Many companies have moved from SAP ECC to S/4HANA. The business processes are the same; the data model and screens have modernised.
What changed
- Universal Journal (table ACDOCA): finance and controlling in one line-item table, so fewer reconciliations and real-time reporting.
- Business Partner (BP) replaces separate customer and vendor maintenance.
- Fiori apps in a browser alongside the classic SAP GUI.
- Embedded analytics: reports straight on live data.
Fiori launchpad
A home page of tiles, each an app: Manage Purchase Orders, Display Line Items, overview pages with charts. Search finds apps by name; personalise by adding tiles and groups. The Fiori apps library (online) lists every app with its role.
GUI and Fiori together
Most users use both: Fiori for approvals, overviews and new-style apps; GUI transactions for heavy data entry and classic reports. Many classic T-codes also open inside Fiori.
That’s the SAP Basics course. Next: SAP GUI scripting to automate what you’ve learned.
Transaction codes and menus are standard SAP ECC/S4HANA examples; your company may have custom codes, restricted authorisations or a different layout. Practise in a training or quality system.
