Unit 1 Lesson 1 Describing SAP S/4HANA LESSON OBJECTIVES After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Describe SAP S/4HANA SAP S/4HANA Overview Figure 1: The World Is Changing The numbers shown in the figure, The World is Changing, illustrate that the world around us is getting more complex. This complexity is due to the following factors: Exponential growth of digital information (social, mobile, big data). Globalization and the spread of business networks. Internet of Things, or Internet of Everything. The response so far has been to add more complex business processes, organizations, and software solutions. The world has continued to change and so to have business challenges and opportunities. Today’s world is digital and networked. The pace of data generation is accelerating – in the last two years, 90% of world data has been generated. © Copyright. All rights reserved. 3 Unit 1: SAP S/4HANA Overview Over the next two years, there will be 40% growth in the adoption of business networks. By the end of the decade, 212 billion things, from cars, to heavy equipment, to consumer appliances, will be connected to the internet. By 2020, there will be 9 billion mobile users in the world. Last year alone, 51% of workloads were processed in the cloud. That amount will only grow for the foreseeable future. The increase in the use of mobile devices, social media, and cloud technologies, and the amount of data they generate have transformed the way we live and work. In fact, 61% of companies report that the majority of their people use smart devices for everything from e- mail to project management to content creation. Machine learning (ML) is the study of algorithms and statistical models that computer systems use to progressively improve their performance on a specific task. ML algorithms build a mathematical model of sample data, known as training data, in order to make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed to perform the task. Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science that emphasizes the creation of intelligent machines that work and react like humans. Some of the activities computers with AI are designed for include: Speech recognition Learning Planning Problem solving While all of these advancements have improved our lives and provided us with greater opportunities for innovation than ever before, they have also accelerated the rise of an entirely new problem to contend with. That is the unprecedented and crippling complexity that suffocates innovation. The world may be getting smarter, but it has not gotten any easier. Massive consumerization of IT means online purchasing, banking, and completing online applications has become commonplace. Think about how much digital data you created today. Perhaps it is of interest to some organizations, but they can only integrate it with their core business processes if they run SAP S/4HANA. Data is extremely valuable. 4 © Copyright. All rights reserved. Lesson: Describing SAP S/4HANA Figure 2: Advances in Technology In the last few years, there have been significant advances in technology that application developers can take advantage of to build smarter and more powerful applications. Examples include the following: Multi-core processors enabling parallelism of tasks means more throughput of data and faster processing to give us real-time responses. Big memory enables us to fit an entire organization's database in memory, which means we lose the mechanical spinning disk and the latency it brings. Advances in the design of the on-board cache means that data can pass between memory and CPU cores rapidly. In the past, even with large memory, this was a bottleneck as the hungry CPUs demanded more data and the journey from memory to CPU was not optimal. Increasing your server landscape means you can slot more servers into your landscape to add more processing power or memory to scale to any size. Animation: Advances in Technology For more information on Advances in Technology, please view the animation in the lesson Describing SAP S/4HANA in your online course. SAP rewrote its business application software to exploit the new hardware fully. SAP worked closely with leading hardware partners who shared the product blueprints of their new CPU architectures, so that SAP knew how to write the very best modern software to extract as much power as possible. Cloud computing technology has matured in the last few years and is now a compelling deployment option for our customers who do not want to take on the complexity and cost of the installation and maintenance of IT landscapes. The use of virtual machines lowers the costs associated with running enterprise-wide applications. Public cloud services based on © Copyright.

Depending on the business process, increasing automation using intelligent Robotic Process Automation (RPA) services during data acquisition might yield the most benefits, while for other processes, you may benefit more from the potential in information analysis supported by AI. However, to accomplish these goals, a set of complementing capabilities is needed. The combination of these capabilities is provided through intelligent technologies, spanning conversational AI, situation handling, intelligent RPA, AI, and the Internet of Things. Prebuilt content provided by SAP reduces the effort to minimal customizations or personalizing machine learning models by training them with your organization's data. Examples include situation base templates, RPA bots, or machine learning models. This allows you to jump-start your own use of intelligent technologies in end-to-end processes supported by SAP S/4HANA Cloud.

