCT.
2.1.37.6.2 Business Process related information
The change is of technical nature. All business processes and transactions remain functional and
appear unchanged to users

PSGLFLEXx, (such as Functional Area and) are now part of the Universal Journal Entry table ACDOCA.
Grant
The new journal entry feature offers all dimensions needed to generate financial as well as
management information compliant with Public Sector accounting regulations.

Migration from New General Ledger to Universal Journal Entry also manages Public Sector
Management (PSM) fields and specific source tables.
Compatibility views for the no longer updated newGL tables are generated as part of the migration
process
2.1.37.7.2 Business Process related information
Customers will technically use the Universal Journal as the GL transaction data table.
Transaction not available in SAP S/4HANA onpremise edition 1511
See the respective FI-GL simplification items.
2.1.37.7.3 Required and Recommended Action(s)
Due to the existence of compatibility views, custom code for reporting purposes does not need to be
changed to continue to display GL data. You should however consider to exchange access to GL data
by natively accessing the universal journal table ACDOCA to benefit from the flexibility that this new
concept offers. Also, consider that the concept of compatibility views puts the focus on compatibility
of the new structures with old structures, not on improving the performance of old access
Code that is used to maintain GL settings should no longer be executed. You need to adapt such
coding to the new GL functionality using the new GL configuration.
Code that is used to post journal voucher entries via GL entry documents is not affected and will
continue to work.
Data migration activities are required and covered in the documentation for the universal journal.

2.1.37.8.1 Description
Multi-level Budget Structure (MBS) in the Budget Control System allows a customer to perform
hierarchical budget processes like:
top-down distribution
bottom-up roll-up
The functionality does support timeframe-dependent definition of hierarchies of Funds Management
master data.
The functionality was only used by less than 5 productive customers in the Business Suite, and
deemed as complex to configure and complex to handle. It was this decided to discontinue the
functionality without commitment that any kind of successor would be offered with a future release
It is therefore no longer considered the target architecture in SAP S/4HANA. Activation of BF in SAP
S/4HANA is not supported for new customers, customers with BF activated in Business Suite and
migrating to SAP S/4HANA should contact SAP Product Management to discuss strategy going
forward.
2.1.37.8.2 Business Process related information
A customer needs to decide if hierarchy-based budget processes are relevant to him and how to
reflect them with the remaining functionality. No standard suggestion can be given.
The existing Business Processes cannot be executed in a hierarchical environment any longer.

2.1.37.9.1 Description
The Average Daily Balance-based Distribution functionality is not available with SAP S/4HANA, onpremise edition 1511. The architecture of the functionality would require considerable rework to
follow the simplification paradigms of SAP S/4HANA. This is not justified as it has only been used by
very few customers. The functionality is not part of a legal requirement.
Technically, the functionality has only been disabled, all objects and all existing data remains in place
2.1.37.9.2 Business Process related information
The feature did require to keep a complete copy of the leading general ledger on a daily fiscal year
variant basis to support the calculation of average daily balances. This data is no longer
needed/supported thus reducing the data footprint. The distribution result are FI journal voucher
documents which remain unchanged. Also, as the functionality is only disabled, the full configuration
and calculation trail that had existed is still available for review purposes.
If the business process is still used, a customer needs to establish distribution-relevant information
from the leading ledger via an analytical approach (possible, but no content made directly available),
calculate the distribution and enter a journal voucher to distribute the amounts in question from
source to target.

2.1.40.1 Output Management
2.1.40.1.1 Description
Over the years several output management tools have been established. Different applications are using
different output management tools to determine what is to be communicated, how it is to be communicated
and when it is to be communicated. Additionally if communication is determined to be done via printing
different print form technologies have been established like SAPScript, Smart Forms and Adobe Form
technology. E.g. form determination (along with other output parameters) is done via message determination
(NAST) in SD and MM while other applications use different output management technologies e.g. FIN. E.g. the
output management based on NAST support the following
Print Channels:
o Print output
o Fax
o Telex
o External send
o EDI
o Simple Mail
o Special function
o Events (SAP Business Workflow)
o Distribution (ALE)
o Tasks (SAP Business Workflow)
Print Technologies:
o SAPScript
o SmartForms
o Adobe Forms
There is a new and modern Output Management within SAP S/4HANA. The new output management by design
includes cloud qualities like extensibility enablement, multi tenancy enablement and modification free
configuration. Therefore the complete configuration differs from configuration that is used when output
management is based on NAST. The configuration is based on BRF+ which is accessible for Customers on
premise. Information about the configuration steps are available in the CSS note 2228611. In SAP S/4HANA the
target architecture is based on Adobe Document Server and Adobe Forms only. For the form determination
rules (along with other output parameters) BRF+ functionality is used (in this sense in combination with the
message determination).
Print Channel: The SAP S/4HANA Output Management supports the following Channels:
on 1511

