SAP S/4HANA Procurement

integrated. automated. efficient.

SAP S/4HANA Procurement encompasses solutions for sourcing and procurement processes within the S/4HANA product suite. The solutions enable seamless end-to-end processes through innovative scenarios and functionality. The central storage of supplier information, secure access to the latest data and key figures, and easy tracking of one's own expenditures offer users an enormous increase in efficiency. The automation of manual processes enables scenarios in which distributed data storage is no longer required. An intuitive user interface guides users, buyers and approvers through the system in a convenient and self-explanatory manner. All common purchasing channels (catalogs, marketplaces, free text, forms, etc.) are supported via a central access point for users. The native integration with the Ariba Business Network offers you a simple way to exchange documents directly and in real time in the collaboration process.

In particular, companies that are about to start an ERP transformation to SAP S/4HANA will benefit from the flexible architecture options offered by SAP S/4HANA Procurement. At the same time, the Fiori interface of SAP S/4HANA Procurement offers a state-of-the-art look and feel and an improved user experience.

We advise you to find individually suitable solutions for you from the combined solution offer:

SAP S/4HANA Central Procurement

If you use several ERP systems and are looking for a central solution for strategic and operational procurement, SAP S/4HANA Central Procurement is the optimal solution. It is suitable, for example, as a follow-up solution to SAP SRM or as an early solution to a longer-term ERP transformation. The solution, which can be used flexibly as a cloud or on-premise version, is decoupled from master data and can be used with artificial intelligence use cases or innovations from machine learning. Integration with SAP Ariba for operational and strategic procurement allows seamless end-to-end processes.

We provide you with individual advice on the selection and implementation of the right solutions for you. The possibilities are versatile: Which one suits you best, we decide together with you according to your needs and based on our experience – a step-by-step implementation is also possible.

 

We offer you an implementation and deployment concept individually tailored to your processes in order to optimally use the advantages of the modules and the appropriate deployment variant. A distinction can be made between three deployment options: For example, the on-premise variant offers the advantage of comprehensive, more flexible customization, while the two cloud variants (Essentials and Extended) offer a managed service and automated updates with innovations.
