The Hidden Risks of S/4HANA: What Production Planners Need to Know Now

For SAP-run manufacturers planning—or struggling through—a move to S/4HANA, this white paper delivers clarity where it counts. Most migrations focus on technical lift; few consider the operational risks that create profit leakage. This paper demystifies the critical production and capacity planning shifts between ECC and S/4HANA—from mandatory Production Versions to the evolution of PP-DS and Fiori-based execution.

If you're a CEO, COO, CSCO, or CIO under pressure to deliver ROI from your SAP investment, you’ll discover what’s changing, what stays the same, and how to turn the transition into a performance accelerator—not a strategic drag.

You’ll learn:

  • Why production versions are non-negotiable in S/4HANA
  • What’s replacing the Graphical Planning Board
  • How embedded PP-DS improves planning speed and precision
  • Where Fiori apps unlock real-time visibility and proactive control

This is more than a system upgrade—it’s an opportunity to stop leakage, recover trapped value, and build a supply chain that delivers on time, every time.
