General Validation Workshop Principles
Workshop best practice should still be followed:
 Preparation meetings with customer business leads to allow them to introduce their business and
processes. Allow consultants to prepare workshops (not a detailed as-is analysis).
 Plan in detail with templates for workshop inputs and outputs.
 Set boundaries at start of each workshop.
 Provide process, value and strategic context at start of each workshop.
 Focus on business value and tie to business case and value drivers.
 Ensure process diagrams include roles (swim lanes): this helps business to engage.
 Prioritize scope and gaps.
 Document decisions, assumptions and business impacts of new processes.
 Produce detailed documentation immediately.
 Formal sign-off of the Gap List before realize phase starts.

Gap Definition – Gap types
Gap = Any item that is not part of the standard service scope
1. Process gap
 Process is not part of the preconfigured best practices
 Predefined process needs to be adjusted
2. Reporting gap - standard baseline report is not adequate or does not exist
3. All non-standard interfaces
4. All workflows
5. Any enhancements to standard software
6. Organizational structure not included in the SAP Best Practices
7. Changes to standard predefined authorization roles or new business roles
8. Forms – any changes to the standard predefined forms – apart from company logo and address data
9. Data migration and conversion

Capture Gaps in Backlog list during WS A
Identify Gaps - Listen, Learn, Challenge and Complement
 Once you identify gasp, challenge them, drive customer to
adopt SAP standard process where possible
 Capture and validate gap requirements in Backlog template
– What do you need to do?
– How does that work?
– Why is that important?
 Determine Requirement / Gap Owner
 Close the loop to the Business Case (how does the gap tie to
value?)
 Leverage parking lot to table discussion and drive time line

Process Validation Approach
Known Gaps
Capture the requirement in the backlog and defer any detailed solution design to Workshop B for further
analysis.
BP or RDS do not cover the process, but standard practice is known
If process is not covered by SAP Best Practice or RDS then determine if standard process practices (i.e.
common consulting knowledge/experience around a business process) can be used to address the required
functionality.
Determine if you can prototype the process/functionality in Sandbox system or if you need to prepare off-line
demo or visualization of the functionality for WS A. Also refer to solution documentation, help files and
compatibility list for SAP S/4HANA.
Process Covered by Best Practices or RDS
SAP Best Practices exist for the process then utilize the test scripts, business process model and scope item
description to determine if there is a need for delta requirements of if a gap exists. See the details on preceding
pages.

Solution Manager: Requirement and Gap Documentation
The new requirements and gaps,
identified during the workshops should
be documented in SAP Solution
Manager 7.2. Additional information
about the business requirement should
be recorded in the appropriate templates
and loaded into Solution Manager.
Please refer to the Reference Guide
(Explore -> Analyze the Business
Processes ->Document New
Requirements and Gaps) for detailed

Prioritize Backlog with Gaps
Prioritize Gaps in the Backlog
 Business users (gap owners) are responsible for setting
the priorities
 Project Team provides technical and application insight
to support prioritization – e.g. reflect the technical and
functional dependencies
 The backlog will provide input into scheduling the delta
design workshops – it will help define the schedule of
WS B and focus.
 Backlog Completion Considerations
– Identification of delta requirements and gaps /
requirements
– Assign Owner
– Association with SAP business process
– Prioritization of log items

Take Away - Recommendations
 Use of the pre-delivered content and solution is key to executing the fit/gap analysis workshops…
– “This process is developed using SAP Best Practices”
– “This is delivered out of the box functionality”
 Get confirmation of the process during the workshop and note gaps as applicable; don’t try to solve the gap during the
solution validation workshop (WS A)… Note it only and move on or you won’t finish….
 Answer questions phrased with “Can the system do this?” carefully… you need to ascertain if it’s a real business
requirement quickly or note it as a gap and move on….
 The workshops are process driven and more time needs to be spent clarifying master data requirements.. You may pay for
lack of attention to this later with extra work on master data conversions….
 Scheduling workshops can be difficult with a wide audience that has other priorities besides SAP implementation. PMO and
Customer Mgmt. need to emphasize clearing of calendars and 100% attendance.
 Get to know your customer team and align planned time requirements for each member before the workshops to insure
positive attendance and commitment
 Need to plan more effectively for integration workshops to cover key integration process such of OTC (Create Order,
Delivery, Billing, A/R collection), PTP (Create Purchase Order, Receive product, Pay Vendor) and PTM (Plan Output, MRP,
Create and Execute Order, Settle Order)

All rights reserved. ǀ General Validation Workshop Principles Workshop best practice should still be followed:  Preparation meetings with customer business leads to allow them to introduce their business and processes. Allow consultants to prepare workshops (not a detailed as-is analysis).  Plan in detail with templates for workshop inputs and outputs.  Set boundaries at start of each workshop.  Provide process, value and strategic context at start of each workshop.  Focus on business value and tie to business case and value drivers.  Ensure process diagrams include roles (swim lanes): this helps business to engage.  Prioritize scope and gaps.  Document decisions, assumptions and business impacts of new processes.  Produce detailed documentation immediately.  Formal sign-off of the Gap List before realize phase starts.

All rights reserved. ǀ Process Validation Approach Known Gaps Capture the requirement in the backlog and defer any detailed solution design to Workshop B for further analysis. BP or RDS do not cover the process, but standard practice is known If process is not covered by SAP Best Practice or RDS then determine if standard process practices (i.e. common consulting knowledge/experience around a business process) can be used to address the required functionality. Determine if you can prototype the process/functionality in Sandbox system or if you need to prepare off-line demo or visualization of the functionality for WS A. Also refer to solution documentation, help files and compatibility list for SAP S/4HANA. Process Covered by Best Practices or RDS SAP Best Practices exist for the process then utilize the test scripts, business process model and scope item description to determine if there is a need for delta requirements of if a gap exists. See the details on preceding pages.

All rights reserved. ǀ Take Away - Recommendations  Use of the pre-delivered content and solution is key to executing the fit/gap analysis workshops… – “This process is developed using SAP Best Practices” – “This is delivered out of the box functionality”  Get confirmation of the process during the workshop and note gaps as applicable; don’t try to solve the gap during the solution validation workshop (WS A)… Note it only and move on or you won’t finish….  Answer questions phrased with “Can the system do this?” carefully… you need to ascertain if it’s a real business requirement quickly or note it as a gap and move on….  The workshops are process driven and more time needs to be spent clarifying master data requirements.. You may pay for lack of attention to this later with extra work on master data conversions….  Scheduling workshops can be difficult with a wide audience that has other priorities besides SAP implementation. PMO and Customer Mgmt. need to emphasize clearing of calendars and 100% attendance.  Get to know your customer team and align planned time requirements for each member before the workshops to insure positive attendance and commitment  Need to plan more effectively for integration workshops to cover key integration process such of OTC (Create Order, Delivery, Billing, A/R collection), PTP (Create Purchase Order, Receive product, Pay Vendor) and PTM (Plan Output, MRP, Create and Execute Order, Settle Order)
