I have used SAP S/4 HANA in my organization for the past two years. It involves implementing SAP into client Business Processes into their Warehousing and Material Management. We have helped clients transition from the Legacy system to the S/4 system and Greenfield and Brownfield implementation. S/4 Hana gives clients leverage to integrate their Warehouse using SAP EWM into various processes, including STO Process, External and Internal refurbishing, stock return, and Return to Vendor, among other processes. It essentially allows the client to integrate their various business processes, including procurement, sales, and stock transfer, to other warehouses, providing them the luxury of tracking and streamlining the business process without any hassle. SAP S/4 Cloud also makes the physical inventory process easy by using ad hoc, cycle counting, or annual physical inventory processes efficiently and comparing it with stock in the warehouse. The scope of my use case involves Implementing SAP S/4 HANA into the clients' new Plant or warehouse through SAP MM, EWM implementation after configuring it into the SAP, doing the Smoke test, SIT, assisting the user during UAT, and finally implementing it for Production use.
  • SAP S/4 HANA Cloud users have flexibility, whether migrating Data from a legacy system to S/4 or converting Data.
  • Data Security and Cost-effectiveness are other benefits associated with the S/4 HANA cloud, highlighted by clients insisting on implementing it.
  • The S/4 cloud can be used in one or more plants for the client site, and there is scope for significant scalability. In my experience, the implementation has been very smooth.
  • The level of customization that accommodates specific client businesses could be better. There are times when we get a query about a very unique business process and find it difficult to adapt it to the cloud.
One of my clients required the implementation of the S/4 HANA cloud on a tight timeline, as their go-live was supposed to be earlier than scheduled. In that case, the flexibility and less implementation time made it easy for the client site. Sure, there are various use cases of the S/4 HANA cloud, which made our work easier using it as it provides integrations to various other cases like Warehousing, Logistics, and CRM, among others.

S/4 is our main system of record, it encompasses different lines of businesses, and is responsible for storing, organizing, and managing data for, e.g. HR, transportation, SCM, production planning, material, suppliers, customers, etc
  • it's a robust system, and it's hardly unavailable or unstable
  • over time, it's getting easier to use and more user friendly
  • when there is a problem, it really hard to troubleshoot
  • I miss mobile apps
bigger companies, especially production companies, may make better use of it. especially in combination and integration to other cloud SAP systems, like concur, success factors, etc

For accounting we use SAP. I use it for withholding tax reports and general ledger line item reports. We have to review and repost the entries, and we ensure that tax compliance is properly done. SAP is a tool that helps to easily extract the Withholding tax reports and to determine TCS liability.
  • Attachments
  • Speed
  • Data synchronisation
  • It should not log out on intervals.
  • Specify download location each time.
  • Apps must be easy to locate.
For withholding tax reports, TCS reports for viewing and reviewing the accounting entries, for reviewing the attachments, GL reports, for master data management and inventory management, SAP is a great tool to use. SAP helps us to keep data secure and share the data easily with team members.

It was very helpful to use for my organization which is medium size business, it was very easy to integrate. It is also very helpful to manage the access of users, extract data.
  • Integration is amazing
  • Freedom to manage access due to different TCodes
  • Good to manage business
  • Integration takes time better for quick processing time.
  • Automation isn't advanced.
  • External process maintain.
Handling businesses that require CRM, especially big companies. The project management tools available are great to use and keep track of customer details and other information. I also like the fact it is able to maintain transaction details encrypted and safer from third-party users. The product is a tad bit expensive but worth buying.

it shows you real-time­ data. Its magic is in making the tricky parts of running a business—like finance­, supply chain, and manufacturing—much easier. Another gre­at thing is that it's designed with users in mind. This make­s it easier to start using. Also, it can fit any size of company or any kind of busine­ss. This means you can make smart decisions e­asily.
I mostly uses it in finance etc. and it is working as expected.
  • Scalability: SAP S/4HANA Cloud, based in the­ cloud, can grow with your business. It fits any company, big or small. Infrastructure overhauls? Not a conce­rn with this adaptive platform.
  • Adaptability: The versatility of SAP S/4HANA Cloud is a game­-changer. It caters to your specific industry ne­eds. Got unique processe­s or strict standards? Customization is easy.
  • Automation of Processes: Routine­ tasks? The platform has this covered. It cuts down on e­rrors by reducing manual work. With operations streamline­d, employees can focus on the­ bigger picture.
  • continuous improvement in documentation could further empower users to unlock its full potential.
  • Support can be better
  • Learning curve and more simplified training
Big businesse­s with a lot of moving parts do great with SAP S/4HANA Cloud. It's a whiz at connecting differe­nt parts and growing with you. It's like your personal crystal ball, providing real-time­ figures and helps you make de­cisions quickly. If you're in an industry with unique nee­ds or have people working on the­ go, this platform's flexibility is a big plus.
While If you're a small business, like­ a mom and pop shop with simple day-to-day tasks, or working with just a few tech e­xperts, SAP S/4HANA Cloud might be a bit too much. Changing your ways could be a tough nut to crack, and if you're­ on a tight budget, the fee­s for the license and se­t-up might break the bank. So, looking at your business’s size­, layers of complexity, and vibe is ke­y to seeing if this platform fits like a glove­.

I use it for claims purchase requisition. Provide training to relevant staff members on how to create and manage purchase requisitions in SAP S/4HANA Cloud. Ensure integration with other modules, such as finance and inventory management, to maintain accurate records. Attach any supporting documents or notes to the purchase requisition if needed. If similar purchase requisitions have been created in the past, you may have the option to copy from existing documents to save time.

We are SAP Gold Partners, we implement SAP public and private cloud for our customers. SAP S/4HANA Cloud addresses problems such as infrastructure management, upscaling and downscaling of resources as per requirement, provides reliability and high availability of SAP servers. We recommend either public or private cloud to our customers based on their specific use cases.
  • Infrastructure management
  • High availablity
  • Upgrades
  • Response time during upgrade activities
  • Response time on service request
  • Documentation for public cloud
SAP S/4HANA Cloud is suitable where the customer doesn't want to manage the infrastructure behind SAP servers. It is suitable if the customer wants high availability of SAP servers and services. It's not suitable for customers who are legally not allowed to keep their data on cloud and have to maintain their own servers in their own premise.

We are using SAP S/4HANA cloud in finance for accounts receivable, incoming payments are matched automatically to open receivables like invoice.
Saving accountants time & efforts in day to day work .
It's useful when one payment made for many invoices.
Helps in improving overall service quality for shared services.
We reprocess bank statements which are not processed automatically.

  • Assign payments to customer/supplier accounts
  • Post payment to customer/supplier
  • Confirms company-initiated payments like checks or bank transfer
  • Different receivable process for different countries
  • Integration challenges with current system
  • Data security and compliance
  • Data migration and cleansing
  • User training and hands on adoption
It's useful for enterprise level financial transactions in big firms but for small scale organisation due to budget constraints they are not able to use the same .
It's having limited customisation scope as compared to on Prem version .
