SAP Fiori - Troubleshooting Guide for SAP S/4HANA Finance, On-Premise Edition
This troubleshooting guide describes typical issues its analysis and resolution in the context of SAP Fiori for SAP S/4HANA Finance, On-Premise Edition
S/4HANA Use Cases
Highlighting S/4HANA innovations via use cases - September edition
Test Drive S/4 Hana - Cloud edition
Test drive S/4 Hana – cloud edition.
The test drive is available for Project management, Finance and Marketing
You can create procurement orders as well. Available in Fiori style tiles. Looks good, also apprehensive if this style can match the utility value of the SAP GUI. This document covers the Procurement process only.
Procurement process:
- Basic difference is the Ux. The layouts are simplified and user friendly.
- Prompts on typing is not available. You need to go into search mode to pull up a vendor. Which is same as in SAP Gui
- While creating a PO, I wanted to add a few pricing conditions. Clicked on the item value link –but could not add new pricing elements
- WBS element is now called Work package name
- When you display a vendor you can get all information related to the vendor in one screen:
- Master data
- Info record
- Purchase orders, status and values
- Invoices
- Vendor balances, line items
- Payment blocks etc
- Similarly when you display a material –you get every information related to the material
- Collaboration is easy as there is an email link at each object
- But no other means of collaboration or social media seemed to be available
- The best way of retrieving my purchase order seemed to be via the purchase group. My PO would have been nice. Prompts and intelligent suggestions are missing. This is definitely a must in today’s world. Currently a significant area for improvement for S/4
- Goods Receipt: I had missed selecting a Storage location in the PO. During GR it just stopped me without allowing any way to enter the GR. Grrr…
- Back to PO create with storage location selected
- In the midst of GR creation, I thought lets check the PO and it had problems..
- So can I not operate on multiple screens? Right clicked on the PO link and no “new tab” option available.
- Could not post the GRN as the combination of Material, Plant with Storage location was not maintained. Looks like auto create of storage location has not been set.
- Invoice processing: Again searching a PO is not friendly enough. Posting is very unfriendly if some information like tax code is missed out in the PO.
Overall my sense is:
Pros:
- Nice screen layout, friendly to the eyes
- Functionality not compromised, I assume the configuration flexibility is still the same
- Reporting for objects are easy to find
Cons:
- Number of teething issues especially related to search
- If the initial document is not complete then subsequent transactions cannot be performed
- I see similar rigidity as core ECC
Questions:
- Given that all aspects need to be configured what is the timeline expected for cloud ERP deployment? Competitors claim 90 days. What is SAP’s take?
- Most of the changes I see are in the Ux, I am aware that the columnar data storage against each record is the other change with reduction in number of tables. This will drastically alter the performance. Is there anything else I am missing?

SAP S/4HANA Custom Code Migration Worklist
Custom Code Migration Worklist
With the Custom Code Migration Worklist (technically part of SAP NetWeaver 7.5) a customer can check if his SAP Business Suite custom code complies with the scope and data structure of SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition. The following figure describes basically the supporting custom code management approach related to SAP S/4HANA.
Figure 1: Custom Code Migration Worklist at a Glance
In the context of Custom Code Migration Worklist a central component is a data store called “Simplification Database". This database contains information about which SAP objects changed between the classical Business Suite and SAP S/4HANA. For each changed object, a SAP note is referenced describing what has been changed, why it has been changed and how custom code needs to be adapted.
The relevant and release-dependent Simplification Database can be downloaded as a ZIP file from the SAP Service Marketplace and imported in a SAP NetWeaver 7.5 system.
- See SAP Note 2241080
- The ZIP file can be imported into SAP NetWeaver 7.5 system using program SYCM_UPLOAD_SIMPLIFIC_INFO.
In addition to the information about changed SAP objects, the custom code needs to be scanned for references to these SAP objects. The customer can run the Custom Code Analyzer to extract these references. The resulting file can be imported in the SAP NetWeaver 7.5 system.
