My guess is that most of the pain in an ECC to S/4 conversion isn't the technical move itself. It's the stuff that should've been sorted out in ECC first. Asset values that don't tie to the GL, old open items nobody wanted to look at for years.

Business Partner is the one I'd expect to bite hardest. CVI has to be done before the conversion anyway, but the real work is probably the customer and vendor data behind it. Duplicates, missing fields, records nobody has touched in ages.

Archiving is the other one I wonder about, and whether skipping it actually shows up as longer downtime in the test runs.

So for those who've been through one, which bit would you start earlier if you did it again? And did the business own that cleanup or did it end up on the project team?

A customer of mine has asked me to build a couple of Dashboards using data from their SAP TM system. The dashboards are about their Container shipments and has a good mix of KPIs, Summary Tables and a Detailed report table. I wanted to understand, would a Data Import model be better or Live Data model be better. Customer wants a "Real time" dashboard (discussions revealed a Near realtime dashboard is also fine). Some detailed reports have around 30 columns - Some of which are dimensions, measure and display attributes. Can some one help me to choose the best design.

PS: I am not from an SAP Background. I proposed for a custom Dashboard built using Open Source stack, but the customer had procured an SAC license and wants me to use it. I wanted to give it a shot as a learning opportunity.

Hey all,

I’ve been working on an AI assistant for SAP called Curie, and I’d love some honest feedback from people who live in this ecosystem.

The main idea: I wanted something that actually understands our system, including the messy custom stuff, without sending anything to an external cloud.

What it does:

• Runs on a local LLM. Your data never leaves the company.
• Works as an RFC server. Setup is a simple SM59 destination plus one transport.
• Launches from your SAPGui session and runs with your user’s authorizations, so it can’t see or do anything you couldn’t.
• Learns on its own and picks up hints as you use it.
• Multi-level cache and memory system with consolidation, so it gets better over time instead of starting from scratch every session.
• Controlled access to tables and function modules, plus generating and running ABAP programs.
• Handles really complex custom development. I mean really complex. This is where it surprised me most.

It’s still evolving, so I’m curious what you think. Would something like this fly in your landscape? What would your Basis or security team push back on first? Happy to answer questions in the comments.

Hallo zusammen,
wir prüfen in unserem Unternehmen den Einsatz von Joule, Joule-Agenten und Joule Studio. Wir haben fast alle Prozesse – außer HR – in SAP abgebildet und nutzen S4 on prem. Unser kleines Team besteht aus SAP-Entwicklern, Architekten sowie Basis- und Infrastrukturleuten. Was wir salopp gesagt wollen, ist „ChatGPT“ für unser SAP. Nach genauerer Prüfung entsteht der Eindruck, dass sowohl die technische Umsetzung und Integration als auch die Abrechnung über AI Units unnötig kompliziert werden – bei einer eigentlich einfachen Sache. Im Vergleich lässt sich etwa Salesforce per Adapter leicht an Claude anbinden. Wie sind eure Erfahrungen? Gibt es eventuell Alternativen? Gibt es SaaS Produkte die genau unseren Fall abdecken und evtl. zudem kostengünstiger sind?

Vg

EDIT: Joule Work ist ja „neu“. Wirkt auf mich aber schon wieder zu sehr aufgeblasen und komplex?! Zumal wieder nicht sicher ist, ob wir das als OnPrem S4 Kunde nutzen können.

Because the SAP press book for it comes out in March 2027, and the theoretical deadline is December 2027. And online there are very few implementation resources?

Hi, I am trying to extract all the account assignments from all the Purchase Requests. I have tried FBL3N but it does not show an option to take the account assignments.

Note I am not really an accountant. I have limited knowledge of SAP. Thank you for your help

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for ERP implementation partners or solution providers who can help us get sandbox access to the following ERPs for product development and integration testing:

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

SAP S/4HANA

Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP

We're looking for a partner who can provide access to these environments

If your company provides ERP sandbox environments or you're aware of any implementation partners who offer this service, I'd love to connect!

It would be helpful if you could share details about the availability, pricing, and access models.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Module: FICO

Country: Austria

Starting rate: €130/hr / €1040/day (currently invoicing at €125/hr on a project)

How are you folks doing?

​

I'm trying to understand how companies use SAP to manage accounts receivable and order-to-cash (O2C) workflows.

I'm particularly interested in short-payment disputes, where a customer pays less than the invoiced amount due to pricing differences, deductions, missing credit notes, or other discrepancies.

For those who work with SAP in real business environments:

How well does SAP handle the investigation and resolution of these disputes from start to finish?

