Introducing SAP S/4HANA

PUBLIC


1 Introducing SAP S/4HANA

SAP S/4HANA is the next generation business suite designed to simplify complexities in the digital world. The new

suite is built on advanced in-memory platform, SAP HANA, and offers a personalized user experience with SAP

Fiori. Deployable in the cloud or on-premise, SAP S/4HANA is built to drive instant value across lines of business

and industries with the ultimate in sophistication: simplicity.

Getting Started

2 Getting Started

This guide provides you a quick overview to new customers or existing SAP Business Suite customers to move to

SAP S/4HANA.

2.1 System Conversion: SAP Business Suite Customer who wants to move to SAP S/4HANA

The scenario here is to focus on existing SAP Business Suite customers who want to change their current system

into an SAP S/4HANA, on-premise 1511 system. The steps of high-level overview are as follows:

Install SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP 7.5

Migrate the database to SAP HANA (in case, the existing SAP Business Suite system is not yet on SAP

S/4HANA).

Install SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition

Install SAP Fiori for SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition

Migrate legacy data to the new simplified data structures

The conversion to SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition is done using the Software Update Manager (SUM) tool with

Database Migration Option (DMO) - DMO is an option of Software Update Manager (SUM). If your system is not

yet on SAP HANA, the SUM tool also takes care of your database migration.

Figure 2: SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition – System Conversion

The customer can move to SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition in a one-step procedure. Following are the

supported start releases for a one-step procedure:

SAP ERP 6.0 and Suite on SAP S/4HANA

SAP ERP 6.0

EHP 0- 7

Suite on SAP S/4HANA (including SAP S/4HANA Finance add-on)


Getting Started

PUBLIC


Customers on older Business Suite releases can move to SAP S/4HANA in a two-step approach (for example with

Unicode migration and business partner conversion as a first step and the move to SAP S/4HANA, on-premise

edition as second step).

2.2 Prerequisites and Software Products

For a one-step conversion, the product version of the source system should be SAP ERP 6.0 or higher. The

available conversion scenarios for the releases are as follows:

Scenario 1: SAP ERP 6.0 minimum

Scenario 2: SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 on SAP HANA minimum

Scenario 3: SAP enhancement package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 on SAP HANA with SAP S/4HANA Finance 1503

minimum

Note

For more information, see SAP Note 2189824 SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511: Release Information

Note.

Customer installations with earlier releases than SAP ERP 6.0 can move to S/4HANA 1511 in a two-step

approach.

Please also check SAP Note 2269869 Add. info on converting to S/4HANA, on-premise edition, using SUM

SP16 and SAP Note 2189824 SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511: Release Information Note for updated

information on start releases.

2.3 Conversion Scenarios

The system conversion for SAP S/4HANA covers the following conversion one-step procedure scenarios:

Scenario 1: Conversion of SAP ERP on any DB to SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management

Scenario 2: Conversion of SAP ERP on SAP HANA to SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management

Scenario 3: Conversion of SAP ERP with SAP S/4HANA Finance on SAP HANA to SAP S/4HANA Enterprise

Management

These constellations are displayed in the following figures:

3.1 Add-ons, Industry Solutions, and Business Functions

Check the supported S/4HANA add-ons through SAP Note 2214409 SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511:

Compatible Add-ons. As of SAP Add-On Installation Tool version 053 (transaction SAINT), the uninstallation

of SAP add-ons is possible for several add-ons. For more information, check SAP Note 2011192 Uninstalling

ABAP add-ons.

Check the S/4HANA restrictions through SAP Note 2214213 SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511:

Restriction Note.

Check the S/4HANA business function compatibility through

o SAP Note 2242526 SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1511: Always-On Business Functions

o SAP Note 2308014 Conversions to SAP S/4HANA On-Premise with 3rd Party / non-SAP Add-ons.

3.2 Maintenance Planner Overview

Use of Maintenance Planner is mandatory for conversion to S/4HANA. This tool helps creates the download files

(add-ons, packages, DVDs, Stack File – the input for SUM) that the Software Update Manager (SUM) uses to

install SAP S/4HANA. Specifically, the Maintenance Planner checks the following:

If the add-ons in the system are compatible for the conversion

If Business Functions active in the system are compatible for conversion

It then creates the stack configuration file, which is used by SUM to convert to S/4HANA

Also, the Maintenance Planner needs to perform before the prechecks, because the precheck report also

recommends the stack.xml file as an input.

For more information, see the Maintenance Planner User Guide at help.sap.com/maintenanceplanner .

the stack.xml as an input.

http://help.sap.com/maintenanceplanner

PUBLIC




Concept

SAP supports the customer by providing prechecks. These identify the steps you need to take to ensure your

system is compatible with the conversion process.

Prechecks are shipped as SAP Notes to customers that want to convert to S/4HANA. Customers can use these

prechecks to find out what mandatory steps they have to carry out before converting to S/4HANA.

The results list the instances that need addressing before attempting the conversion process. The checks are run

twice again during the conversion process: both times in the Software Update Manager (SUM). The conversion is

stopped if errors persist.

.

3.3.1 How to Perform the Prechecks

Implement SAP Note 2182725 , and all the related notes attached to it.

Make sure that you use latest version of this note and regularly check for updates of all attached notes.

Implement and run these reports R_S4_PRE_TRANSITION_CHECKS on every system (Sandbox, DEV, QA,

PROD) you want to convert to S/4HANA.

Report R_S4_PRE_TRANSITION_CHECKS

Run report R_S4_PRE_TRANSITION_CHECKS with transaction SE38 or SA38 in client 000

Perform the report using the option Check Class Consistency Check

In case of missing check classes, open a ticket on the corresponding component for the check class

mentioned in the error message. Otherwise, contact the respective add-on vendor.

If all check classes exist, run the report with the option S/4 Pre-Trans. Check Results and provide the path to

the stack.xml file. This has to be copied to the ABAP system, for example, to /usr/sap/<SID>/Download.

Also, make sure that you activate the Simulation Mode. Save it as a variant for subsequent checks.

Note

In the Simulation Mode, the application log does not get filled with results of the precheck report.

The return code of the overall check result should not be higher than 4. Otherwise, the Software Update

Manager (SUM) cannot perform the conversion of your system.

In case of errors, follow the instructions in the messages. The instructions refer SAP Notes. In this way,

resolve the issues until the check report results in a return code of 4 or less.

Note

Perform these checks before starting the Software Update Manager (SUM).

Note

Some of the precheck reports can have a long execution time.
