I use it for order management, order tracking, getting sales activity report, order review, invoices, to get our various documents, Checking our material availability in our warehouses. We use it to manage our customers and orders in a better, safe and more effective way. Also, we use it for our internal inventory management and view to process orders fast.
  • Sales Activity Report
  • Sales Order Management
  • Invoices
  • Customer Account Management
  • Big reports take a lot of time to finally download. This time should be reduced.
  • There can be a search button to find anything I want instead of knowing the exact transaction.
  • Dark mode can be made available optional.
For order management, customer account management, SAP is the best solution. It is easier to use and can give many reports in detail which we can download in Excel. Sometimes yes, it is difficult to learn everything because it has so many transactions and functionality but with time I just got used to it. I feel now more confident with SAP S/4HANA Cloud.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud is used for Finance, EH&S and Supply chain Management and currently we are in HEC and planning to move into RISE
  • High system availability
  • Standard Functionalities via Fiori apps
  • Extensibility via BTP
  • Clean core needs to be adopted for all modules especially EWM
  • User interface needs to be fine-tuned for new SAP users easy access
  • More third party adaptors
SAP S/4HANA Cloud is well suited for standard business functions but when it always comes to customization based on customer needs.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud is currently the foundation for our finance and quickly becoming the foundation for our manufacturing. In my area we utilize the analytical capabilities of SAP S/4HANA Cloud and Fiori to provide live reporting to our users and stake holders. For us SAP S/4HANA Cloud has resulted in the ability to run more reporting on live data and has resulted in cleaner data overall for reporting.
  • Increased number of standard CDS views
  • Wide range of standard Fiori application out of the box
  • Performance of data query
  • Performance of loading Fiori Applications
  • CDS lacks some of the functions available in SQL
SAP S/4HANA Cloud is a very good solution for large scale manufacturing with clean data. The system performs very well with large amounts of data when it is supplied with a good quality of data. SAP S/4HANA Cloud is very well suited to customers which are more used to web interfaces, use mobile devices or tablets. For smaller business or businesses in which the business process is not willing to compromise to business practices expected by SAP this solution may not be appropriate.

We are starting to use the SAP S/4HANA Cloud and also using the BTP products. We are working on RTI and GTS solution right now. These tools are great additions and easy to use. We are making a good progress with less infrastructure and development costs. Security is the area that we would like the solution need to be better at and make it easier and more users friendly.
  • Process Automation
  • Standaradization
  • Performance
  • Security
  • Business processes
  • Integration
Its suiting well us in the RTI areas or the planning area.
We have started using the tools now and can't comment on less appropriate right now.

We implement SAP S/4HANA Cloud for end users. Each project varies in terms of length and difficulty. We find that there is always a solution using SAP
  • End to end communication
  • process flows
  • product lifecycle management
  • a better system for outputting error messages
I find that it is always a viable tool for the job and can find many scenerioes where it is applicable

We were forced to upgrade as SAP version we have is being deprecated in 2027
  • Easy to scale up
  • Allows for simpler infrastructure to mange
  • Provide support to older version instead forcing deprecation of them to push for SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Older version was just fine for our need that we didn't need to upgrade necessarily

Security changes are very time consuming and require lots of back and forth with the tester to determine the actual requirements
The user experience is very different and very confusing for the users to learn and begin to use.
  • Data
  • Friendly interface
  • Ease of use
  • Easier to add tiles and required info
It is a complicated product and requires a tremendous amount of setup and testing.

we developing our own solution, and suporting other company more useful with SAP. SAP S/4 HANA is more flexiblity. i think many company base on SAP, more helpful. But, It's little bit difficult use new syntax. So, i think we need more information about studying new syntax. I want more information about that.

We run our company on SAP S4 HANA.
  • Integrated data source.
  • Covers all areas of business.
  • Worldwide footprint.
  • Slowness.
  • Not a Fiori fan.
  • More descriptive error messages.
EWM is completely configurable to any need. However, the complexity of EWM can sometimes be a challenge when end users do not follow processes and S4 and EWM are out of sync.

We went live in August 2023 for one of our service lines and are currently working on moving several additional service lines to S4. We went greenfield, and the goal was to implement as close to standard as possible. We wanted to be on S4 before 2027, not have to compete with other companies for external expertise, and utilize the more modern user interface.
  • Modern user interface.
  • Hana increases data retrieval processing time.
  • Standardizing processes.
  • Security is difficult to understand and manage.
Its scalability and wide range of cloud offerings make it ideal.

  • fprecasting
  • partner reconciliation
  • cash out reports
Very user friendly and easy to use. It is a pleasure working with. I think from an integration perspective with other products (non SAP) it could be better. designed well and really made for end users. Could be a little more flexible in linkin external information. Overall a good product for our scenarios.

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.
