SAP CRM on-premise was SAP’s widely adopted CRM offering. This solution is being used by thousands of companies throughout the world across a variety of industries in the areas of Sales, Service, Marketing and Interaction Center. However, the software industry has moved towards Cloud and SaaS offerings in the last few years. SAP has launched their own cloud offerings like SAP S/4HANA for ERP, SAP C/4HANA for Pre-Sales/Customer Service/Field Service/Commerce, SuccessFactors for HR etc. They have also developed SAP S/4HANA for Customer Management offering that will enable migration of SAP CRM customers to this solution for their back-office operations.
With the tremendous success of SAP S/4HANA in the customer digital transformation journey, SAP has embedded the SAP CRM solution into SAP S/4HANA that reduces landscape complexity significantly and consolidates back-office capabilities. SAP S/4HANA for Customer Management is an add-on to SAP S/4HANA. This solution enables you to manage your customer relationships for Sales, Interaction Center and Service business processes, eliminates data exchange issues of SAP CRM, and leverage the functionality of new cloud-based S/4HANA solution.
In this webinar, we shared S/4HANA Customer Management, S/4HANA Customer Management Architecture, its roadmap, an overview of migration from SAP CRM, as well as the obstacles on the road to S/4HANA.

6. S/4HANA for CM and C/4HANA Comparison
S/4HANA for Customer Management C/4 HANA
Type of offering On-premise add-on to S/4HANA. Cloud based S/4HANA CM is also
available.
C/4HANA is SAP’s new branding for its umbrella of
cloud-based customer experience solutions including
Sales/Service/Commerce/Customer/Marketing cloud
UI S/4HANA CM UI is based on SAP CRM Web Client UI.
A new theme Belize is used for similar look and feel as the native
Fiori application.
Sales/Service Cloud front end is based on SAP UI
Designer. Marketing Cloud front end is based on SAP
UI5. Commerce Cloud front end is based on dynamically
created html pages from JSP and Eclipse is used as a
development tool. UI extensions is used in Marketing
Cloud.
Integration with S/4HANA No middleware Integration with S/4HANA can be done using CPI and PI.
Out of the box integration scenarios are provided by
the SAP.
Third party integration There is limited out-of-the-box Web services and Odata services
in S/4HANA CM yet. Web Services or OData services can be
created during implementation. XIF Adapter can also be used to
integrate S/4HANA CM with third party systems.
SAP C/4HANA has a rich set of out of the box
integration scenarios for master and transaction data
can be configured.
Standard object
extensibility
Field extensibility in S/4HANA CM is performed via an SAP Fiori
app on SAP S/4HANA: the Custom Fields and Logic app.
Table extensibility in S/4HANA CM is done by AET table
extensibility concept.
Sales/Service Cloud uses Key User Tool for creating
custom fields in standard objects. Uses Rule editor.
Custom fields are created using the "custom fields and
logic" application for Marketing.
7. S/4HANA for Customer Management C/4 HANA

9. ➢ UI framework used in S/4HANA for Customer
Management is similar to the SAP CRM
Organizational model, BOL objects and APIs
➢ Data model is coherent with S/4HANA
database
➢ Master data is the same for all applications
like products, business partner,
organizational management and equipment
➢ Structured simply, it reduces the data
footprint
➢ Seamless processes and no duplicity of the
objects
➢ Common tables between SAP CRM and
S/4HANA are replaced with S/4HANA tables
e.g. Payment Terms

Business Partner Business Partner

Functional location IBase

S/4HANA CM - Data Model Overview
SAP Business Objects
10. ➢ The classical SAP CRM handled the data basically grouped into Header CRMD_ORDERADM_H and items
CRMD_ORDERADM_I
➢ The header and item relationship is 1:n and transaction data are distributed among many tables. Such
relationship is maintained by table CRMD_LINK
ORDERADM_H
ORDERADM_I
SERVICE_H
ACTIVITY_H

PRICING_I

SAP CRM - Data Model
11. ➢ SAP S/4HANA uses a new data modelling infrastructure known as CDS (Core Data services)
➢ All order header level data is stored in CRMS4D_SERV_H (See below diagram). Item level data is stored in a
sole table CRMS4D_SERV_I
➢ CDS view sits on top of such flattened table, hence it reduces the joins among database tables to the highest
degree

14. ➢ Existing Customers - Upgrade ERP to S/4HANA, keep SAP CRM as a separate system and move CRM to
S/4HANA progressively (hybrid operation)
➢ New Customers can start their implementation directly in S/4HANA
➢ Master data migration – Use migration tools like S/4HANA migration cockpit or migration object modeler
➢ Customization – Manual task but comparable content and steps
➢ Custom code – Manual task but same framework.
➢ Transaction data – Migration tools are in roadmap for future releases
➢ Actual strategy should be case to case basis
➢ Future roadmaps include further scenarios from SAP CRM
SAP CRM Migration to SAP S/4HANA
15. ➢ Existing Customers – Analyze if the extent of changes can be met by S/4HANA service and migrate during
the initial migration to S/4HANA
➢ New customers should consider implementing S/4HANA Service directly
➢ The CS functionality is supported on S/4HANA as well, but it will be available only till 2025
➢ Master data migration – S/4HANA data can be re-used
➢ Custom code/Configuration – Needs to be redone manually
➢ Transactional data – Transactional data and data processing is different in S/4HANA
➢ Future roadmaps will cover the full CS functionality in S/4HANA Service
