The new 24Q1 release of the “Transition to SAP S/4HANA” (on premise) road map has been published, and here are the most important things we have changed for you:

• As always, accelerators have been updated throughout the road map, to reflect the newest information on SAP S/4HANA release 2023 (e.g. release notes, feature scope description etc.). Also updates in the SAP services area has been incorporated.
• The biggest change we did is with respect to the “Clean Core” methodology of SAP. Many customers who are moving to SAP S/4HANA use this opportunity to “clean up”. SAP has defined multiple dimensions for “core cleaning”: clean business processes close to the SAP standard, clean business data (DAAM), clean integrations (ISA-M), clean extensions (AEM) according to SAP recommendations and operations. In a first step, we have incorporated a lot of information on this topic into many road map activities and tasks. To make it easier for you to find out, we added a “Clean Core” tag for you to filter related content.

  
  We are not done here – the next content update will further extend the “Clean Core” topic.

• We added new content we hope you find useful in the context of your SAP S/4HANA transformation. Three nice and relatively new topic examples (besides others) are:
  • The SAP Customer Evolution Kit for SAP S/4HANA, which helps customers clarifying the WHY, WHAT and HOW on SAP S/4HANA in an early project phase.
  • The Data Transition Validation (DTV) is a tool that allows you to compare business data before and after a system conversion or upgrade.
  • And finally, for developers there is a nice & new SAP BTP Developer Guide which helps you developing on SAP BTP in the right way.

Some topics could not make it into this update, but they are not forgotten. For instance, updates on “Test Management” are on top of the list. Please add your ideas into the content section of this blog.

You can find the new release of the “Transition to SAP S/4HANA” road map in the “SAP Roadmap Viewer”. And as you already know, we will push the updated content into SAP Cloud ALM for you within the upcoming days.

Hopefully you will enjoy it!