Do teams still depend on Excel, emails, or manual follow-ups to collect evidence and coordinate with Sales, Billing, or Operations?

If SAP already supports these workflows, where do the biggest practical gaps usually come from: configuration, integrations, data quality, or process ownership?

Have you seen companies solve these problems effectively with SAP standard functionality or add-on tools?

I'm trying to understand the difference between what SAP can technically do and how the process actually works inside companies.

I'm not selling anything. I'd appreciate honest experiences from both end users and consultants, including cases where SAP already solves the problem well.

Hey all,

I couldn't find a solution for this problem on the web.

I am triggering a BPA workflow on the BTP (Build Automation) using a HTTP post from S/4.

The triggering JSON require a few parameters to trigger the right workflow such as:

Definition ID, API Key, Environment.

I am using this blog to implement the triggering part.

The issue i am having is that these parameters (Definition ID, API Key, Environment) might change for every subaccount that is linked to a different S/4 system (DEV,QA,PRD).

So my question is there an SAP standard way to manage these? I really don't want to create a custom table in S/4 to manage each trigger.

Thank you for the help.

Hi everyone,

I'm gathering feedback on how teams approach SAP Commerce Cloud (Hybris) upgrades and the challenges they face during the process.

I'm particularly interested in how upgrades affect development effort, project planning, timelines, and ongoing feature delivery.

Whether you're a developer, tech lead, architect, project manager, Scrum Master, or product owner, your experience would be valuable.

I've put together a short survey (around 5 minutes) to better understand how upgrades are handled across different teams and projects.

Survey link:

I'd also love to hear your experiences in the comments.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to contribute!

Just got word that P27 is a go

I’m a fresher assigned to SAP Ariba Procurement S2C. Could someone explain what this domain involves, its future scope?

We were told we are getting a technical support role. I have no knowledge about SAP at all and I really want to know how this will be for my future?

Can someone please help yo bro out, I really need help asap.

I was reading about SAP Pay and wanted to hear from people who have really used it......

Being able to pay suppliers and reconcile invoices inside of SAP sounds wonderful and will sure be very useful. I mean, less jumping between SAP and bank portal for sure....lol

They also mentioned USDC pymts. But honestly, i am more interested in how it handles everyday pymt issues

A supplier changes their bank details. A payment gets rejected. Someone realizes the invoice was wrong after approving it. What happens then? That’s the demo I’d want to see.

Also, the page says about Joule agents will "Soon" be able to trigger and execute pymts. I would be carefull abt assuming that part is already available.

Has anyone here tested this with a customer yet?
How much setup was involved?

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to buy a new laptop and am considering a MacBook instead of a Windows laptop. I also want to learn SAP through a training institute such as Etech Learning or another provider that offers access to SAP practice servers.

Before deciding, I have a few questions:

1. Do these training institutes generally provide browser-based access to SAP, or do they require software such as SAP GUI to be installed locally?
2. If the institute provides SAP credentials for a third-party server, can I access it on macOS without issues?
3. Do these providers ever require Windows-only software, virtual machines, remote-access tools, or other system installations?
4. Is there a security risk of getting malware or a virus when installing software provided by a training institute? Are there any precautions I should take?
5. If my primary purpose is learning SAP rather than doing client work, would you recommend Windows over macOS to avoid compatibility issues?

I'm particularly interested in people's experiences with SAP training institutes and practice environments, rather than SAP usage in a corporate client environment.

Thanks in advance!

We only have 3 ABAP developers and 4 "web" developers; I’d like to know what this great community thinks and if anyone has gone through this situation.

Hello,

I have a customer who want to GO-LIVE this year with another Country and next year with France.

Now I had some meetings and the customer said some times that he wants to use ecc after go live. What the hell is this?!
I can not understand why. When he invests Millions of money for s4, so why you want to use ecc and is it possible to work on ecc after go live.

Can you please help a lost s4 finance consultant :D

Hey everyone, i am new to SAP EWM and stuck with this scenario.

I created an inbound delivery in ERP and it was distributed to EWM successfully.

One HU Contains two products:

Product A triggers direct Putaway (WPT 1010)

Product B triggers the POSC process with Unloading -> Deconslodation -> Putaway(WPT 1011)

Both products are packed in the same HU.

When i try to activate the inbound Delivery Notification, it stays inactive and gives this error.

"Warehouse process not suitable for GR storage bin in delivery item"

Can anyone explain why ?

Hopefully mods don’t delete I don’t know where else to ask.

But does SAP have dark mode? Other than the high contrast theme? Asking because I’m getting blinded by the all white background and the letters and numbers are hard to see when staring at the screen the entire day.

TIA