SAP S/4HANA inherits the built-in capabilities of SAP HANA. This is evident throughout the new SAP S/4HANA applications. The following list describes some of the key capabilities of SAP HANA: Application Services: As well as a database, SAP HANA can provide many application services. This means that many applications can be built in a two-tier model, rather than a three-tier model. For example, imagine an application that allows a project manager to quickly check that all team members have completed their timesheets. This can easily be developed as a Web application, in which only a Web browser and SAP HANA is required. No application server is needed. This is because SAP HANA can handle the business logic, as well as the database services. SAP HANA provides a full development environment, with productivity tools supplied in the box. Everything the developer needs at design time, and at run time, is there. Processing Services: SAP HANA can handle many new types of data. This includes text, spatial, graph, and more. However, it is not enough to simply store these new data types. We need to be able to build applications that can process and integrate this data with traditional data types, such as business transactions. SAP HANA provides native in-memory engines that process any types of data in real time. Integration Services: 18 © Copyright. All rights reserved. Lesson: Describing SAP S/4HANA SAP HANA has multiple data consumption options built in. It allows you to analyze continual streaming data, read data remotely in any data source, read Big Data stores such as Hadoop, and synchronize in both directions with remote databases and devices that collect data (IoT). SAP HANA has built-in Extraction, Transformation, and Loading (ETL) capabilities, so that separate software is no longer needed to clean, enrich, and profile data from any source. Database Services: SAP HANA is a full in-memory column and row store database that can support both Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) requirements and is built to run on high-end hardware. It stores data optimally using automatic compression, and is able to manage data on different storage tiers to support data aging strategies. It has built-in, high-availability functions that keep the database running and ensure mission-critical applications are never down. SAP Business Technology Platform: SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) brings together intelligent enterprise applications with database and data management, analytics, integration and extension capabilities into one platform for both cloud and hybrid environments, including hundreds of pre-built integrations for SAP and third-party applications. SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), read more: https://www.sap.com/products/ business-technology-platform.html Time to Rebuild the Business Suite for the Digital World Since the beginning of enterprise computing, SAP have been rebuilding the business applications whenever major technology shifts have occurred. Some key moments in application development history of SAP are as follows: Figure 24: Time to Rebuild the Business Suite for the Digital World © Copyright. All rights reserved. 19 Unit 1: SAP S/4HANA Overview 1979 - SAP invents ERP. SAP builds standard business software based on mainframe technology. The name, SAP R/2 supports and integrates major business functions in real time and handles multi-country and multi-currency implementations. (R means real time, and although there was an R/1, this is not regarded as the first major release). 1992 - With the rise of the personal computer, the introduction of client/server architecture means another rewrite of the applications to exploit the power of a layered, three-tier architecture approach, in which processing is split across three layers - client, application, and database. It is the end of the mono-chromatic, text-based, messy green screens and the start of a new graphical interface to improve the end user experience. This is the birth of SAP R/3. 2004 - The Web is firmly established as the common business network and customers demand better integration between their business applications and the Web. SAP develops a new integration application platform called SAP NetWeaver to enable this. Now all SAP applications run on a common platform, and customers and partners can build and integrate existing applications easily using widely adopted Web standards, such as Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Additionally, a little later, a new switch framework is introduced to allow customers to enable only the new functions developed by SAP selectively, in order to avoid disrupting their core processes. The SAP R/3 name is now replaced by SAP ERP. ERP is part of a larger family known as SAP Business Suite, which also contains many other line-of- business (LoB) applications from SAP, such as SAP CRM. Figure 25: SAP S/4HANA: Where We Are Now 2015 - A new wave of advances in hardware architecture brings massive computing power at decreasing costs. Huge memory and multi-core processors arrive to offer massive computing power. The underlying design of existing SAP applications does not fully exploit the power of the new hardware. A rewrite of the complete Business Suite is required. The new business suite is called SAP S/4HANA. SAP History, read more: https://www.sap.com/corporate/en/company/history.html 20 © Copyright.

