Summary

In this webinar, we have Christine Hofmann, Solution Expert of SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, offering a well-rounded review of the 2023 release of S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition in Sales. Let's have a look at how sales is evolving, interesting things about solution quotations and SAP's billing and revenue management, and how a customer can have a say in SAP's development plans. 

We first explore updates in sales, focusing on role-based access for pricing elements, improved product returns, Fiori apps updates, and the use of spreadsheets for contract uploads. We also discuss changes in available-to-promise (ATP) results and upcoming platform extensions. Then, we look at solution quotations with a new multi-level configuration. In the SAP Billing and Revenue Innovation Management section, we discuss advancements in Subscription Order Management, Contract Accounting, and Convergent Invoicing. Finally, we glimpse SAP's roadmap and see how we can influence the future of the products. 

Key features and enhancements 

  1. Role-Based Access Controls: Introducing accurate access controls to price and cost details in sales and billing documents. This feature safeguards the business from information misuse, delivering relevant data access to authorized staff, and preventing unnecessary access. 

  2. Flexible Customer Return Procedures: With the 2023 release, we can use a return product while the valuation process is pending, enhancing the user experience and ensuring a smooth and easy return process. 

  3. Sales Contract Creation via Spreadsheet: Simplifying sales contract management, the 2023 release enables creation of sales contracts through spreadsheet uploads, saving time and manual entry efforts. 

  4. Advanced Configuration in Solution Quotations: The update brings a new feature that lets us set up solution quotations for subscription products with multi-level advanced variant configuration. Many innovations also let us see info about price groups, subscription billing, plan cycles, and Work Breakdown Structure elements (WBS elements) right in our solution quotations. 

  5. Refined ATP Analysis in Sales Order: With this 2023 release, we enable the analysis and adoption of confirmed delivery dates and quantities on the Availability-To-Promise (ATP) results screen for sales-order items in the SAP Fiori app. 

  6. Expansion of BRIM: There are new features in subscription order management like adding project breakdown elements, setting payment deadlines, adjusting refunds, and support for multiple configurations. Upgrades in contract accounting and convergent invoicing include longer contract periods, linking payment functions, a more adaptable approval flow, and more flexibility for billing plans.
     
  7. Future Roadmap: The SAP Roadmap provides a comprehensive view of the planned enhancements and features for future releases, painting a vivid picture of where SAP aims to take its products.
