Successful support of the group-wide rollout of S/4HANA in finance and accounting as well as realization of commodity interfaces of market accounting.
Our client is one of the largest food retailers in Europe and faces the challenge of future-proofing its ERP landscape and coping with the ongoing transformation. For this purpose, a new SAP S/4HANA Financial Core System is to be introduced for the standardization and harmonization of finance and accounting in order to standardize processes and achieve improvements in efficiency.
The legacy system landscape consists of several SAP ECC systems and a large number of third-party systems and interfaces. The strong networking and complexity of the processes and interactions as well as the high number of companies to be migrated and the associated volume require a suitable transformation strategy and close cooperation between business experts and technical IT.
CLIENT
To ensure that the planning of an S/4HANA rollout is successful, it is necessary to consider all cross-process and organizational dependencies. Thank you.
In collaboration with our client, we developed a rollout template for data migration for finance and accounting data using a greenfield approach. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the legacy systems and the evaluation of the appropriate tool, we developed a core template for the data migration. At the same time, we designed and implemented interface solutions to connect the individual stores to the central ERP system. Over the course of several rollout waves, we supported our customer in the transformation to SAP S/4HANA and iteratively expanded the core template according to the rollout-specific process and country specifics.
To ensure a reliable rollout of all companies in multiple cycles, we designed a rollout template together with our client. By incorporating our best practices into predefined routines and automated reconciliation of migrated values, we were able to develop efficient data transfer programs and create the necessary transparency. With the help of our experience and the combination of business and technical expertise, the high data volume and the heterogeneous source system landscape could be mastered and the migration of several hundred company codes was successfully realized. The established programs and processes that were set up together will continue to be used by the customer for integrations of acquisitions in the long term.