- See SAP Note 2185390
- The Custom Code Analysis Result file can be imported into SAP NetWeaver 7.5 system using programSYCM_UPLOAD_REPOSITORY_INFO
With executing the Custom Code Migration Worklist the information about the current custom code base is checked against the content of the Simplification Database. This custom code information includes modifications and enhancements to SAP code as well as customer-owned main objects, respective where-used list information and possibly available usage information (UPL). The Custom Code Migration Worklist is provided in an ALV-like list (including XLS download opportunities). Besides the pure listing of customers code entities which do not comply with the SAP S/4HANA data structure and scope additional information (based on SAP notes) and recommendations will be included in the resulting list. Customers can navigate from the worklist to a corresponding SAP Note. The dedicated SAP Notes then will give the explanation about the technical change and how the related custom code needs to be adapted. Based on the results, the individual custom code analysis results and the provided adaption recommendations, the customer can plan and adapt his custom code to comply with the SAP S/4HANA data structures and scope.
Custom Code Migration Worklist - The Steps
1. Simplification List Content (CCMSIDB)
a. Download component CCMSIDB from SMP
See SAP Note 2241080
b. Upload zip-file into analysis system using report SYCM_UPLOAD_SIMPLIFIC_INFO
2. Create Custom Code Metadata Export (on Dev/QA-System)
If where-used index is not up-to-date à execute report SAPRSEUB (Note: this might have a significant runtime)
Implement SAP Note 2185390
Includes report to create metadata zip-file (to be scheduled as batch job)
Also includes the download feature for the collected content
Import results into analysis system
3. Get usage data of productively used custom code
Usage and Procedure Logging (UPL) needs to be activated in Production System and available in Solution Manager.
Note: RFC-connection betweenanalysis systemand SolMan needs to be set-up
4. Custom Code Migration Worklist
Execute report to display the Custom Code Migration Worklist
Contained are objects in use that are affected by simplification items:
- Syntactically (e.g. material number field length extension)
- Semantically
- Use of no more existing functionality
- Use of new functionality is mandatory
Not in scope: SAP HANA code optimization (e.g. for performance)
SAP-Notes will be referenced to explain the necessary resolution tasks
Code adaptation may happen before (using transports) or after System Conversion (e.g. for initial dev system conversion)
To reduce and prioritize the work list use the UPL data collected in Solution Manager
NOTE: Prepare your ABAP code for SAP HANA in general
In general existing ABAP code runs on SAP HANA as before (exception: DB specific code, aforementioned incompatibilities due to simplification).
However: Database migration to SAP HANA is a good opportunity for tuning!
Details can be found in SAP note 1912445 and SDN-Article: http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-46714
Note: the steps on this slide are independent of the changes from Custom Code Migration Worklist (CCMW)

Your transition options in a nutshell
SAP S/4HANA can be deployed on-premise or in the cloud, offering customers a choice what fits best for them.
Besides the decision what target infrastructure fits best, also the starting point of a project may vary. There are basically three different implementation scenarios how a customer can move to SAP S/4HANA (you might even find combinations of those within the same customer):
The linked documents explain the possible roads to SAP S/4HANA along typical customer scenarios, and give an overview how to technically deploy SAP S/4HANA and move data into the new infrastructure. The blog focuses on the on-premise edition of SAP S/4HANA for existing customers (i.e. 1. in the list above). The white paper takes a more comprehensive look on all three scenarios above for both on-premise and cloud deployments. |

SAP S/4HANA: Extensibility & Custom Code Adaptation
Context & Summary | Read on | |
---|---|---|
Extending SAP S/4HANA (side-by-side or in-app)
Extensibility covers a broad spectrum of topics that allows customers and partners to adapt standard business software to their business needs. It ranges from business configuration; layout adaptation of user interface (UI), forms, and reports; custom fields and logic; integration; and custom terminology and translation to customer-specific applications. Extensibility in the SAP® S/4HANA suite can be categorized into two main parts: side-by-side extensibility through SAP HANA® Cloud Platform, and in-app extensibility through built-in capabilities. |
Overview blog about extending SAP S/4HANA

Custom Code Assessment & Adaptation
When converting your system to SAP S/4HANA, you need to assess and possibly adapt this custom code. This activity is mainly valid for on-premise transitions, since custom code can not be carried over that way into a cloud infrastructure. Many of the steps for custom code assessment and adaptation are similar compared to moving to SAP HANA in general. Specific steps for SAP S/4HANA will be detailed out as SAP S/4HANA evolves. |

SAP S/4HANA 1511 - SPS 00 & 1511 FPS 01 : What's NEW & What's NOT !!
SAP S/4HANA 1511 - FPS 01 (released 3rd FEB 2016)
Updates of this release will be studied and highlighted here.