With a new visual design and appearance, we are making work more delightful and are ready for the next- generation workforce. SAP Fiori is a design system that provides a consistent user experience (UX) for SAP software across platforms and devices. It is at the core of SAP’s product experience and design strategy. SAP Fiori is the UX of the Intelligent Enterprise that changes the way you work. It equips designers and developers with a set of tools and guidelines to create apps for any platform faster than ever – providing a consistent, innovative experience for both creators and users. SAP Fiori enables you to turn new ideas into great apps as quickly as the market demands. Figure 26: SAP Fiori With SAP S/4HANA comes a brand new user experience called SAP Fiori. SAP Fiori is not a software product, but the name of a new design approach that was created especially for SAP S/4HANA. Key aspects of the design of SAP Fiori applications are as follows: They must run comfortably on any device, and present a modern consumer-grade quality. They focus on specific job functions (as opposed to an overcomplicated screen filled with functions for different users). They offer only the essential information that users need to get their jobs done with no clutter. A task is completed with a few clicks and screen changes. Applications are intuitive to use, with little or no required training. They can include embedded analytics to support in-process decision making. The look-and-feel can be consistent across all applications. © Copyright.

The Fiori Apps library can be easily accessed in the Web and contains documentation and Implementation Guidance. SAP Fiori, read more: https://www.sap.com/products/fiori.html For the on-premise edition of SAP S/4HANA, SAP GUI is still supported, and can be used alongside SAP Fiori applications to provide an easy transition for existing SAP customers who are familiar with the classic interface. Additionally, there are a number of transactions that are not yet converted to SAP Fiori, and SAP GUI is still needed for those. It is important to remember that there is not always a 1:1 relationship between a classic SAP GUI transaction and an SAP Fiori application. In many cases, a single SAP Fiori application can replace many individual SAP GUI transactions. 22 © Copyright. All rights reserved.

Platform-as-a-service (PaaS): Is a cloud-based, application development environment that provides developers with everything they need to build and deploy apps. With PaaS, developers can choose the features and cloud services they want on a subscription or pay-per-use basis. SAP Cloud Platform (SCP) is an integration and extension platform built for the Intelligent Enterprise that enables you to connect your landscape and create application extensions that focus on your business needs. Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS): Lets companies rent computing resources, such as servers, networks, storage, and operating systems, on a pay-per-use basis. The infrastructure scales – and customers don’t have to invest in the hardware. SAP Cloud Solutions and Services, read more: https://www.sap.com/trends/cloud- solutions.html 24 © Copyright.

Lesson: Describing SAP S/4HANA SAP S/4HANA Deployment Options Figure 29: SAP S/4HANA Deployment Options SAP S/4HANA is available as a traditional any-premise deployment, a Cloud deployment, or a combination of both. Cloud: Maximize agility with standardized processes built from proven best practices in every industry, new innovations as frequently as four times per year, fast time to value, and lower TCO. Any Premise: Optimize your capacity for specialization by deploying SAP S/4HANA in your own datacenter or utilizing an infrastructure-as-a-service provider and customize and extend SAP S/4HANA with complete control of your environment. Hybrid landscape: Manage corporate and subsidiary needs with a hybrid landscape – in the cloud and on premise – and leverage a single data model for simplified integration and coordinated processes. Types of cloud deployment: Public cloud (SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Essentials / SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Extended): With a public cloud, services are delivered to customers over a network that’s available for usage by the provider’s clients. Public clouds offer efficiency and affordability and are often multi-tenant – meaning the provider runs your service in a shared environment. Private cloud: With a private cloud, services are maintained on a private network protected by a firewall. You can build a private cloud within your own data center – or subscribe to one hosted by a vendor. Private clouds offer the most security and control. Hybrid cloud: © Copyright. All rights reserved. 