DATABASE ECC which can be run on Oracle , IBM DB2 etc

Data accessed from Hard disk ...access of which takes


time based on table structure and volume of data

There is lot ofTables in Ecc6 ..... index tables, total


tables etc in ECC6 , for which system gets slow and
also consultants need to remenber all tables

In ECC , FI GL accounts are mapped to CO


primary cost elements . You need to create Cost
Application elements separately in CO module

SIMPLE FINANCE -S4 HANA

S4H can only be run on Hana database

In-memory database means that data is read from


memory i.e data always reside in main memory 
RAM (though Write happens in hard disk) and hence
in-memory database reads data much faster w.r.t
traditional databases (fetching the data from hard
disk)

Hana’s column based tables provide faster access


(as only affected columns need to be read in a
query), better compression (due to few distinct
values compared to rows), parallel processing
(different columns can be easily processed parallely)

OLTP and OLAP capability in same system with real


time reporting and predictive analysis

There will be no aggregate (total), index and history


tables in S4H.  Aggregates are created dynamically
based on line item table instantaneously (on the fly).

S4H combines the data structures of different


components (for FI , AA , CO , CO-PA and ML) into a
single line item table ACDOCA, called as Universal
journal . It eliminates several aggregate and index
tables. 

MATDOC is also a new line item table for inventory


management and it eliminates 26+ tables. Material
documents will be stored in MATDOC but not in MKPF
or MSEG tables.

 In S4H, only one field of universal journal is used to


store both GL account and cost element. Cost
elements (both primary and secondary) are now GL
accounts and hence created / maintained (in FS00)
with relevant Cost element category.

S4H is technically very similar to new GL of ECC due


to its data structure. Customers using classic GL need
not use Document split or parallel ledger.
However, new GL’s functionality (Parallel ledger) is a
pre-requisite for new Asset accounting .

Account based CO-PA is now the default option with Costing based CO-PA as optional. Both options can be run simultaneously

All customer and vendor master need to integrated /


migrated as Business partner

Material number can now be 40 characters from


existing 18. It is a optional feature. Impact of this
extension on custom coding, interfaces, other SAP
applications need to be evaluated before switching on
40 characters.

ECC’s FI-AR-CR is replaced by credit management of


FSCM (Financial supply chain management) . FSCM-
CR is based on a distributed architecture which allows
interfaces with external credit rating agencies. 
Traditional FI-AR-CR credit control setting requires
high degree of manual work. However, FSCM-CR has
advanced features like
Credit rule engine for automatic risk scoring & credit
limit calculations
Automatic update to master data on approval of
credit limit etc.
Work flow for credit events etc
Activation of material ledger (ML) is mandatory. ML
valuates inventory in multiple currencies.Traditionally
inventory is mainly valuated with a single currency in
SAP ERP. ML allows valuation in two additional
currencies. Today’s global organizations operating in
different countries desire to valuate inventory in
multiple currencies. Like for example, a company in
Norway dealing with oil needs to maintain their books
in Norwegian currency (NOK), they will also like to
evaluate their inventory in USD as oil is traded in
international market in USD. This functionality is
available in Release 1511 of S/4 HANA.

There is no concept of Blueprinting in S4H implementation. S4H has introduced new ‘Activate’ methodology. SAP offers pre-bu