Application Area | Area | Item Description |
---|---|---|
Supported Industries | 1511 FPS 01 --> +2 | 1511 FPS 01 - Two more industries added to "supported" industries list
|
(A) Higher Education and Research | To-Analyze | |
(B) Defense and Security ** supported "with Restrictions" | Defense and Security ** supported "with Restrictions" Restrictions from being used ( i ) Manufacturers Part Number (MPN) enhancement from from DIMP Industry Add-on (ii) Part Interchangeability enhancement from the former DIMP Industry addon (iii) Valuated GPD (Grouping, Pegging, Distribution) - Valuated Project Stock (iv) GPD use of Stock Transport Order (STO) with Delivery Document (v) (PDN) Product Designer Work Bench >> Replaced by Product Structure Management (vi) For Customer Stock-Load, instead of MIGO transaction MT711B, use MB11 until fixed (vii) IS-ADEC-WTY (viii) Production Order Split does not support GPD | |
Master Data | ||
Business Partner | The Business Partner approach became Mandatory in SAP S/4HANA 1511 00. The Business Partner - capable of centrally managing master data for business partners, customers, and vendors. However there were restrictions with BP -
That supported-field-list has increased. With FPS 01 - list of fields delivered has increased. Of interest are Incoterm, Customer-General data, fields, many Additional ( LFM2 Table) fields, (LFM1) Purchasing Fields and LFA1 table fields were added. | |
SAP S/4HANA 1511 - Initial Version (SPS 00)
This document is an effort to captures a summarized view of "Simplification-Listing" & the restrictions of KEY Functionalities.
Base information has been referred from SAP Notes, Release Information, S/4HANA 1511 sap help.
Application Area | Area | Item Description |
---|---|---|
Financials | ||
General | Simplified Data Model in SAP S/4HANA Financials | With SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition identically-named DDL SQL views (compatibility views) replace totals and application index tables in Finance. These views are generated from DDL sources. The replacement takes place during the conversion using SUM. Related data is saved to backup tables. The compatibility views ensure that database SELECTs still work. However, write access (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, MODIFY) was removed from SAP standard, or has to be removed from custom code. For more information, see SAP Note 1976487 |
Asset Accounting | Asset Accounting | Data structures in Asset Accounting have been changed massively |
Controlling | Profit and Loss Planning and Profit Center Planning | CO-OM planning, profit and loss planning, and profit center planning are now covered by Integrated Business Planning. For more information, see SAP Note 2081400 |
Controlling | Transfer Prices/ Parallel Delta Versions | With the merge of FI and CO into the Universal Journal a new approach for parallel valuations has been implemented. Existing solutions based on parallel delta versions for actuals in Controlling have to be adapted. |
Cash Management | Cash Management | Classic Cash Management is replaced by the new SAP Cash Management powered by SAP HANA. If you used the classical Cash Management and convert to SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition, you need to activate the new SAP Cash Management. For a more information, see SAP Note 2149337 |
Credit Management | Auto-Migration | The tools that support an automated migration from FI-AR Credit Management to FIN-FSCM Credit Management cannot be used in SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 |
Restrictions 1511 sps 00 |
CO EC-CS |
2233501 - SAP S/4HANA, on-premise 1511: Restriction Note for S/4HANA Finance
2127080 - Release restrictions for SAP Simple Finance on-premise edition 1503 apply to 1511 too
Fiori Fact Sheets in the area of Accounting cannot be used
CO allocation do not support multiple currencies (this restriction is planned to be resolved with SP01)
For the consolidation solution EC-CS, you can no longer define a custom characteristic using the data element or domain MATNR (or any derived). If you are already using a custom characteristic based on the data element or domain MATNR, you cannot upgrade to S/4 HANA. Appropriate transition pre-checks are in place to give the customer the opportunity to check such a situation already on start release |
Master Data | ||
Business Partner | Business Partner | The Business Partner approach is mandatory in SAP S/4HANA. The Business Partner is now capable of centrally managing master data for business partners, customers, and vendors. With current development, the Business Partner is the single point of entry to create, edit, and display master data for business partners, customers, and vendors. • maintenance of recipient master data is not possible because Application Equipment & Tools Management is not released with this release • ONLY 85 customer & supplier fields in transaction BP are delivered, others cannot be maintained. |
Product Master | MRP in Material Master | The MRP functionality has been optimized for Material Master in SAP S/4HANA for simplification purposes. For rmore information, see SAP Note 224371 . Restrictions : (sNOTE# 2237351) • Source list is not considered by MRP sourcing. As workaround use purchasing info records relevant for automatic sourcing. • HANA MRP does not yet create capacity requirements. As workaround use classic MRP (transaction MD01). |
