  ownership (TCO) with SAP HANA as the great
  simplifier.
• First, enterprises can now reduce their data
  footprint and work with larger data sets in one
  system (for example with industry or application
  function re-integrated that was standalone
  before), to save hardware costs, operational
  costs, time and reduce complexity.
• Second, innovation is also made simple with

  Platform) to drive advanced applications for

How does SAP S/4HANA relate to SAP S/4HANA
Finance (formerly known as SAP SimpleFinance
powered by SAP HANA

• The SAP S/4HANA Finance (originally branded SAP
  Simple Finance) solution marked the first step in
  our SAP S/4HANA road map for customers. The
  solution has demonstrated the value of
  simplification (for example, no indexes, no
  aggregates, and no redundancies) and instant
  insight in Finance.

  full scope of SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA
  included in SAP Simple Finance. The SAP S/4HANA,
  cloud edition is intended to deliver a
• similar scope.

23

• An interface for reposting CO postings This
  interface reposts CO postings where the CO
  document is the loading document. In contrast to
  the interface for FI/Co postings, these are
  postings that are not necessarily reflected in
  Financials in the source system (sometimes only
  for reconciliation purposes).
• For example, postings on secondary cost elements.
• An interface for replicating certain cost objects
  (such as production orders, internal orders, QM
  orders etc.).
• The posted documents are stored in the universal
  journal of the SAP Simple Finance System. It is
  possible to take advantage of new G/L features
  within SAP Simple Finance as well as the ability
  of flexible reporting based on line-items instead
  of pre-aggregated totals. Further more beautiful
  Fiori User Interfaces and reporting tools can be
  used in the Central Finance. Reporting with the
  speed of HANA is available on line-item levels.

24
System Landscape

• A dedicated Simple Finance system (suite on HANA,
  Simple Finance as its core) and SAP planning,
  consolidation and reporting capabilities
  (optional) connected to one or more ERP systems

Deployment

• A Central Finance can be established on-premise
  or in the cloud.
• In a cloud deployment scenario data is replicated
  using the same mechanisms used in on-premise
  installations (SLT). The respective SLT portions
  will have to be available on both, the sending
  (on-premise) and receiving system (cloud).
• Non-SAP reporting and analytics (as well as
  additional SAP Simple Finance or partner
  products) need to be connected to the cloud
  instance or be made available within the cloud
  installation as required.
• Special considerations in the cloud scenario
  include but are not limited to wide area network
  (WAN) throughput and firewall/security
  requirements.

  These entries do not represent standard business
  processes.
