How SAP S/4HANA Makes the Digital Core Real

• Concept: “Take the best of all worlds” (e.g.
ledger, market segment, coding block, etc.)
• One line item table with full detail for all
applications - for instant insight & easy
extensibility
• This replaces the “logical document” of SAP
Accounting 1.0.
• Data stored only once: no more reconciliation
needed - by design
• Reduction of memory footprint through
elimination of redundancy.
• Fast multi-dimensional reporting
possible without replicating data to business
warehouse (BW).
• If BW is in place anyway, only one single
extractor needed.
• Secondary cost elements are now
G/L accounts.