Logistics - MMO : SCM & Manufacturing | ||
MM-IM Inventory Management | Simplified inventory management data model | Significant changes of the data model. 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 range of other attributes. Material document data is stored in MATDOC only. 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. Adoption effort on DDIC level for customer appends and coding adjustments for performance critical parts may be required Restrictions : Printing & Archiving of Material Documents is not possible. It is planned to be realized for the next Service Pack. (snote# 2237351) |
MM-IM - Inventory Management | Material Valuation | To achieve a significant increase of transactional data throughput for goods movements, we recommend to deactivate the statistical moving average. Caution : The deactivation is not reversible. The deactivation of the statistical moving average is the consequence of a new lock behavior for materials with price control "Standard". |
PLM - Product Lifecycle Management | BOM, Routing, and Production Version | Only BOMs with valid production version are considered during BOM explosion. Therefore, it is mandatory for manufacturing BOMs to maintain the product version for correct BOM explosion. For all BOMs in the system, we recommend to maintain product versions using the report Product Version Migration for BOM (transaction code CS_BOM_PRODVER_MIGRATION). |
QM - Quality Management | ITS services for results recording, quality notifications, and quality certificates | The ITS services for the Internet Application Components (IAC) in QM are not available SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511. Instead, use the corresponding QM transactions in SAP GUI for HTML, or use the Web Dynpro applications, which are part of the PFCG role for NWBC Quality Inspector (SAP_SR_QUALITY_INSPECT_5). |
PP - Production Planning | Process Control Messages Control Instructions | These functions will be consolidated. Once the successor functions are available, these transaction codes will be replaced in a future release |
PP | MRP-LIVE | The HANA-Optimized MRP ---------------------------- 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 - Optimizes Performance * 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. * MRP Live determines the sequence in which materials have to be planned across several plants. ----------------------------------------- Classic MRP is still available as an interim solution, which at the moment has to be used in the following cases: (1) Capacity requirements shall be created by MRP (2) For creating MRP lists. ----------------------------------------------- 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-Live Limitations ** The actual benefit of MRP-LIVE will depend on the following: MRP features used, Number of materials planned using MRP-LIVE, Number of materials planned using Classic MRP, Number of low-level codes. In MRP Live, following functions are not supported: *BAdIs no Longer Supported * MRP Live does not support net change planning in the planning horizon. The planning horizon is ignored. * Multi-level, make-to-order planning (transaction MD50) is not optimized for MRP Live. * Individual project planning (transaction MD51) is not optimized for MRP Live. * The new MRP Live is designed to be faster but will not support all these existing business processes right away.
Custom-Code check - LONG LIST of checks.....….. MRP Live is implemented in SQLScript running on the database server as opposed to classic ABAP code, which is performed on the application server. Any enhancement or BAdI implementation of the classic MRP run does not work with MRP Live. A new set of AMDP BADIs will be available for MRP Live from SAP S/4HANA on-premise edition 1603. BAdI implementations of the classic MRP have to be translated into AMDP BAdI implementations if still required. list of BADIs |
PP | Simplified Sourcing | MAJOR Logic change & Simplification makes ERP sourcing and PP/DS sourcing become more similar.
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
Impact on Customer Coding If you implemented BADI MD_MODIFY_SOURCE in SAP ERP, then one should check if the intended functionality still works. Also check changes in alignment with "MRP-LIVE" - Optimized MRP processing. |
SCM-CIF | Interfacing with CIF | CIF does not work with LONG Material Number "The Core Interface which is used to transfer master data from S4HANA to another application like SAP EWM, SAP TM or SAP SCM does not support the new long material numbers. In case the automated exchange of master data using CIF is required the material number field length extension has to be deactivated in the following IMG-activity: In Customizing for S4HANA, choose -> Cross-Application Components -> General Application Functions -> Field Length Extension -> uncheck: Extended Material Number" |
LE-TRA | Transportation Management | LE-TRA Using LE –TRA is not supported. Instead use “Strategic Solution” SAP Transport Management.
