OVERVIEW

What This Means for You

Manufacturers face constant pressure on cost, lead time and quality, while customers expect accurate delivery dates. Doing this well needs planning, production, procurement, quality and finance to work from the same data.

SAP S/4HANA brings these together. MRP Live runs planning on the HANA database in minutes rather than overnight, advanced available-to-promise gives reliable delivery dates, and production orders, quality inspections and maintenance all post to the Universal Journal, so product costs and margins are visible in real time.

S/4HANA supports discrete, process and repetitive manufacturing, make-to-stock and make-to-order, and can be extended with SAP Digital Manufacturing for shop-floor execution.

Webtel delivers S/4HANA using SAP Activate, starting from SAP best practices and industry content. Fit-to-standard workshops show your teams how processes work in the standard system, so changes are limited to what genuinely sets your business apart. That keeps the core clean, makes upgrades easier and shortens the project.

COMMON CHALLENGES

What Usually Gets in the Way

These are the issues we see most often. Each one is planned for from the start, so it does not surface in the week before go-live.

01

Slow planning runs

Overnight MRP means plans are out of date.

02

Unreliable delivery dates

Customers are promised dates that cannot be met.

03

Hidden costs

Product costs are known only after month end.

04

Disconnected quality

Quality data sits outside the ERP.

AT A GLANCE

What Makes SAP S/4HANA Different

SAP S/4HANA is SAP's current-generation ERP for mid-sized and large enterprises. It runs on the SAP HANA in-memory database, with a simplified data model and a modern user experience.

One data model

Finance and logistics share one source of truth, including the Universal Journal.

Real-time

Reports and planning run on live data instead of overnight batches.

SAP Fiori

Role-based apps that work on desktop, tablet and phone.

Embedded analytics

Insight inside the transactions people already use.

Cloud or on-premise

Public cloud, private cloud or your own data centre.
