OVERVIEW

What This Means for You

Procurement teams are expected to cut costs, control spend and manage supplier risk, while giving employees an easy way to buy what they need.

SAP S/4HANA Procurement provides self-service requisitioning, catalogues, sourcing with requests for quotation, contracts, flexible approval workflows, supplier evaluation and real-time spend analytics. It integrates with SAP Ariba for advanced sourcing and supplier collaboration.

Central procurement allows groups with several systems to manage purchasing from one hub.

Webtel implements each module using SAP Activate and fit-to-standard workshops. Your key users see the standard processes in a working system, agree what fits and what does not, and help test the result. Extensions are built side by side, on SAP Business Technology Platform where appropriate, to keep the core clean.

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.

FAQS

Common Questions

Do we need SAP Ariba?+

Not necessarily. S/4HANA covers operational procurement; Ariba adds advanced sourcing and supplier networks.

What is central procurement?+

A capability that lets a hub S/4HANA system manage purchasing across several connected systems.

Can approval rules be flexible?+

Yes. Flexible workflows set approvals by amount, category or other conditions.

Can we implement one module at a time?+

S/4HANA modules are closely integrated, so most projects implement core finance and logistics together. Some areas can be added in later phases, and we help you plan the order.

Do we need extensions?+

Only where standard processes do not meet a genuine business need. We start from SAP best practices and keep extensions to a minimum.

Is training included?+

Yes. Training is role-based and uses your own processes, so users learn what they will actually do.
