In a 2021 survey, 55% of European companies stated the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the demand for digitalization, and 46% of companies reported that they have grown more digital. For more information, see the report here. This digital transformation provides the industry with unparalleled opportunities for value creation. For example, Last-Mile Deliveries has changed forever and is going to be one of the biggest challenges as new technologies must be introduced to save time, reduce operational costs, and enhance the customer experience.
In this blog, learning about how the new innovations shipped with SAP S/4HANA 2021 FPS01 can help here concerning the Consumers Products Industry.
The blog is built as a series of 2 parts and present the key highlights for:
In the following second part, I will go into details for selected innovations for industries that are new with the latest release SAP S/4HANA 2021 FPS01.
Last Mile Distribution supports the distribution of ordered goods directly to the final points of sale. Manufacturers and suppliers of different consumer goods industries can coordinate all phases of the distribution process centrally.
Last Mile Distribution enables manufacturers and suppliers of different consumer goods to coordinate the distribution of goods to the final point of sale (POS), such as retail stores or mom-and-pop stores: from route preparation to route execution through to route settlement. It represents an alternative approach to central retail deliveries for delivering goods to stores. Last Mile Distribution is most suitable for supporting the needs of consumer goods companies involved in the production of food and beverages, as well as the needs of tobacco and oil and gas companies.
Now with SAP S/4HANA 2021 FPS01, we bring innovations in four areas to support bank deposits for collected payments during route execution.
Capture and Settle Bank Deposits:
This feature enables settlement clerks to capture collected payments and bank deposits. During the settlement run, bank deposits are posted from driver clearing accounts to bank clearing accounts.
Additional Details:
To minimize the necessity of transporting large amounts of cash, during route execution, delivery drivers and van sellers deposit collected payments at banks. After each bank deposit stop, drivers can upload the bank deposit information from a mobile device or record the information on printed documents. Any remaining payments are handed over at check-in.
If an intermediate settlement is enabled, the settlement of individual stops takes place directly after the completion of the respective stops during route execution. If bank deposit documents have been uploaded with route data, they are mapped to freight order documents and updated in the back-end system.
Manage Bank Deposit Postings Through Configuration
With this feature, you can activate and/or deactivate bank deposit postings and define appropriate reconciliation accounts.
Additional Details:
During route execution, drivers can deposit collected payments at one or more banks to avoid carrying large sums of money.
Upload Bank Deposit Information
With this feature, bank deposit information can be recorded on mobile devices and uploaded during route execution or on completion of a route.
Additional Details:
The OData (V2) service Mobile Data for Last Mile Distribution (LMD_MA) is used to send information to mobile devices that are required for route execution and to return information about delivery and van sales route activities. Furthermore, this service is used to download configuration data that is required to record activities on mobile devices.
This API is available on the SAP API Business Hub (https://api.sap.com/Information published on the SAP site).
To minimize the necessity of transporting large amounts of cash, during route execution, delivery drivers and van sellers deposit collected payments at banks. It is now possible for delivery drivers and van sellers to record information related to bank deposits on a mobile device and to upload this information during route execution or on completion of a route.
If an intermediate settlement is enabled, the bank deposit stops can be settled before completion of a route, which speeds up revenue postings and reduces work peaks in the system.
Furthermore, this feature supports the download of deposit account references, which are configured in the back-end system and can be chosen by delivery drivers and van sellers when they record bank deposit information.
Manage Driver Accounts for Manual or Automatic Clearing of all Collected Payments
With this feature, during settlement, all collected payments that are posted contain a reference to the corresponding route or document, for example, a deposit slip. This information is used to support account clearing in SAP S/4HANA Finance.
Additional Details
When payments are posted to driver accounts, a reference number, such as a route ID or a bank deposit number, is added to the driver account. Customers can use this reference to clear payments in SAP S/4HANA Finance. Payments can be cleared both manually or automatically:
A delivery transfer is a movement of ordered goods from one vehicle to another vehicle during the execution of a delivery route because the first vehicle is not able to carry out the delivery. The delivery is added to the route of the second vehicle and removed from the initial route. The driver of the first vehicle might also deposit deliveries at a temporary storage location where another driver can later load the deliveries onto a second vehicle.
With the new SAP S/4HANA 2021 FPS01, we have now:
Truck-to-Truck Transfers
Drivers can transfer route stock and deliveries from one route to another route during route execution.
Delivery drivers can transfer deliveries between two routes to ensure the timely delivery of goods, for example, when vehicles are delayed (delivery transfers). Van sellers can transfer stock between two routes to ensure stock availability on van sales routes, for example, when there is a high demand for specific products (stock transfers).
The transfers are modeled as stops and can be recorded on the issuing and the receiving route under the stop type TRANSFER, or VISIT for delivery transfers in offline mode. Issuing and receiving documents must be created for the routes. Optionally, the issuing and receiving route ID can be specified in the issuing/receiving route stock transfer document.
Execution of Van Sales Routes
Van sellers sell products on van sales routes based on the information collected during route preparation. All activities related to the execution of a van sales route are recorded on mobile devices, and this information is used to settle routes.
Route stock management capabilities provide full visibility of stock during each step of a van sales route, from the completion of loading activities at a warehouse, stock transfer at check-out, customer visits, stock transfer at check-in, up to final route settlement.
This solution enables fashion retailers and vertical fashion companies to manage their business processes across one large data system landscape. It also enables the companies in the fashion industry to use the power of in-memory computing to analyze large data volumes for a fast and accurate overview of products. This results in greater efficiency, quicker time to market, and better inventory control.
With this new SAP Fiori app, you can view the details of planned orders at master, individual, and combined production order levels. In addition, you can use this app to create master-planned orders from individual planned orders and combined planned orders from master-planned orders.

Now with the new release, you can define consolidation rules to flexibly control whether the consolidated items are to be created in an existing purchase order or in a new purchase order.
For more information, see App Implementation: Configure Purchase Order Consolidation Rule.
You can enable the system to check whether the batch entered in the inbound delivery document already exists in the system. A batch split describes the situation where more than one batch is used to cover a particular delivery item. The batch split function in the delivery includes a batch selection screen and an availability check.
Now with this new release, you can Ignore Batch Split.
This means, during inbound delivery creation, you can enable the system to ignore the batch split for documents with segmented materials or articles of segmentation scope 1. This only applies to delivery documents with document category 7 (Delivery/Shipping Notification).
For more information, see Batch Determination for Inbound Deliveries.
