What has changed? Where to get more information?
Logistics Execution Transportation (LE-TRA) is not the target architecture within SAP OSS # 2270199
S/4HANA. The functionality is available in SAP S/4HANA but not considered as future
technology. The alternative functionality is selected features of Transportation
Management which is already available within SAP S/4HANA.

The Warehouse Management (LE-WM) is not the target architecture anymore within OSS # 2270211
SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition (Functionality available in SAP S/4HANA on-
premise edition 1511 delivery but not considered as future technology. Functional
equivalent is available.). The (already available) alternative functionality is Extended
Warehouse Management (SAP EWM).

Since Transportation Management (TM) is available internally as part of S/4HANA OSS # 2465978
1709, customers can now have the TM integration in a single system also. Also this
has impact to the side-by-side integration with S/4HANA 1709 onwards. The mapping
requirement for the posting of the freight settlement document in S/4HANA 1709 is
now changed. From S/4HANA 1709 release onwards, the usage of the view
TCM_V_PUR_MAP and the underlying customizing table TCM_C_PUR_MAP have
been discontinued.

The mapping requirement for the posting of the forwarding settlement document in OSS # 2639847
S/4HANA 1809 is now changed. Forwarding settlement document from stand alone
SAP TM is transferred to S/4HANA 1809 for posting using A2A service interface. The
mapping requirement for the posting of the forwarding settlement document in
S/4HANA 1809 is now changed. From S/4HANA 1809 release onwards, the usage of
the view TCM_V_SLS_MAP and the underlying customizing table TCM_C_SLS_MAP
have been discontinued. For posting the intracompany settlement document in
S/4HANA 1809, the usage of the view TCM_V_TCD_MAP , TCM_V_TCDPURMAP and
the underlying customizing tables TCM_C_TCD_MAP and TCM_C_TCD_PURMAP
respectively have been discontinued.

When a conversion is planned from ECC or S/4 instance to S/4HANA 1809 or higher, a OSS # 2668899
pre-check is required. This pre-check is executed to ensure that the setup and
components are compatible with the target release. The correction instructions
attached to the OSS notes should be implemented.

Database table VBBS contained pre-aggregated sales requirements. The requested OSS # 2267745
and confirmed quantities were aggregated on a daily basis. With the new HANA ATP,
we do not need pre-aggregation anymore, and therefore this table is obsolete.
Instead of the VBBS we use the VBBE, where each ATP-relevant requirement is
explicitly stored. The old ERP-ATP check code is also redirected to use VBBE.

Sales & Operations Planning (SOP) will be replaced by Integrated Business Planning OSS # 2268064
IBP (Functionality available in SAP S/4HANA delivery but not considered as future
technology). Integrated Business Planning supports all SOP features plus advanced
statistical forecasting, multi-level supply planning, an optimizer, collaboration tools,
an Excel-based UI, and Web-based UIs.

Demand forecasting estimates future material demand based on historic material OSS # 2268100
consumption data. The material demand forecast can be copied into planned
independent requirements or it can be used to compute safety stocks and reorder
points. HANA has a built in library of forecasting algorithms, which could be utilized
for forecasting material demand. A future demand forecasting solution will probably
perform the forecasting algorithm in HANA utilizing HANA's forecasting library.
The app shows how volume, price, and mix effects influence sales revenue variance. https://help.sap.com/viewer/5e23dc8fe9be4fd
In addition, 'benchmark' tables and charts show actual / plan or actual / previous year
data displayed by country, customer, distribution channel, or product sold.

This app help to manage costing runs more efficiently by running estimates for https://help.sap.com/doc/474a13c5e9964c849
multiple plants and company codes at the same time. Runs can be set to repeat
automatically at selected intervals. New run can be created manually or copied from
existing runs. This app replaces the following apps,
1. Edit costing run
2. Delete costing run

The fiori app 'Import Financial Plan Data' is enhanced in SAP S/4HANA 1809. This https://help.sap.com/doc/474a1
feature now, allows us to derive values such as company code, functional area, COPA 3c5e9964c849c3a14d6c04339b5
characteristics while importing plan data. /100/en-
US/9b36be40191e494e807f9bd

This new app in SAP S/4HANA 1809, enables user to create, edit, and delete bank fee https://help.sap.com/doc/474a13c5e9964c849
conditions. After defining, we can assign conditions to bank services using the same
app. A validation check can also be performed on the imported bank fees to identify if
there is any mistake in bank service charges.

With this new feature in SAP S/4HANA 1809, users can now add custom fields to https://help.sap.com/doc/474a13c5e9964c849
product allocation object header data in the Configure Product Allocation app and to
product allocation sequence header data in the Manage Product Allocation
Sequences app.

This new app in SAP S/4HANA 1809, allows to easily access key information and KPIs https://help.sap.com/viewer/5e23dc8fe9be4fd
within the Sales Accounting area, and gain insight into current trends. This is a central
source of information for the sales accountant, and offers a range of filters and built-
in navigation to related apps.

