User Experience

Along with S/4HANA 1610 release, Fiori 2.0 was launched for a highly consistent user
experience across the every line of business. With the latest 1709 release, Fiori has evolved
further into something the users will find highly efficient.

The On-Premise version of this release comes with a digital assistant named “CoPilot”
which uses HANA enterprise search to enable single click access for every object that exists.
CoPilot comes with these capabilities:

Now, the digital assistant “CoPilot” is made available for On-premise. CoPilot makes use of
HANA enterprise search to make every object which comes up accessible with one click.
The main capabilities of SAP CoPilot include:

1. User can make notes in Apps: CoPilot links the notes to the Apps in which they are
created.

2. Screen Shots: Users can create and share Screenshots from Fiori Apps.

3. Recognize Business Objects: CoPilot identifies business objects from current


applications in which users work and permits them to add the objects to notes.

4. In-context chat: This will enable users to chat with colleagues and share notes,
screenshots and business objects as well.

5. Quick actions: This enables users to rapidly create Business Objects within CoPilot such
as contact persons and more.

Along with CoPilot, Object Pages, the Overview Pages, and List Reports capabilities are
improved with this release.

Document splitting has been made available in this release which is really useful when it
comes to migration. Implementation of document splitting is possible now in phases instead

of jumping to it directly alongside migration.

SAP Leonardo means that Machine Learning capabilities are added in the application.
Various apps have been made available in 1709 release which makes use of Machine
Learning. A great example for this is the Cash Application. Here the system makes use of all
existing historical data to learn matching criteria so that payments can be cleared better
when bank statements are being imported.

Transportation Management in S/4HANA 1709

Initially, the application related to Transportation Management was a standalone application.


With S/4HANA 1709 it is integrated into the S/4 Core. This means it is part of one system,
one data model and has a consolidated landscape.

Advanced Variant Configuration in S/4HANA 1709

There was a pronounced lack of a flexible and great looking product configurator for
manufacturing enterprises in both previous releases of S/4HANA. It was seen that third
party solutions were widely used instead of standard SAP solution for product configuration

The new variant configurator will be able to support the Lot Size of One in a marketplace
which is dominated by trends of customization and individualization of products. Along
with the new simulation engine which is developed for the advanced variant configurator,
there are also brand new Apps which are available in Fiori to improve user experience.

Catch Weight Management (CWM)

CWM is an Industry term associated with consumer products and food processing
Businesses. While this functionality is not new, it was always a standalone application. With
the current release of S/4HANA, this application has been integrated into the core, just like
Transportation Management and EWM (1610 release). The purpose for CWM is landscape
consolidation and integration of the data sources.

HANA 2 and relation to S/4HANA 1709

The release of 1709 makes HANA 2 mandatory as the database platform for S/4HANA
1709 is actually built on HANA 2. This includes a set of enhancements such as a new
management cockpit which will include security and disaster recovery. The key advantages
here include added clustering capabilities such as the Active/Active clustering capability.

Active/Active clustering means that users can actually do something productive with their
secondary instance of HANA instead of using it for disaster recovery and backup. Therefore
some of the analytical workloads can be redirected to the secondary instance. This
functionality was already available in 1610 FSP1, and now it is a standard capability in
S/4HANA 1709.

tools to speed things up all-round. Whereas S/4HANA 1709, is built with more content and
number of supported Business Objects.

It is worth noting that the Rapid Data Migration tool requires a separate installation. But
unlike Rapid Data Migration, the Migration Cockpit and the Migration Object Modeler are
embedded tools which can be used with S/4HANA on a plug and play basis. LSMW is still
available but in future, the users will prefer data migration tool.

Conclusion

All the features mentioned above make it clear that S/4HANA has finally come out of age
and is ready to be used by global enterprises right out of the box.

S/4 HANA is certainly not a matured product yet. It takes at least 2 more years to see a stable
version with all the relevant functionalities developed / integrated together. All those big
enterprises who are already on s/4 must be a using bare minimum functionalities and to get
some exposure towards the product. The journey is long way and so far its only few steps that
