Suite on SAP HANA
• SAP has broken its past limitations to help Customers Run Simple e.g. digital environment,
flexible business processes, business analysis across multiple dimensions, predictive
analysis, data volumes, system consolidations, choice of deployment
• S/4 HANA is built on SAP HANA for simplifications e.g. no indices, no aggregates
• Designed with SAP Fiori for an integrated user experience
• Choice of deployment e.g. on premise, cloud, hybrid
• S/4 HANA Quick Facts-10x smaller data footprint, 7x higher throughput, 1800x faster
analytics and reporting, 4x less process steps. Source: SAP Partner Edge

• The move to in-memory computing on the SAP HANA platform represents the most
significant innovation in enterprise applications in recent history. In-memory computing
opens the door to unprecedented capabilities such as flexible, real-time reporting and
establishing a solid foundation for predictive analytics.
• Simple Finance is a natural evolution of the HANA platform. As in-memory computing has
matured, it has grown from a reporting solution to a database solution to a platform off of
which all ERP can run.

Accounting document
The variance posting is split into different GL accounts as per various variance categories.

WIP Analysis
Work in Progress (WIP):
• WIP Positions are now available with a higher granularity that shows the underlying primary and
secondary costs
• The Analysis is achieved by linking GL WIP line items with settlement line items via the order
number in the GL Line item.

within the
Period • Correct asset acquisition values at any time - now also for valuation areas
with “special items” - no more periodic posting run required
31 SAP Simple Finance – Controlling Changes Copyright © 2015 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved.
Accelerated Month End Close
•
Period close and reporting processes in profitability and cost analysis are
based on line items rather than persistent aggregates.
•
Complex calculations that are performed at period close, for example, the
calculation of work in process at actual costs, determination of production
variances for production orders, and results analysis for sales orders, are
pushed down to the SAP HANA database in order to accelerate the close.
•
In addition, the selection of the relevant data for period close processes
such as overhead calculation and settlement has been adjusted to take
advantage of the SAP HANA database in-memory capabilities.
•
Eliminates end-of-period batch job bottlenecks.
•
Continuous Intercompany Reconciliation.
•
Enhanced reports use a logical view that combines the financial accounting
(FI) line item, the CO line item, and the CO-PA dimensions (where available)
to provide an income statement broken down by market segments.

Unified Master Data
GL Account & Cost Element – Details
P&L accounts can be classified as cost elements that means cost elements
became GL accounts with a specific semantic
Cost element type remains. So secondary cost elements are still only posted
from CO allocations
Default account assignments maintained in cost element master are
migrated to OKB9
40 SAP Simple Finance – Controlling Changes Copyright © 2015 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved.
Unified Master Data
Effects on reporting
Secondary cost elements appear in GL reporting.
Postings on secondary cost elements are always balanced to zero
In ECC postings on secondary cost elements effecting GL reporting
entities (e.g. profit center, functional area) created real time integration
postings.
The real time integration mapped secondary to primary accounts.
In the past postings on secondary cost elements appeared in GL
reporting on primary accounts.
With SAP Accounting postings on secondary cost elements appear
directly on the secondary cost element in GL reporting.
The P&L version have to be updated accordingly

Universal Journal Entry – Table View
Architecture
Concept: “Take the best of all
worlds” (e.g. ledger, market
segment, coding block, etc.)

detail for all applications - for
instant insight & extensibility
This replaces the “logical
document” of release 1.0.
Secondary cost elements are
G/L accounts.
Data stored only once: no
reconciliation needed by design
Reduction of memory footprint
through elimination of
redundancy.

New reports allow users to drill down deeper by selecting cost center/activity-type
combinations for the production orders in product reports. They also support a wide-

the costs were incurred.
