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 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 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

The user experience is very different and very confusing for the users to learn and begin to use.

It was amazing. Had a great time with the product. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for something like this. I can’t believe how great it worked and I had a good time. Everyone asks me about it all the time and it’s fun. I wouldn’t want to not have it.

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.

We are using it for planning and reporting purposes. at the very beginning having some issues with deployment and user acceptance. Business case is also consolidation and intra company charges. It is used globally both in europe and the US. Very good product overall and easy to handle so far.
  • planning
  • budgeting
  • 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.

  • If there is an outage
  • less control over security since SAP manages with RISE

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.
