S/4 HANA 1610 –Key Innovation Highlights
1) MRP report, Production report etc not available in Traditional
system
2) CIF(Core Interface) used to transfer the data of BOM, Routing ,
Material master etc in APO system.
3) In S4 HANA 1610, CIF is obsolete, need to activate the APO, Work
center at Material Master level.
4) APO will run the MRP at Grainier level (Minute level
planning)Planned order, Production order etc.
5) PPDS (Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling) is one of
module of APO
6) In MD01, we will run the MRP at plant level, use scope of planning
for multiple plant, User exit used to exclude/include material of MRP
run.
Apps:
1) Manage Material coverage
2) Monitor Material Coverage
3) Monitor External requirement
4) Schedule MRP Run(MD01N)

Details…Material Number Length
Overview:
With SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1610, the maximum field length of the
material number is extended from 18 to 40 characters.
Although the maximum length of the database field used to store the material
number is now 40 Characters, the way how the material number content is stored
in the database field has not been changed compared to SAP Business Suite. This
means that for such fields usually no data conversion is needed when converting
from SAP Business Suite to SAP S/4HANA, on-premise edition 1610.
The default setting, both after the move to SAP S/4HANA and for new installations,
is that the extended material number functionality is NOT activated. To use a
material number with 40 characters, the customer needs to activate this
functionality
CAUTION
If the extended material number functionality is activated in a system, it cannot be
easily deactivated as values may exist in different fields that are only allowed with
extended material number.

Details…Production Version
Overview:
With SAP S/4 HANA, on-premise edition 1610, the functional relation between Bill
of Material (BOM), Routing and Production Version has changed.
The Customizing for date validity is no longer considered for BOM explosion.
Instead, only BOMs with valid production version are considered during BOM
explosion. Therefore, it is now mandatory for Manufacturing BOMs to maintain the
product version for correct BOM explosion.
IMPACT:
BOM will not be exploded in the MRP
Dependent Requirements will not be generated
No Production/Process Order could be created
DATA MIGRATION
Need to ensure that valid Production Version is available.
If Production Version is available, it has to be a part of data Migration activity.
If Production Version is not available, it should be created as part of Master
Data
In order to reduce the effort during a migration to SAP S/4 HANA, SAP has
developed report CS_BOM_PRODVER_MIGRATION, which automatically
creates production versions for all valid material BOMs in the system.

Details…Automatic Sourcing in PR
OVERVIEW:
With SAP S/4 HANA, on-premise edition 1610, MRP run is not populating Vendor in
the Purchase requisition if we have source list.
There is new field added to Material Info Record as “Automatic Sourcing” to get the
Vendor updated in Purchase Requisition created through MRP
As in normal case if we have source list available for a material, system used to
populate vendor in the Purchase requisition created through MRP
CAUTION
We need to select this Checkbox while creating Material Info Record without fail.
BENEFIT
Source List data is no more required. It will reduce the data migration and
maintenance efforts.
Details…Automatic Sourcing in PR
Required Master Data
To get the Vendor Populated in the Purchase requisition :
We need to mark the “Automatic Sourcing” field in the Material Info Record as
active in the Organization Data 1.
If we maintain a
purchasing info
record and we
select this
checkbox in the

