Course Summary

In our previous courses, “Key Technical Topics in a System Conversion to SAP S/4HANA” and “Key Functional Topics in a System Conversion to SAP S/4HANA” we focused on the technical and functional aspects you need to manage during a system conversion. With “Guide Your SAP S/4HANA Project to Success” in 2020 we answered some of the most commonly asked questions from customers who are planning to transition to SAP S/4HANA.

This course is targeted at functional experts in the logistics area. The focus is on new features and functions in SAP S/4HANA. This means the course is relevant for consultants in both greenfield and brownfield SAP S/4HANA projects.

The course begins with new features and functions in the Order to Cash area, and you’ll get some insights into Settlement Management and preliminary billing documents. You’ll then be introduced to some of the changes in the Plan to Product area, with process examples around production planning and the embedded Extended Warehouse Management and SAP S/4HANA Transport Management. The course concludes with a look at new functionality in Procure to Pay. And while we focus on procurement, it’s important to understand that the same technical platform is used in other processes too, so you can use what you’ve learned here in other areas as well.

The course does not cover the key changes you need to make in the logistics space before a system conversion – these topics were addressed in previous courses.