Integration Scenario : (SAP TM 9.3 SP02 & SAP S4/HANA, on-premise edition 1511 SP0, FP1) Supported Scenarios : * Order integration * Invoice integration * Sales order scheduling
Not Supported Scenarios : * Self-billing is currently not supported. : In SAP S/4HANA, the setting to activate the self-billing process is not available in master data. This will be resolved with SAP S/4HANA FP1. * Invoice document creation/printing is not supported for forwarding processes (LSP scenario; SD based). Billing simulation (print preview) and printing of billing document created for SAP TM are not supported. * Intercompany billing is not supported. Automatic creation of intra-system supplier invoice and posting to agency business are not supported. |
LE-WM | W/h Management | Usage of LE-WM not supported. Recommendation is to use "Strategic Solution" - SAP Extended W/h Management (SAP EWM)
Integration Scenario : SAP EWM 9.3 SP03 and SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 Supported Scenarios * SAP EWM 9.3 can be connected to SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 and supports the same scenarios as with SAP ERP Enhancement Package 7
Not-Supported Scenarios * The returns process for stock transfer orders between two EWM warehouses via SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition does not fully work. However, you can use a new stock transfer order to reverse the process. This will be resolved with SAP S/4HANA FP2. |
Procurement | ||
General | Co-Deployment with SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) | If you run SAP SRM and SAP Business Suite on one server, you cannot convert your system to SAP S/4HANA. It is not possible to install the SAP SRM software components within the SAP S/4HANA stack. Accordingly, the related conversion pre-check prevents such systems from being converted. If you run SAP SRM and Business Suite on separate servers, you can continue to integrate SAP SRM with the converted SAP S/4HANA system |
SAP SLC & SAP S/4HANA - Sourcing & Procurement | Supplier Category Management | Supplier and Category Management in SAP S/4HANA is CURRENTLY not identical with the SAP SLC functionalities Not in SAP S/4HANA All sell-side processes: Supplier Registration and Supplier Data Maintenance Several buy-side processes: Supplier Hierarchies, Supplier Classification, Area of Validity in Supplier Evaluation, Supplier Qualification, Certificate Management, External Tasks in Activity Management |
MDG-S | Master Data Governance for Supplier | MDG-S : After the conversion to S/4HANA, customers using standalone SAP SLC system & communicating with SAP ERP have to use MDG-S (Master Data Governance for Suppliers) for supplier distribution. The MDG-S license is not part of the SAP S/4HANA. & implementation is separate project |
MDM | SAP SRM MDM Catalog | SAP SRM MDM Catalog* >> Limited Functionality available in 1511. * Roadmap-item. Existing SRM MDM can be integrated with SAP S/4HANA 1511 as punch-out catalog via OCI |
DIMP | ||
Automotive | Long Material Number | The industry solution for long material numbers has been replaced by a native long material number in SAP S/4HANA. That replacement has a technical impact, no business impact. Both Material# & Material Description are now 40Char. Extended Mat# - is not visible in LIS (snote# 2232362) Customer and supplier mat# mainly used in communication remain 35Char (snote#2232366) Concatenated Mat# in archived data (snote# 2232391) – is being worked on |
General | DIMP Added to the CORE | Migration of software component ECC-DIMP to S/4 HANA
Business processes of DIMP added to CORE, however there are Restrictions with processes. Refer to Industry Restrictions SAP Notes. |
Sales & Distribution | ||
Analytics | Logistics Information System (LO-LIS) for Analytics obsolete | Simplification in SD analytics follows the overall analytics strategy in SAP S/4 HANA. Instead of prebuilt aggregates and redundant data for analytical purposes, the SAP S/4HANA Analytics approach is based on ODATA and Open CDS (ABAP-managed CDS = Core Data Services) directly on top of the original database. Corresponding analytics content will be provided within SAP S/4HANA |
Foreign Trade | Foreign Trade process covered by SAP GTS | With SAP S/4HANA on-premise edition 1511, the business requirements for foreign trade are covered by SAP Global Trade Services (GTS).
SAP GTS can be natively integrated with S/4HANA with limitations.
