On the Other side SAP S/4HANA Finance

• One usual view of financial data which is consistent company-wide reduces reconciliation initiatives.
• A Universal Journal for financial/controlling data.
• Central Finance to consolidate multiple back-end data sources.

The main distinction is SAP S/4HANA comes under the technical module while SAP FICO comes under the functional Module to handle all financial and costing aspects of an organization while SAP S4 HANAis a Reporting tool. SAP FICO helps us to deal with all activities regarding accounts and it is integrated with various modules for example MM, PP, and SD.

SAP FICO is an important module of ERP and both SAP FI and CO modules store the financial transactions data. while SAP S4 HANA is the area of the S/4HANA suite dealing specifically with Financial Management solutions. It enables a Universal Journal for financial/controlling data, and Central Finance to consolidate multiple back-end data sources.

The S/4HANA Finance system could be executed and immediately replace all existing transactional or FICO systems at once. Nevertheless, as we understand the implementation of a system this essential is a time-consuming and sensitive project.

Central Finance is an intermediate way of implementing a S/4HANA Finance system that reduces any disruption by allowing the existing Finance and Controlling applications to remain in place and active, while still integrating those same transactions into the new S/4HANA Finance system by utilizing SLT data replication. This can reduce the risk of attempting to replace several transactional systems all at the same time.

Conclusion

S/4HANA is a company suite built on top of SAP’s in-memory platform, HANA. The S/4HANA suite includes ERP capabilities across many different business areas such as Human Resources, Sales, Finance, Procurement, Supply Chain, and more.