25 Unit 1: SAP S/4HANA Overview A hybrid cloud is a combination of public cloud, private cloud, and on-premise infrastructure. Hybrid clouds let you keep sensitive information in a traditional data center or private cloud while taking advantage of public cloud resources. Figure 30: SAP S/4HANA Choice For customers who determine that cloud is the best choice for their SAP S/4HANA deployment, SAP offers several choices. To determine the best one, a customer should consider three dimensions: Scope, Governance, and Standardization. Please note that these terms are categories, each of which contain several different characteristics. Scope: Scope includes the business processes supported (finance, inventory, and so on), as well as industry and geography support. Running SAP S/4HANA on Custom HEC is the same scope as on premise SAP S/4HANA. So too is the SAP S/4HANA Cloud, single-tenant edition. SAP S/4HANA Cloud is the leading Cloud ERP with more country localizations supported and more intelligent processes enabled by machine learning and predictive analytics than any other solution on the market. As with any public cloud solution, the processes are standards-based, making It important for companies, especially installed base customers of SAP to review whether fit-to-standard based on the available scope of the solution will serve their business needs by exploring the Best Practice Explorer: https://rapid.sap.com/bp/. Governance: In this category we mean not only the updates to SAP S/4HANA itself (enhancement packs and fixes), but also running the infrastructure. For SAP S/4HANA Cloud, SAP determines the maintenance update and innovation schedule (quarterly innovation cycles / updates and as needed for fixes); while for SAP S/4HANA Cloud, single-tenant edition, the customer can influence governance receive up to 2 updates per year, 1 update per year being mandatory. With on-premise, the customer controls when updates are made, with one updated being made annually for SAP S/4HANA. Standardization: This category refers not only to customizations and extensions, but also modifying the configuration and code itself. For on-premise, the customer is in control and can customize, extend, configure, and modify as they see fit. This flexibility can also lead to difficulties during the update and innovation cycle if the solution is heavily modified, as was 26 © Copyright. All rights reserved. Lesson: Describing SAP S/4HANA the case for past on-premise ERP solutions. For SAP S/4HANA Cloud, customizations and extensions must be done in a controlled environment (SAP Business Technology Platform [SAP BTP]), which makes the maintenance easier to do moving forward. In this case, modifying the configuration or the SAP S/4HANA code itself is not allowed. In the case of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, single-tenant edition, an entire content configuration can be carried forward during implementation, and full extensibility is possible. However SAP stresses the need to standardize, in order to make the move to SAP S/4HANA Cloud (multi-tenant) more feasible in the future.

All rights reserved. 33 Unit 2 Lesson 1 Using SAP Fiori LESSON OBJECTIVES After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Use SAP Fiori applications and tools SAP Fiori Your enterprise plans to implement SAP S/4HANA and you want some insights into the SAP user experience strategy. You are particularly interested in the SAP Fiori UI. Figure 34: Concepts and Influence Factors IT and the use of electronic devices is no longer reserved for experts and has spread throughout all social groups. High performance hardware stands against a wide variety of software products with different scope and uses. As a result, it is important that software is easy to use. 34 © Copyright. All rights reserved. Lesson: Using SAP Fiori The main drivers of this development are smartphones and tablets with their easy-to-use and flexible user interfaces. These user interfaces are no longer required to provide maximum functionality but rather a comfortable user experience, which puts the focus on the consumer. The focus on the expert user with many years of experience is now a matter of the past. Therefore, business software must adapt and transform too so that it provides good user experiences for all roles in an enterprise. The UI plays an important role in supporting this trend. For SAP software products the challenge is to keep a clear view and to understand the overall SAP strategy in the area of user experience (UX). SAP User Experience Figure 35: UI Versus UX The terms UI and UX stand for two different ways of thinking: UI, from a software perspective, describes the interface between the user and the device. It aims at maximizing efficiency during use. UX takes on the perspective of the end user and aims at motivation and emotion not only during use but also before and after. UX tries to create a positive and motivating experience for the user. Figure 36: User Types © Copyright. All rights reserved. 35 Unit 2: Navigation Various user types can be found depending on the structure of the specialized area and the IT department as well as the degree of digitization. However, in almost every company there are three basic user types: Occasional user Requires simple and easy-to-use applications. In many cases, single-step transactions are executed. Expert or key user Knows the processes and the available applications in detail. This user often uses multiple systems and different UIs. Developer or programmer \has detailed process and system knowledge and deals with the adaptation and extension of the existing applications. They usually look after several applications with different UIs. Animation: User Types For more information on User Types , please view the animation in the lesson Using SAP Fiori in