Please refer sNOTE# 2226408 - Global Trade Services and S/4HANA oP: compatibility information & SAP #sNOTE 2238122 , 2214213
With S/4HANA on-premise edition 1511, the following restrictions apply:
Not Supported - Automatic creation of Intrastat declarations : • SD dispatches and receipts (report RVEXST00, transaction VE01) • MM receipts (report RMIMST00, transaction MEIS) • MM dispatches (report RMEXST00, transaction VI99) • Intercompany billing receipts (report RVIVST00, transaction VI98)
Not Supported - Transfer of S/4 Docs to an external GTS System • SD dispatches and receipts (report /SAPSLL/IS_SD, transaction /SAPSLL/IS_SD • MM receipts (report /SAPSLL/IS_MM, transaction /SAPSLL/IS_MM) • MM dispatches (report /SAPSLL/IS_MM_RET, transaction /SAPSLL/IS_MM_RET) • intercompany billing receipts (report /SAPSLL/IS_SD_IB, transaction /SAPSLL/IS_SD_IB)
Not-Supported Intrastat Declarations : • third party declarants • Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) • Greece • Services in Intrastat declarations are not supported |
Commodity Management | Commodity Management Sales | If Commodity Business Functions are active in your system, you cannot convert the system to SAP S/4HANA. A conversion pre-check will check the use of these Business Functions and prevent the conversion if they are active |
Billing | Output Management Simplified output management in SD Billing | With SAP S/4HANA a new output management approach is in place. The target architecture is based on Adobe Document Server and Adobe Formsonly.
Billing documents that are migrated from legacy systems and for which NAST based output have been determined, can be processed with this technology. For all new billing documents the new output management is used.
Therefore, in the area billing / customer invoice you need to adapt the configuration settings related to output management. |
Contract Billing | Contract Billing | Contract Billing is not available in SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511. If you used Contract Billing in SAP ERP and plan to move to SAP S/4HANA, you have to remodel your business processes. |
Revenue Recognition | ERP SD Revenue Recognition >> SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting | 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 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 |
Credit Management | FI-AR-CR >> FIN-FSCM-CR | The FI-AR-CR Credit Management is not available with SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511 The functional equivalent in SAP S/4HANA is SAP Credit Management (FIN-FSCM-CR) One 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 NOTE : 2217124
"Auto-Migration Tool not available" - please check comments in "Credit Management" section above. |
SD-Pricing | Data Model Changes in Pricing | • Introduction of PRCD_ELEMENTS & PRCD_ELEM_DRAFT • Data Elements Changed • Length of several data elements changed • “Obsolete Fields” not available in PRCD_ELEMENTS ** Cookbooks provided by SAP, however code-adaption Custom-CODE will require definitive efforts.
Post-processing report PRC_MIG_POST_PROCESSING ASAP

Beginners in SAP-HANA: Hope all these information at one place would help you to understand it better
A blog from Sridhar Garige (Cognizant US)
Obvious Questions and Answers which almost all beginners in SAP HANA
We have been hearing about HANA since the beginning of this decade or even earlier. Initially I thought it was just a new database. Thought, may be SAP does not want to share the market revenue with any other database provider (competitors); therefore they came up with their own database.
Later I had a notion that HANA is only for BI/BW folks, so how about for ABAPer? Everyone used to talk about analysis and modelling. So, I think, it is a piece of cake for BI/BW modelers. Then ABAP…?
Then the rumor started in market; ABAP going to be extinct in near future. I used to wonder, if ABAP is going to die, then who in this whole universe would support those tons and tons of ABAP code written in the history of SAP Implementations? What will happen to all those time, effort and money spent in those large and small scales SAP Implementations? I have spent more time in researching what is HANA than actually learning what HANA is. Internet is full of information regarding HANA but finding the right answers for your curiosity or doubt, is an uphill task.
I spent and some time and gathered some information from other sources to know what is HANA and who needs it and why?
Hope all these information at one place would help you to understand it better.
- Q. Is SQL a pre-requisite to learn HANA?
Ans:No.
SAP HANA is like any other relational database. Having Database Concepts and basic knowledge of SQL before starting SAP HANA is an advantage, but it is not a pre-requisite. You can always catch up with these concepts while learning SAP HANA.
- Q. Without SAP BI/BW/BO knowledge, can ABAPer learn HANA?
Ans: Yes.
BI is the Data Warehousing package implementation tool from SAP. Data Warehousing Concepts in SAP BI will help understand the implementation aspects from BW on HANA perspective.
