Upgrade to S/4HANA 2023 with new business improvements for a petrochemicals company

S/4HANA 2023Shell conversionAMS

The need

The company ran a stable S/4HANA system on an older release that was leaving mainstream maintenance, and structural changes in the business needed new processes.

What we did

  • Upgraded to SAP S/4HANA on-premise 2023 using a shell conversion
  • Remediated custom ABAP code and discontinued the HCM component
  • Ran workshops with business users and configured improvements in finance, costing, production, sales and procurement that formed part of the upgrade business case
  • Carried out cutover and go-live on the new release

The result

Live on S/4HANA 2023 without any significant issue, with the improvements the business case promised. We now provide AMS, including RICEF developments, process changes and automation.

Questions

FAQ

What is a clean core?
Keeping S/4HANA close to standard and building custom logic as extensions on the SAP Business AI Platform. It keeps upgrades fast and cheap and gives AI a reliable foundation.
Can AI help with upgrades?
Yes. AI-assisted tools now help with custom-code analysis, test generation and data preparation, which reduces the time and risk of upgrades.
Is lift-and-shift worth it if we will move to S/4HANA later?
Often, yes. It removes data-centre cost and risk now and gives you a cloud base that makes the later conversion faster.