your online course. SAP Fiori You want to ensure that your users have the best possible experience when interacting with SAP Business Suite, and that they can access business critical applications on any device without compromises. You need a solution that integrates with your existing IT system landscape, and that can expand to cover your specific needs. You want to make sure that SAP Fiori meets these requirements. Figure 38: SAP Fiori Benefits 36 © Copyright. All rights reserved. Lesson: Using SAP Fiori Increased productivity – fast, direct access to relevant information and apps. Timely notifications - transparency on items needing your attention. Helps users decide what needs to be done next. Allows users to take quick and informed actions. Increased user satisfaction. A key theme of SAP S/4HANA is simplification, and this certainly applies to the user experience. We use the term UX, rather than UI because we need to consider the overall experience of the user, rather than only the look of the screen. For example, if you went to a restaurant that was strong on food presentation, but where the service was poor, you would say that the overall experience was not good, and you would not be keen to repeat it. It is important to provide not only a great-looking UI, but also features that help the user become more productive, resulting in a good overall experience. This is what SAP Fiori delivers. SAP Fiori is a completely new user experience, rather than an upgrade to any existing interface, such as SAP GUI, SAP Portal, or SAP Business Client. It works on any device that allows users to have the same experience, regardless of the device they choose to use. They can set up a basic sales order in the office using their desktop, then visit the customer to complete the configuration and agree pricing using a tablet. SAP Fiori provides the same look and feel and productivity features on all devices. SAP Fiori apps are designed using a methodology called Design Thinking, which is a user- centric and solution-based approach to software and user interface design. SAP Fiori Concept and Design SAP Fiori is a consistent and holistic user experience for business users for all lines of business and across devices and deployment options. © Copyright. All rights reserved. 37 Unit 2: Navigation Figure 39: SAP Fiori Concept and Design Animation: SAP Fiori Concept and Design For more information on SAP Fiori Concept and Design, please view the animation in the lesson Using SAP Fiori in your online course. The SAP Fiori concept is fundamentally a simplification of the user experience relying on modern design principles such as role-based, delightful, coherent, simple, and adaptive: Role-based means that it is designed for you, your needs, and how you work. Delightful means that it makes an emotional connection. Coherent means that it provides one fluid, intuitive experience. Simple means that it includes only what is necessary. Adaptive means that it adapts to multiple use cases and devices. The SAP Fiori design is the visual design, information architecture, colors, and interaction patterns that are defined in the SAP Fiori design guidelines. Based on user roles and business processes, SAP Fiori simplifies doing business. SAP Fiori sets the standard for enterprise user experience by removing unnecessary complexity. We put users in control of their business tasks by giving them only what they really need. This is reflected in the five design principles already mentioned. 38 © Copyright. All rights reserved. Lesson: Using SAP Fiori SAP Fiori App Types Figure 41: SAP Fiori App Types SAP Fiori apps can be classified into different types. Examples include the following: Transaction apps offer task-based access to tasks like change, create, display (documents, master records), or entire processes with guided navigation. Analytical apps provide insight to action. They give you a visual overview of complex topics for monitoring or tracking purposes. Object Pages give you the opportunity to search and explore your data. They provide a 360 degree view on essential information about an object, and contextual navigation between related objects.

All rights reserved. 39 Unit 2: Navigation SAP Fiori Launchpad Home page Figure 43: SAP Fiori Launchpad Home Page — One Entry Point for the User The SAP Fiori launchpad home page is a shell that hosts SAP Fiori apps, and provides services such as navigation, personalization, embedded support, and application configuration. It is the entry point to SAP Fiori apps on mobile and desktop devices. The SAP Fiori launchpad home page displays a home page with tiles, which can display live status indicators, such as, the number of open tasks. Each tile represents a business application that the user can launch. The SAP Fiori apps on the home page are arranged in tile groups. The user can personalize the layout of the SAP Fiori launchpad home page, by grouping, moving, and removing tiles. The user can also add, delete, rename, and reorder groups. The ability to personalize the SAP Fiori launchpad home page must be enabled in the launchpad configuration. To add tiles to groups, the SAP Fiori launchpad home page provides a tile catalog, which displays all the tiles that are available to a user. 40 © Copyright. All rights reserved.
