This document summarizes the key impacts of migrating to SAP S/4HANA Finance. Some of the main points are: - Many classic SAP modules will be sunset such as classic asset accounting, credit management, cash management and others. New SAP S/4HANA Finance modules must be used instead. - Summarization hierarchies and summary tables will be removed and replaced by new CDS views for on-the-fly summarization and reporting. - A new integrated planning solution is available to combine financial and management accounting planning with an improved user experience using Excel and BI capabilities. - Variance calculation, WIP calculation, and reporting will have new programs and processes optimized for

1. Process Area Sub-Area Impact

sender cost centres.
Activity Price
Calculation

Plan-to-Produce Master Data
Origin Group of the Delivered material must not be changed
Multiple operation sequences and parallel sequence are not
supported.
Operation split for scheduling is not supported.
Period End Close
Variance
Calculation
Target cost versions other than 0 not supported
The explanation function provides less detailed information
than before. No explanation is provided for scrap calculation
"Write Line Items" should be selected in the Variance Key
definition
Minor differences are not supported.
Primary price variances are not supported.
Variance categories can be posted to different GL Accounts
New T Codes, same as Classic Ones, with a suffix 'H' (i.e.
KKS1H)
Performance improvement of the Variance calculation program
using the power of HANA
The Close schedules must be updated to include the new
programs
WIP Calculation
New T. Code KKAOH has been introduced for calculation of
WIP
Using KKAOH, WIP can only be calculated on production
orders, not on product cost collectors or process orders
New WIP report helps to see the details of the WIP GL Account
broken down into Primary and Secondary costs of Production
orders

2. Performance improvement of the WIP calculation program
using the power of HANA
The Close schedules must be updated to include the new
programs
WIP calculation in only one version (Legal Valuation) is
supported
Assessments &
Settlements
To take full advantage of the SAP HANA architecture,assessment cycles and
settlementrules to ensure they are working with account- based profitabilityanalysis
Overhead
Calculation
The standard dependencies (D000 – D080) are supported. The
customer-defined dependencies are not supported
A quantity-based overhead rate should not be referenced by
another quantity-based overhead rate.
Object currency conversion is not supported for quantity-based
overhead rates. In such cases, the object currency must be the

Users need to configure the amount using the controlling area
currency in the Costing Sheet.
Order and Business Process are not supported as the object to
be credited.
From/To origin are not supported. All units of measure of the
cost elements defined in the Base must be compatible.

CreditManagement
FI-AR-CR (CreditManagement) will be sunsetin next release.FSCM-Credit
Managementmustbe used
AssetAccounting Technical
Classical AA no longer available. This applies across the
system. New AA must be used
Enterprise Extension EA-FIN is MUST. Using New GL is MUST
Leading Valuation can take place in any dep. Area. No longer
necessary to use Area 01 for this
SAP EHP7 with business function FIN_AA_PARALLEL requires
us to use Ledger Approach only. SFIN Supports both ledger
and accounts approach
ALE transfer is not available in New AA
The batch input method for transactions based on AB01 is not
available. New BAPIs must be used. Any existing interfaces
may have to be reworked
New T Codes, same as Classic Ones, with a suffix 'L'. Old T
Codes no longer available. Auto direct to New T Code if one
uses the older one
Postings
Leading and Parallel Dep. Area can now post in real time.
- Hence, Concept of Delta Dep. Area is Obsolete

3. Asset postings (i.e. separate documents) can be made
separately to each Dep. Area / Accounting principle, using
AB01L
- The restriction of transaction types to depreciation areas no
longer applies
- User Exit APCF_DIFFERENT_AMOUNTS_GET no longer
supported
Simplified management of goods that are to be capitalized in
accordance with one set of accounting principles, but are to be
posted to expense in accordance with a different set
The integrated posting of investment support on assets using FI
transactions is not supported. Tcode ABIFL must be used
Documents before changeover from Classical to New AA can’t
be reversed. An Inverse posting must be made
Work lists made in AA before the changeover may not work.
Hence, all pending tasks with the WL must be processed before
the migration or New WL must be created after the Migration
For all asset postings, all posting dep. Areas are updated in real
time. Hence, ASKBN is now required only for Dep. Areas that
manage reserves for Spl. Depreciation only
Joint Venture Accounting (Oil &
Mining) Not Compatible with New Asset Accounting
Planning
New Planning Solution brings financial accounting (FI) and
management accounting (CO) together. Flexible Top-Down and
Bottom-Up planning function made available
The ability to aggregate and disaggregate data quickly makes it
possible to perform simulations and forecasting much faster
than was previously possible.
User friendly MS Excel front end and Embedded BI cube
makes planning easier. Sample BI cubes are integral part of the
SAP now
SAP also delivers a program that automatically analyzes
existing customer-specific CO-PA dimensions and generates
the corresponding BI objects.
As this planning solution is completely new, it has no impact on
existing plan data. SAP will not provide migration functionality.
Project Systems Master Data
To take best advantage of the SAP HANA selection capabilities,
