So you get access early access to new technologies and developments. 3) It lets you simplify business processes and helps you to drive digital transformation. 4) It facilitates higher availability as well as great disaster management.
Cons:
We never encountered any problem with SAP S/4 HANA Cloud till now.
Why do we still suffer this program?
Comments: The overall experience is not great. It's a game of mental gymnastics every time I need to use the program, having to memorize a specific order of oddly placed button clicks to accomplish simple tasks. Our clients who use SAP always speak in SAP-jargon and somehow expect us to understand them, making the experience worse.
Pros:
It was slightly better than SAP 3 or whatever the native desktop app we switched from was. It has okay customization options so you can remove some unused buttons, but that was the only improvement.
Cons:
I honestly dread hearing that we are taking on a new client that uses SAP. Sure, SAP can be a powerful tool and has a lot of features, but it is too overwhelming. You need a weeklong course to just understand the basics of this program. Every function (and there are SO MANY) is not clearly labeled, instead using some alpha-numeric code (VL02, MIGO, etc), or a title that doesn't really match what it is you are trying to do. I've never used a program that takes so many button clicks to accomplish simple tasks like printing a Bill of Lading. The UI is extremely outdated.
Streamlining Retail Supply chains with SAP S/4HANA
Pros:
SAP S/4HANA offers immediate visibility into inventory, demand, and supplier performance, optimizing inventory management and reducing stockouts, while seamlessly integrating procurement, production, warehousing, and distributions, fostering, collaboration, and streamlining.
Cons:
Complex implementation is one of the major cons, it demands careful planning, skilled personnel, and substantial training investment. There are more challenges while comes to customizing SAP S/4 HANA compared to SAP MM .
A must have for your business
Pros:
I love the convenience of being able to track inventory, cost, quality plans and so much more all in the same application
Cons:
Getting comfortable with the layout and then BOOM an update
