Main ERP system for all of our SST sites in both US & EU. All of our manufacturing is processed as well as other SAP environments are uploaded to load to BI/BW reporting. We do not use SAP for financial consolidation at this time.
  • Ease of use
  • User friendly
  • Accessibility
  • more reporting focused on mass data for audit purposes
  • More opportunities for mass uploads without dev
  • More common reporting for finance
It is a good system but as all companies find, often the business gets hung up in customizing. With more research was done to see common customization for reporting and such for similiarities.

I use it for IT Audit. Testing configurations across Accounting, Finance, Asset Management, Tax, Revenue, Financial Reporting and other business areas.
  • Faster than on-prem ECC
  • Load Management is better
  • Connectivity is easier
  • If there is an outage
  • less control over security since SAP manages with RISE
Best solution out currently, very much so for an organization with so many needs

We use it for demonstrating it to our prospects and customers. It has the best practices incorporated for key LOBs and also available for multiple countries. It addresses the problems of long build cycles of on-prem systems and also keeping system updated is a pain, With a 6 month release cycles with improvements and also the simple steps to activate any new process, it has become easier for us to improve our overall demo capabilities and readiness and also shrink the sales/pre-sales cycles
  • The inbuilt collaboration with the SAP Help
  • Standard processes ready for adoption
  • Feasibility to build to extensions and keep core clean
  • In some areas in the Logistics like - Bar code reading
  • Some features missing when compared to On-Prem/Private cloud to be incorporated
  • Inability to do a mass upload of pure Finance AP invoices. We had to build an extension for a customer
Small and medium enterprises with appetite for standard adoption

Scope : Finance Business Processes
I'm a Cloud Finance SME and the main problems we are facing is the tax reporting capabilities within Cloud. We don't have complete LATAM localizations yet and we need to develop this using external partners specialized in Tax reporting. SAP only focuses on Federal Tax Solutions per Country but doesn't focus on Provincial requirements.
Another problem we focused is that we have not been able in the Cloud to have an E2E Refurbishment Process ( when a material has to be repaired from a maintenance process)

Finally we struggled in Fixed assets to enable additional depreciation areas and Asset classes it was not allowed. from a GL perspective we could not adopt the YCOA Chart of Account and we had to invest a lot of time transforming the COA into the desired GL's - this was easier in S4 On Prem where you could create more Chart of Accounts.

  • Fiori Front End is great - the tiles are really well organized.
  • The Integration it has with Concur and Success Factors is easy and straightforward and implementation effort was minimal
  • The Analytic KPI's for Finance Overview is a huge improvement.
  • Reporting to SAC is something working very well with us
  • Refurbishment E2E process is not supported
  • Mining Industry in the Cloud Solutions I'm not aware they exist or integrations with Typical Mining Software related to Production
  • You can't create additional Chart of Accounts only YCOA
  • When we need a customized solution it's more expensive then before ( we were on Premise )
Public Cloud is good for smaller companies that have a limited scope and are all in for a quick deployment adopting the Best Practises.
It is ideal for new customers not on SAP before.
It is not good for a bigger company that has unique Custom processes that define their competitive advantage.

I work in the security team administering access to users in S/4
  • User Fiori content
  • Security loging
  • user administration
  • Fiori user experience is inconsistent across sap systems
  • old functionality from ECC can still be used in S/4
  • Role authorization content for Fiori apps should be improved
  • SAP Support quality should be improved
S/4 is the best ERP in the market.

  • uptime

  • cut over planning
  • practice run was not a full conversion
smaller shops that do not have the hardware or people to manage the landscape. if the existing equipment is at end of life. we did not move all systems to RISE. If the process or system is at end of life it is not worth the effort. keep it on site.
