Fiori and S/4 authorizations: "What are the biggest challenges, and where do the risks lie?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Many SAP customers are currently planning to implement SAP S/4HANA or are already making the transition. Besides the extensive new architectural aspects involved, implementing S/4HANA and Fiori also changes quite a few longstanding rules in the area of SAP authorizations.
A number of transactions - some of which veteran SAP ERP users have come to hold dear - have either been integrated into other transactions, replaced by Fiori apps, or simply eliminated. Meanwhile, the consistent use of OData services in the context of Fiori has resulted in a variety of ramifications with regard to security design in both the front and back end.

Here are the key things you should NOT do during your summer project:
1. Try to take breaks or holidays during the project period. Stick to the scheduled timeline.
2. Miscommunicate with the organization by telling them the institute wants project reviews. There are no interim reviews - just the final report submission.
3. Negatively criticize or degrade your institute/teachers in front of organization staff. Maintain a positive image.
4. Be overly negative or ask too many questions just to be certain of everything. Maintain an enthusiastic, solution-oriented attitude.
5. Ask to work on a different functional area than what the organization does. Focus on learning their business.

The document describes controls over duplicate invoice processing in SAP. It notes the risk of duplicate payments leading to misstated financials. The control is that SAP only allows payment on an invoice once. Testing found the control is not appropriately designed. The 'Check for Duplicate Invoices' setting had not been enabled for company codes. Message controls to check for duplicates were also not configured. The conclusion was that the control design was non-compliant.
This document is a dashboard summarizing the status of testing for an SAP system pre go-live assessment. It shows that testing is 92% effective with no ineffective testing and 8% still in progress.

Further, upon understanding the business processes, additional configurable
control opportunities were proposed to the ABC Ltd. project team. Upon
confirmation of the applicability/ feasibility of these controls, they were tested in
the Development environment to confirm they were properly designed and
operating effectively. All exceptions were discussed with the ABC Ltd. team for
inclusion in the SAP configuration, as applicable.
2) User Security Review:
Segregation of Duties Review – The SAP GRC Access Control Rule sets were
reviewed for adequacy and completeness. The review included rule sets and
underlying transaction codes.

reviewed for their alignment with leading practices and recommendations were
provided to strengthen the controls.
Privileged User Access Review and Critical Transaction Access Review – Since
the user roles and users were not set up completely in the system at the time of
this review, these are recommended to be included in the pre go-live check
procedures
