Key Functional Topics in a System Conversion to SAP S/4HANA (openSAP)

During the popular course, System Conversion to SAP S/4HANA, learners expressed an interest in focusing on the technical and functional aspects of system conversion. This course will provide learners with a more detailed look at the functional topics with demos where possible and we provide a separate course focused on the technical topics.

The SAP S/4HANA Regional Implementation Group supports customers on their journey to SAP S/4HANA with their focus on customers transitioning to SAP S/4HANA who have chosen a system conversion approach. The topics in this course were selected based on the project experiences and frequently asked questions.

In this course, we’ll focus on the functional aspects of a system conversion. This will help you better prepare yourself and make you aware of the new tooling available.

In the first week, we’ll focus on the project management aspects of an SAP S/4HANA conversion project.
