S/4HANA Readiness Check
SAP S/4HANA Readiness Check is conducted using an SAP-provided tool that evaluates whether an existing SAP ECC system is technically ready to be converted to SAP S/4HANA. It identifies the technical issues which must be resolved during this S/4 journey
Key focus areas to be analysed:
Custom code compatibility with S/4HANA
Add-on compatibility
Simplification Item List impact
Business Partner (CVI) readiness
Data consistency and volume
System sizing and target S/4 version
Unicode and archiving status
GETR uses following tools and methods for this check:
SAP Solution Manager and SAP Readiness Check 2.0
Data collection via SAP notes in ECC
Results upload to SAP and display in a web-based dashboard
Analysis of results to identify the areas (e.g. Simplification items, Integration touchpoints with other systems) which need attention before starting the transition to S/4HANA
Typical Outputs:
List of incompatible custom programs
Required functional adaptations
Mandatory pre-conversion activities
Recommended S/4HANA release
Risk areas and remediation effort indicators
S/4HANA Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of an organization’s current SAP ECC landscape in terms of technical, functional, and business perspectives to define the optimal S/4HANA migration strategy, scope, effort, cost, and roadmap.
GETR methodology includes following components:

Functional analysis: Impact of S/4HANA Simplification Items, Finance data model changes (e.g., Universal Journal), Business Partner (CVI) transformation, Process gaps & redesign opportunities, Fiori & UX adoption potential
Strategic Analysis: Brownfield vs Greenfield vs Bluefield transformation, Cloud vs On-prem decision, Innovation opportunities (Embedded Analytics, RPA, AI), Risk assessment
GETR methodology includes following components:
Recommended migration approach
High-level S/4HANA roadmap
Effort, cost, and duration estimate
Risk and mitigation plan
System and data migration strategy
Value and benefit realization outline
GETR has a proven expertise in moving your existing S/4HANA system from one release to a newer one (e.g. S/4 1909 → 2021 → 2023 etc.).
Common reason for upgrade: End of maintenance for older versions, access to new features and innovations, performance and security improvements, compliance and SAP support requirements.
GETR methodology for upgrade
Preparation: Check SAP Maintenance Planner, Run Simplification Item Catalog, Analyze custom code (SPAU/SPAU_ENH, SPAM), run SAP Readiness Check 2
System upgrade: Use SUM (Software Update Manager), Upgrade sandbox → dev → quality → production, Perform technical upgrade and data migration
Testing: Unit testing, System integration testing (SIT), User acceptance testing (UAT)
Post-upgrade activities: Transport adjustments, Custom code adaptation (SPAU/SPAU_ENH), Performance tuning, End-user training
GETR’s has strong expertise in rolling out S/4 template to new entities or countries maintains standardization across the organization while allowing for adaptations of local legal, statutory, fiscal, or operational requirements.
Typical scenarios:
Global organizations implementing S/4HANA plant-by-plant, country by country.
Mergers or acquisitions requiring SAP adoption
Legacy ERP systems being replaced progressively.
GETR uses SAP Activate methodology for managing the rollout projects:
Discover: Assess rollout scope, identify local legal/fiscal requirements, analyse delta vs. template.
Prepare: Team onboarding, set up project governance (template owners, local process owners, decision makers), rollout plan, landscape setup
Explore: “Fit-to-template” workshops to validate the global template, Identify local deviations/gaps
Realize: Copy the template configurations, configure localizations, unit testing, super user training, Integration testing, UAT, regression testing to ensure the stability of template.
Realize: Copy the template configurations, configure localizations, unit testing, super user training, Integration testing, UAT, regression testing to ensure the stability of template.
Deploy: Cutover, end user training, cleanse, map, load local legacy data into global structures, Go-live.
Run: Hypercare support, transition to AMS team.
We also offer following consulting services related to S/4 Rollout:
Global Template Creation: Core design including master data, processes, governance and reporting.
Regional Template Creation: Localization add-ons including tax, language, legal.
Local Implementation: Rollouts to specific countries or sites with minimal customizations
Many clients migrate to S/4HANA but still keep using the same age-old and complex processes which were built during ECC days. Reasons can be many – no budget, no time, no skilled resources etc. But nothing to worry. GETR has devised a unique offering to help such clients realize the tangible and measurable benefits in S/4HANA by implementing the newer and improvised processes, functionality, features in different modules.
We know the exact changes between ECC and S/4HANA by each module and how to implement them in manageable packages to ensure the risk-free transition to new business processes and stay within the available budget.
Below is the quick list of key benefit areas, specific use cases, and how to track their realization:
Manufacturing : Live MRP with MRP Live, Real-time visibility into shop floor data
Supply Chain : Predictive analytics and inventory optimization tools, Real-time inventory visibility and batch tracking
Procurement : Intelligent workflows and approvals, Integration with SAP Business Network for real-time supplier collaboration
Sales : Real-time order entry, Improvised inventory availability check using Advanced ATP (aATP), Automated order validation and pricing logic, Rebates & Settlement management, Integrated Credit Management using FSCM
Finance & Controlling : Single source of truth with Universal Journal, Faster period-end closing through real-time reconciliations between financial and controlling data
Automation of digital exchange of transactional procurement documents between buyers and suppliers is the need of hour. It transforms manual procurement processes into streamlined, touch-free workflows and makes them perfect for IT and procurement teams by eliminating the errors and driving efficiencies.
GETR has strong expertise in PO Collaboration and B2B Integration of buyer’s ERP systems (ECC or S/4HANA) directly with the SAP Business Network using standardized data formats like X12, EDIFACT, or cXML, and also with supplier’s ERP systems. Instead of uploading PDFs or keying data into SAP Business Network, all transactions flow seamlessly from machine to machine.
This includes documents such as:
Purchase Orders (EDI X12 850)
Purchase Order Changes (EDI X12 860)
Invoices (EDI X12 810)
Order Confirmation (EDI X12 855)
Advanced Shipping Notices (EDI X12 856)
Invoice Acknowledgements (EDI X12 997)
Key Benefits
Reduced Manual Work: Eliminate manual tasks, file uploads, duplicate data entry.
Fewer Errors: Significant reduction in mismatches and exceptions.
Faster Turnaround: Shorter cycles times due to real-time transmission.
GR/IR Visibility: Improved visibility to AP team due ASNs and invoices synced up.
S/4HANA Brownfield Migration
S/4 Brownfield Migration is about the conversion of your existing SAP ECC system into SAP S/4HANA, while keeping the existing data, configurations and business processes. It involves technical conversion, mandatory functional adaptations and data model simplifications (e.g. Finance).
Typical Brownfield Migration steps are as follows:
Prepare: SAP Readiness Check 2.0, Simplification Item analysis, Custom code impact analysis, Maintenance Planner check
Explore: Sandbox conversion to finalize the migration procedure, CVI preparation, Data consistency checks, Archiving recommendations
Realize: System conversion using SUM, Custom code remediation, Mandatory functional adjustments for Simplification items, Unit testing, SIT, UAT
Deploy: Cutover planning, Final cutover, Go-live
Though Brownfield Migration carries the existing technical debt and legacy custom code, it’s the faster way to adopt S/4HANA.