In costing runs, quantity structure explosion is now part of the selection step rather https://help.sap.com/doc/474a13c5e9964c849
than a separate, optional step in the process flow. The multilevel quantity structure
explosion is possible if the semi finished or raw material is part of the material to be
costed
In this feature user can activate the derivation of profitability characteristics for G/L https://help.sap.com/doc/474a13c5e9964c849
line items that do not carry an account assignment to a profitability segment.
Activation is possible for cost or revenue line items with the following account
assignments:
i) Cost center
ii) Internal order
iii) Project
iv) Sales order
v) Production order
vi) Maintenance order

In SAP S/4HANA 1809, the ‘Schedule billing output’ app is enhanced. Now we can https://help.sap.com/doc/474a13c5e9964c849
specify a sort order for the billing documents that include output jobs. We can
choose from a selection of pre-defined sorting criteria such as,
1. Billing Document / Item / Channel (Descending)
2. Partner Function / Customer / Channel (Ascending)
3.Channel / Billing Document / Item (Descending)

This new application in SAP S/4HANA 1809, can be used to analyze the physical https://help.sap.com/doc/474a13c5e9964c849
inventory in the company to identify opportunities for process improvement. This
application enables us to:
1. Drill-down up to the individual physical inventory document item
2. Define filters and default filters to narrow the search scope
3. Choose from many different available dimensions and key figures

SAP S/4HANA features MRP Live, a new MRP run optimized for SAP S/4HANA. MRP OSS #2268085
Live reads material receipts and requirements, calculates shortages, and creates
planned orders and purchase requisitions all in one database procedure. This https://blogs.sap.com/2017/05/22/mrp-innova
minimizes the volume of data that has to be copied from the database server to the
application server and back, which considerably improves performance.
A new fiori app which allows to see all issues concerning master data that were https://help.sap.com/doc/474a13c5e9964c849
detected during an MRP live planning run. The system displays all the issues and
restrictions as well as success messages. Filters are available to restrict the issues that
are displayed. However, the content of this list is refreshed every time MRP Live is
carried out and an accepted issue will reappear in the list after the next planning run
if it has not been solved.

With this new feature in SAP S/4HANA 1809, BOM material and full products can be https://help.sap.com/doc/474a13c5e9964c849
processed in Advanced Return Management. The system supports BOM materials,
irrespective of whether pricing and inventory management takes place for the BOM
header material or the components and treats BOM items for header or components
that are not relevant for inventory management like a single service material.

In S/4HANA different follow-up activities can be selected for items in customer https://help.sap.com/doc/474a13c5e9964c849
returns. Previously, the default follow-up activity set is 'Receive into plant'. Now, we
can select from Ship to Supplier, Direct Shipment to Supplier, Inspection at Customer
Site, and Material Remains at Customer Site follow-up activities.

A new fiori app 'Goods movement analysis' allows to analyze the goods movement in https://help.sap.com/doc/474a13c5e9964c849
the company. With this app, we can use generic drill-down to the individual material
document item, define filters and default filter to narrow the search scope to specific
needs, choose data from many different available dimensions and key figures.
In SAP S/4HANA user can add new depreciation area even after Go live with help of https://help.sap.com/doc/474a13c5e9964c849
BADI. This was not possible before 1809. The copied new depreciation area will not
have data of previous fiscal year and depreciation posting of current fiscal year.

A new fiori app which allows to post the receipt of goods with reference to a PO, https://help.sap.com/doc/474a13c5e9964c849
which contains order items with single account assignments and order items with
shelf life expiration date or production date. This app supports a check of the shelf
life expiration date, before posting the goods receipt.

New functionality to manage bank master data in SAP S/4HANA. House bank account OSS#227040071
creation is no longer a customizing object that can be transported. It can only be
created as master data through fiori app. SAP GUI transaction is not available for bank https://blogs.sap.com/2017/08/21/house-bank
master data related transactions.

In SAP S/4HANA 1809 release, we can perform split analysis for billing documents in
the 'create billing documents and manage billing documents' app. This feature helps
to review, why the system has produced separate billing documents, which might https://help.sap.com/doc/474a13c5e9964c849
have been expected to be billed collectively. It compares any two billing documents
and lists the header and business partner fields that have differing content.

This is a new app launched to check the fulfillment status of the sales order. All sales
order with/without issues can be visualized analytically. Issues can be resolved https://help.sap.com/doc/474a13c5e9964c849
directly from this app. This app is accessible from any sales related apps.

Pool tables and Cluster tables will not be supported in SAP S/4HANA 1809 release OSS# 2577406
onwards. Automatic transformation of pool tables and cluster tables to transparent
tables and the removal of table pools and table clusters is integrated into the upgrade
or migration to S/4 HANA 1809.

Asset accounting replaces classical asset accounting. New asset accounting offers
multi GAAP asset accounting where each GAAP is integrated with ledgers, in universal OSS# 22703887071
journal. All depreciation areas have equal status in new asset accounting. Separate http://www.erpfixers.com/blog/2017/8/28/intr
accounting-principle-specific documents are posted for each accounting principle or
valuation. A new App is introduced, which enables an easy access to key information
and KPIs within the asset accounting area.

https://help.sap.com/doc/474a13c5e9964c849

In SAP S/4HANA, we can transfer statistical pricing condition of customer invoices to https://help.sap.com/doc/474a13c5e9964c849
extension ledger in financial accounting. This improves information availability for
management reporting. This feature is similar to the one available in costing based
CO-PA.

In SAP S/4HANA, a new output management approach has been implemented and is OSS# 2267376
set as the default for newly created billing documents. The new output management
is called as SAP S/4HANA output control, only supports the "pure" output channels, OSS# 24070717071
while the NAST-based output can also be used for several kinds of post-processing.
The new configuration is based on BRFplus.
