SAP-Solution: simple Finance

The three SAP musketeers have struck again and opened the money spigot: Co-CEOs Jennifer Morgan and Christian Klein and genial CFO Luka Mucic want to make everyone in the SAP community happy.

An SAP seminar on the value-oriented positioning of S/4 costs 100 euros. That's a lot of money for a simple thing like Simple Finance and Simple Logistics. So why?

SAP's Price and Conditions List (PKL) is expanded to include the BlackLine item. SAP sells the cloud-based finance and accounting solutions as solution extensions.

Hasso Plattner wants to lead his existing customers into the age of digital transformation. The ideas of what is innovative and what is digital diverge.

The decision was made - SAP S/4 Hana Finance will be implemented at Alegri - not on premise, but in the Microsoft Azure Cloud. And as with every implementation project, there are some fundamental decisions to be made at the beginning.

If you follow the SAP publications on simple Finance, you get the impression that sFin represents a revolution in SAP accounting. Structural simplifications in FICO table design combined with Hana give hope for more efficient work and faster reporting.

No crystal ball is needed in the SAP community. The 2025 deadline will not be met, as all existing customers know by now. Hana and S/4 or SoH are not a technical release change. Z-functions have to be sorted out and employees trained. That takes time!

Companies are challenged to adapt strategies and business models to the growing complexity associated with digital transformation.

Object-oriented programming is modern and there is no alternative for the growing demand for mobility. Now the experienced Abap trainer Alexander Maetzing has spoken on the subject of Abap Objects, about future viability, advantages and how to learn the new language easily and effectively.