But unless you plan to a BW on HANA consultant, you necessarily do not have to learn BI. Similarly BW and BO are Business Warehouse and Business Object respectively. If you have prior BW experience, understanding modeling concept and transferring data SAP Business Suite System to HANA would be child’s play for you. But, we can easily learn HANA modeling concept even if we do not have current exposure to BW. But it would be a must for those consultants who are eyeing the role of BW on HANA expert.
By now, I have understood that BO is a front end reporting tool. Prior knowledge in reporting tools would be an advantage but, we can always learn BO concepts while learning HANA.
But, if you already have BI/BW/BO knowledge, then BW on HANA work would be the role you would be targeting to (if you are planning to shift to HANA).
Q. Is SAP ABAP skilled required to learn HANA?
Ans: No.
If you are an SAP ABAP programmer, then implementing the business logic and model would be fun for you. You must have already heard about SAP ABAP on HANA. Let’s put a full stop to the rumor that ABAPer are vanishing. With HANA, ABAPer would be smarter and more in demand. Only ABAP on HANA consultant would need ABAP knowledge as pre-requisite.
Q. Is HANA for functional folks or technical folks or modelers?
Ans: All.
Q. SAP HANA claims to be so fast. Which programming language is it written in?
Ans: World famous C++.
Q. HANA is about RAM, so can we increase the memory size of traditional database and get similar performance like HANA?
Ans: No.
We would definitely get better performance if we increase the memory size of traditional database, but it would not be comparable to what we get in HANA. Because, HANA is not just about database. It is a hybrid in-memory database which is combination of niche Hardware and Software innovation as stated below:
In-Memory storage (RAM): Processing data from RAM itself is 1 million time faster than accessing data from hard disk. In practical scenarios, it might is around 10x to 3600x time faster. Also, in today’s world RAM is cheap and affordable expense wise.
Read time in RAM: 2 MB/ms/core (2 megabyte per millisecond per core).
So to scan 1 GB of data, it would approximately take 0.5 s/core. For 100 GB it would take 50 s/core. If you have 50 cores in the hardware, scanning 100 GB data would take just 1 second. Huh!! Quantitative numbers always clarifies better than paragraphs of sentences. Isn’t it?
Multi core Architecture, Partitioning & Enormous Parallel Processing: Servers are available with one node up to 64 cores (and even more). So partitioning the data foot prints in different node and running the query parallel is the innovation which HANA uses so effectively. This is perfect example of both hardware and software innovation.
Columnar Storage: Contiguous memory allocation faster reading with sequential memory access. Remember, column store not only makes reading faster. HANA has built the column store is such a way that it is efficient for both READ and WRITE.
Quick aggregation (normally aggregations are expensive) and also supports parallel processing.
Searching in column store is must faster than row storage (provided you are selecting only some sets of columns, not all).
Data Compression: Minimize data footprint through Compression i.e. less data movement means faster performance.
Idea is remove repetitive data, build a vector for the data and point it with an integer (and integer is less expensive than reading a string).
Q. Is Computer Architecture is changing?
Ans: Yes
Q. How does Column Storage actually make it faster?
Ans: Column store is divided into three parts:
- Main
- L2 Delta
- L1 Delta/cache
Persisted data are saved in Main Memory, all buffer and transaction changes are kept in L2 Delta and High Inserts / Deletes / Updates etc in L1 Delta
- L1-delta
- Accepts all incoming data requests
- Stores records in row format (write-optimized)
- Fast insert and delete
- Fast field update
- Fast record projection
- No data compression
- Holds 10,000 to 100,000 rows per single-node
- L2-delta
- The second stage of the record life cycle
- Stores records in column format
- Dictionary encoding for better memory usage
- Unsorted dictionary
- Requiring secondary index structures to optimally
- Support point query access patterns
- Well suited to store up to 10 million rows
- Main
- Final data format
- Stores records in column format
- Highest compression rate
- Sorted dictionary
- Positions in dictionary stored in a bit-packed manner
- The dictionary is also compressed
So the smart innovation of L1, L2 and Main memory and combination of all three, make data read and write, really fast and effective.
Q. How can we decide whether to go for Row or Column storage?
Row Store:
If you want to report on all the columns of a table then the row store is more suitable because reconstructing the complete row is one of the most expensive operations for a column-based table.
Column Store:
If you want to store in table huge amounts of data that should be aggregated and analyzed then column based storage is more suitable.