One MRP Run
SAP ERP and SAP APO Materials
Details… MRP Live
Purpose:
The main function of material requirements planning is to guarantee material
availability , that is, it is used to procure or produce the requirement quantities on time
both for internal purposes and for sales and distribution. This process involves the
monitoring of stocks and, in particular, the automatic creation of procurement
proposals for purchasing and production .
Benefits:
Reduced Execution Time
Optimizing the service level
Minimizing costs and capital lockup
More up-to-date supply and demand information on which to base decisions.
Faster reaction to demand changes reduces the risk of stock-outs and means that
you can reduce safety stocks.
Match demand and supply more efficiently than was previously possible.
Identify and react to issues faster than was previously possible.
MRP
ERP Classic MRP MRP Live on HANA
MRP RUN – MD01.. MD02.. MD50 & MD03 Instead of several different transactions
(MD01, MD02, MD03...) there is only one
transactions, with more fields for selection,
which provides you more flexibility when
running MRP.
The new transaction code is MD01N
(PPH_MRP_START) and the report name is
PPH_MRP_DISPATCHER:
The internal logic to read the planning MRP live generally provides a more effective
elements from the database to the internal performance improvement than the classic
table is complex MRP. However, the improvement in
performance in MRP live on HANA compared
to classic MRP depends on the following:
MRP features used
Number of materials to be planned
Number of materials not to be planned
Number of low-level codes
Basically, the more materials are planned on
MD01N with MRP live, better is the
performance improvement.
Run the program PPH_CHECK_MRP_ON_HANA
MRP
ERP Classic MRP MRP Live on HANA
More support net change plan in the planning NETPL is a redundant one and the system can
horizon (NETPL). generate planned orders outside planning
horizon
Old planning file entry tables MDVM/MDVL and A new planning file (PPH_DBMV) replaced the
DBVM/DBVL old planning file entry tables MDVM/MDVL and
DBVM/DBVL to improve the performance in
reading planning file entries.
Creation of Purchase Requisition for ROH Only Creates Purchase Requisition for ROH,
Conversion of Planned order to Purchase
Requisition is eliminated.
Storage location based MRP run is no longer Planning on MRP area level is more efficient.
supported The system does not currently create
planning file entries on storage location level.
ECC had to plan all planned storage locations
and the plant level every time inventory was
changed in a separately planned storage
location. Customisation and re-design in
conjunction with efficiency improvements are
required to accommodate new rules.
MD01 Vs MD01N
ECC HANA Plan one material in one plant
Plan one material in several plants
Select several materials in one plant
Select several materials and several plants
Plan one material for one MRP controller in one
plant
Select all materials for which several MRP
controllers are responsible in several plants
BOM Components: To plan the
selected materials plus all their
components, you must select this
checkbox.
Stock Transfer: If you want to plan
the selected plants plus their
supplying plants, you must select
this checkbox.
MD01 Vs MD01N
Transaction MD01N was also designed considering the simplification concept .
Therefore, we will observe some changes when comparing it with
the classic MRP transactions:
The creation indicator for purchase requisitions and schedule lines does not exist in
Transaction MD01N. This means that MRP Live directly creates purchase requisitions for
materials procured externally or schedule lines when a schedule agreement is referenced
on the material source list.
The creation indicator for MRP lists is also not available in MRP Live, for performance
reasons. This means that MRP lists are not created by MRP Live. If it is necessary for you
to create MRP Lists, the material should be planned with the classic MRP transactions
(such as MD01). Otherwise, you can use the stock/requirements list to analyze the MRP
results.
The scope of planning is no longer necessary, since you can now select one or more plants
in Transaction MD01N. MRP Live can also automatically determine the sequence of plants
for planning, so the scope of planning becomes obsolete with MRP Live .
MD01 Vs MD01N
Processing key NETPL (Net Change in the Planning Horizon) is not available in Transaction
MD01N. This processing key was created to restrict the MRP run on the planning horizon for
a faster MRP run. Since the MRP performance is much better with MRP live, this processing
key and the planning horizon concept are obsolete.
The flag to determine if parallel processing should be used is not available in MRP Live;
parallel processing is automatically triggered by the system. It is also not necessary to
define the destinations for parallel processing in Transaction OMIQ, since they will be
determined automatically based on the server group.
The user exit key and user exit parameter fields are not available. In the classic MRP
transactions, user exits SAPLM61C_001 and EXIT_SAPMM61X_001 were used to allow the
user to select which materials would be planned by MRP, and the most common use was to
plan all of the materials of a specific MRP controller. In Transaction MD01N, the MRP
controller is already available as a selection criteria. If a different selection criteria is
necessary, it is possible to use the product group or the material multiple selection as a
selection criteria.

Types of FIORI Apps
Types of FIORI Apps
SAP FIORI has three app types, each distinguished by their focus and infrastructure
requirements:
Transactional apps
Fact sheets
Analytical apps
Transactional Apps
These apps let you perform transactional tasks, such as creating a leave request for an
employee. They represent simplified views and interaction with existing business
processes and solutions. They run best on an SAP HANA database, but can also be
ported to other databases with acceptable performance.
Types of FIORI Apps
Fact Sheets
From a fact sheet area (tile), you can drill down into its details. You can navigate from one fact
sheet to its related fact sheets. For example, you can navigate from a document to the related
business partner or to the master data.
From fact sheets, you can start transactions by navigating to transactional apps, or by accessing
the back-end system directly. For example, from a document fact sheet, you can access the back-
end system to display document details or to edit the document in SAP GUI or Web Dynpro.
Types of FIORI Apps
Analytical Apps
These apps let you get a role-based insight into real-time operations of your business by collecting
and displaying key figures directly in your browser. Analytical apps combine the data and
analytical power of SAP HANA with the integration and interface components of SAP Business
Suite. They provide real-time information on large volume data in a simplified front end for
enterprise control. With analytical apps, you can closely monitor your most important key
performance indicators (KPIs) in real time and react immediately on changes in market conditions
or operations.
To do this, you can easily use the pre-delivered KPIs and insight-to-action scenarios or define your
own ones based on the KPI modeling framework.
Analytical apps run on an SAP HANA database and use virtual data models (VDM).
