Is the "S4HANA Master Guide" hidden like an Easter Egg?

Dear Users,

I can find all other Master Guides but not the one for S4HANA. Who has an idea where SAP hid the S4HANA Master Guide? Or did they change the name of it? Should we use the one for Netweaver 7.5?

I'm grateful for every hint!

BR, Manuel

Hi Manuel,

Are you looking for something in specific for S4Hana like installation? .

Major portion of documentation related to S4 are available here and a good reference resource SAP Cook Book is here

Dear Paula & Virinchy

thanks for your posts! Because of your helpful answers I think there is no classical master guide which I was used to have. E.g. help.sap.com/erp -->  SAP ERP > SAP ERP 6.0 EHP8 > Master Guide

Under help.sap.com/s4hana > "SAP S/4HANA, on-premise *" it doesn't exist obviously

Have a nice day!

BR Manuel

Manuel,

I haven't seen a Master Guide for all SAP/4 implementations on this portal. My impression is that SAP/4 leverages HANA to remove older tables, streamline (or eliminate) older processes,add Fiori UIs, etc. SAP/4 is less of standalone product-line architecture per se (e.g. HANA itself), and more of an architectural change or re-engineering approach to existing application modules.  For a general understanding, this document is helpful as is the Cookbook @Virinchy mentioned in an earlier response.

For a more in-depth approach, the docs for S/4 Finance (Simple Finance) On-Premise Edition are a good example of the types of docs that I would consider to be the technical master guide for interpreting the types of architectural changes SAP/4 introduces.

SAP S/4HANA Finance, On-Premise Edition – SAP Help Portal Page

For the overall intent or strategy of the SAP/4 generation of product lines, here's Jens Krueger on SAP Simple Finance around the time of the product's initial release date.

Clinton Jones in this blog  mentions SAP LT, another consideration of the SAP/4 delivery.
