If the company currently does not have SAP APO which functionalities can they leverage in S/4 HANA?

[Shubham1]

Hello All

I have recently started exploring & reading about SAP S/4 HANA  - Simple Logistics.

We may have cases wherein our clients does not have SAP APO but still would wish to utilize SAP S/4 HANA product.

Need to know all such features of HANA S/4 which clients can leverage irrespective of SAP APO in current business environment.

Thanks.

Hi Shubham,

As far as I understand: firstly SAP APO, CRM, BI which were earlier treated as separate or extensions will all be under one umbrella and in one server-S4 HANA and I believe part of the licence of S4 HANA.

Secondly, SAP customers might loose out on some of the smart features that are offered as S4 HANA integrated with APO- for example:

ATP functionality will not be part of the SD anymore it'll be part of GATP & Flow manufacturing works in unison with APO.

It really depends on what is your client's industry and if they're already on SAP without APO--maybe they need to check the simplification list on functionalities that will be discontinued.

However, if APO is part of S4 HANA you may want to convince your client to utilize it.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Raghu.

The term "simple logistics" is not used any more by SAP, because it's part of S/4 HANA Enterprise Management 1511.
