Question: Review Fiori "Save as a New Tile" feature steps
Answer: In SAP Fiori, "Save as a New Tile" allows you to create a persistent shortcut to a currently running Fiori app or a filtered view of a worklist, saving your specific selections, filters, or the app's current state. Clicking this tile later will launch the app or worklist directly in that saved, pre-configured state, saving you time by eliminating the need to re-enter the same filters or settings each time.
This feature is much easier compare to the Transaction Variant in the ECC system or S/4 Backend Transaction Code. AND the Fiori feature is available for both the Classic Fiori Group as well the new "Spaces and Pages".

Question: S/4HANA MM, PP, SD Table.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: Review the Business Partner.
Answer: Classic transaction code in ECC for Vendor Master Creation/Change/Display (XK01, XK02, XK03, MK01, MK02, MK03, FK01, FK02, FK03 etc) are now Obsolete in S/4HANA which is replaced by a Single transaction code "BP". In SAP S/4HANA, the Business Partner (BP) is the central and leading object used to maintain master data for both customers and suppliers. It serves as a single point of entry for managing various types of business relationships.
• The Business Partner is used to create the following:
• The BP approach aims to harmonize master data across different SAP modules and applications, improving data consistency and simplifying data management.• BP for Vendor or Customer via "Organization" (to create Vendor or Customer)• BP for Individuals via "Persons"
• BP for Groups of People via "Groups"
Advantages:• Reduced Redundancy: Basic data like name, address, and bank details are stored centrally at the BP level, avoiding duplication.• Improved Data Consolidation: Centralized data management makes it easier to consolidate and analyze information related to business partners.• Flexibility: The BP model allows for multiple addresses, address usages, and relationships to be managed for a single BP.

Answer:
SAP official reference for the P2P scenario:

Question: Review the S/4 "Self-Service Procurement Scenario".
In SAP S/4HANA, "Self-Service Procurement" is a streamlined process that allows employees to request goods (consumables) and services directly. The process is similar to shopping in the B2C on-line shipping and is designed empower the user to make request and perform confirm of goods receipt via simplified FIORI Apps.
Answer: See the following Blog Posts and online help for the Self-Service Procurement Scenario introduced in S/4HANA:

Lean services is newly introduced process in SAP S/4HANA to simplify service procurement. For this scenario:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: Review the S/4 "LEAN Service Procurement Scenario".
_Blogged.jpg)
- SAP introduced Product Type Group "2" in the Material Type "SERV" that can be used to create a LEAN Service Material Master (instead of using the Service Master via AC03).
- Instead of using Service Condition, the Purchasing Info Record can be use for the LEAN Service Material.
- MIGO and ML81N is not relevant AND SAP introduce a FIORI App for the Service Entry of LEAN Service PO, but it still will create a SES (Service Entry Sheet) similar to the Service Master scenario.
- The Result the Approval of the LEAN Service will create Material Document with FICO postings.
- Invoice entry is the same for the LEAN Service PO (via MIRO).

Question: Why is the "TEMPLATE" button not available on both ME51N and ME21N ?
.jpg)
.jpg)
How to Enable the Template Functionality:
- To use the template functionality, your system requires the activation of the relevant business function. This is usually a task performed by a system administrator or SAP consultant. Activate the Business Function: The functionality is available in the business function LOG_MM_CI_3 (Logistics - Materials Management, Cross-Industry 3). Your system must have this business function implemented and activated in the configuration settings. This is a one-time configuration step for the entire SAP client.
- Ensure Proper Authorization: Once the business function is active, users may also require the appropriate authorization object M_TEMPLATE to create, change, and delete public templates. A system administrator can manage these permissions.
- Verify the SAP System Version: This feature was introduced as new functionality in SAP ECC EHP 5 (Enhancement Package 5). If your organization uses an older version, the functionality may not be available.

Question: Review of Contract "Consumption" and "Leakage".
Answer: See the following demo example for Contract Consumption and Leakage
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: Review of an example calculation of Vendor Evaluation in S/4HANA.
Answer: SAP S/4HANA's vendor (supplier) evaluation provides continuous monitoring using both "hard facts" (like on-time delivery, quantity, quality from business documents) and "soft facts" (from questionnaires), creating scorecards for performance comparison, with configurable criteria, weighting, and real-time data processing for improved supplier management, moving beyond older systems' data batching.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: Review of "Purchasing Overview" Analytics.
Answer: The SAP Fiori Procurement Overview app (App ID F1990) offers a centralized, actionable dashboard for procurement teams to monitor KPIs, analyze spend, and manage tasks like overdue purchase orders (POs) and requisitions, using smart, filterable cards for quick insights into contracts, suppliers, and material groups, simplifying data access and enabling faster, data-driven decisions within SAP S/4HANA.

Question: Review of the new "Output Control" in S/4HANA.
Answer: For purchase order output control in SAP Fiori, the core transactional app is Manage Purchase Orders (F0842A), which allows you to view and preview outputs using the Output Parameter Determination (OPD) settings and the Manage Output Items app for processing. The Output Parameter Determination (OPD) app (often managed by configuration experts) defines how outputs are generated (channel, recipient, form), while F0842A lets users interact with those outputs (preview, retry), and the Manage Output Items (F2279) app processes them in bulk.
The main menu path for SAP S/4HANA Output Control configuration is under SPRO > Cross-Application Components > Output Control, where you'll find steps like "Manage Application Object Type Activation," "Define Output Types," and "Assign Output Channels," often linked with BRF+ rules via transaction OPD for flexible determination of outputs like emails and print forms for business documents.
See the following for steps to setup for Channel = "CHANNEL" fo a new Business Partner VENDOR.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: Review of the new "Flexi Workflow" in S/4HANA.
.jpg)
Answer: SAP Flexible Workflow for Purchase Orders is a modern, Fiori-based system in SAP S/4HANA that simplifies creating rule-based, multi-step approval processes for purchase orders, replacing older methods with more flexible configuration, enhanced transparency, and user-friendly management through Fiori apps like "Manage Workflows for Purchase Orders" and "My Inbox". It allows defining conditions (like value, document type) to trigger automatic approvals or assign dynamic approvers (like managers) without complex coding, improving efficiency and control.
The following shows the summary setup of "Output Control" but the focus is on Setup and Processing of "Flexi Workflow" for 2 step scenario and link to App ID F2872 in Fori Library below.
See App ID F2872 (click to fiori library - Manage Workflows for Purchase Orders).