o Email
o Printout
o XML
Print Technology: The SAP S/4HANA Output Management supports the following print technologies:
o SmartForms
o Adobe Forms
o Adobe Forms using Fragments
Regarding the forms especially footer and Logos for the new output management:
The standard SAPScript Repository is used (Transactions: SO10 and SE78). A customer can maintain
texts and logos centrally. The determination rules can be accessed via Customizing. The access is
available for Customers on premise (and for Service Center in the cloud edition).

2.1.40.2 Analytics - General
2.1.40.2.1 Description
With SAP S/4HANA Analytics a real-Time operational reporting approach is provided which enables a key user
or creates and modifies reports, KPIs or any other analytical artefacts according to their needs, based on easy
to use and cloud enabled administration tools. The Analytics functionality within SAP S/4HANA is designed for
ultimate simplicity. Technically the SAP S/4HANA Analytics approach is based on ODATA and Open CDS (aka
ABAP-managed CDS = Core Data Services).
Corresponding analytics content will be provided within SAP S/4HANA. This content will grow over time. In the
first releases of SAP S/4HANA it should not be expected that there will be an analytics content coverage like
available in SAP Business Suite where the content was established over years.
Customers will be able to extract data from SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 to their own BW-Hub.
Note: Data Source adjustments might be required to comply with changed Scope and data structures within
SAP S/4HANA. This needs to be verified on customer-specific basis. Therefore, in the 1511 SP00 coming out in
Q4/2015, customers are asked not to use existing SAP BW Extractors. The existing SAP BW extractors are
currently under review for a potential release with SAP S/4HANA 1511 SP01 in Q1/2016. An information
which Extractors are available with SAP S/4HANA will be made available together with SP01.

a table of standard job templates.
In SAP S/4HANA, this manual action has been replaced by an automatic mechanism, the Technical Job
Repository. Job Repository takes care of scheduling (and de-scheduling) necessary standard jobs (as defined

2.1.40.8 FIORI Application for SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA
2.1.40.8.1 Description
SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition comes with a corresponding UI product for frontend server installation. The
new SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition UI product is not the successor of any Business Suite product and
delivers a set of applications which is from a technical and scope perspective independent from any previous
Business Suite UI product. This implies the following conversion behaviour:
1. Different product scope
There is no automatism that apps from Business Suite will be offered in the same way for SAP S/4HANA, onpremise edition as well. Apps might be replaced, enhanced, changed, implemented using different technology
or not offered in the SAP S/4HANA context. The available app scope can be checked in the SAP Fiori apps
reference library (see detailed description below).
2. No automated conversion
The central frontend server must support multiple back-end systems. Therefore it is not possible to convert the
existing settings from Business Suite applications during the installation as this would break the existing apps
and Business Suite installations on the same frontend server. The new S/4HANA UI product can be co-deployed
and runs only against the SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition back-end. Also the other way round, existing

of the app details page, if the app is available in multiple products. In case the selected app is not available for
S/4HANA on-premise edition check, whether a successor app exist. You will can directly navigate to the
successor app from the bottom of the PRODUCT FEATURES tab.
Example: Fiori app ‘My Spend’ for ERP has a successor ‘My Spend’, which is available for ERP Add-On ‘SAP FIORI
for SAP SFIN 1503’ as well as ‘S/4 HANA on-premise 1511’
Option 3: Check availability in in S/4HANA on-premise edition for multiple apps
Filter and select all apps you want to check. Activate ‘Aggregate’ at the bottom of the app list to display a
consolidated view about all selected apps. Select ‘SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition’ in the drop-down on top
of the list. All apps which are not available for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition will be highlighted as not
available at the bottom of the list of selected apps.
