Key questions

What retail leaders ask us about SAP

  • What happens to IS-Retail when we move to S/4HANA?

    Retail functions are built into S/4HANA, so IS-Retail customers convert to S/4HANA with its retail capabilities switched on, keeping merchandise management, assortments and replenishment. Some older functions are replaced along the way. Phase 0 maps your retail processes and custom code, so you know what carries over and what changes before the project is scoped.

    About Phase 0

  • How do we migrate without risking peak season?

    Plan the cutover for your quietest months, well clear of back-to-school and the holidays. TSP runs rehearsed mock conversions, tests with real store, ecommerce and supplier data, and freezes risky changes ahead of peak. Larger retailers can move in stages, by company or region, where a selective approach fits.

    How a TSP migration runs

  • Can S/4HANA keep up with store and ecommerce volumes?

    Yes. S/4HANA’s in-memory database handles high transaction volumes, and point-of-sale data usually arrives through SAP Customer Activity Repository or your integration platform. The real work is in the interfaces: TSP lists every connection to stores, ecommerce and marketplaces in Phase 0 and retests each one during migration.

  • Where does AI help retailers today?

    Behind the shelves. Agents onboard new suppliers, read invoices in any format and match them to orders and receipts, reconcile vendor statements and GR/IR accounts at month-end, and keep the article master free of duplicates. Each one works within limits you set, with your team approving the exceptions. A pilot goes live in 6 to 8 weeks.

    Agentic automation

  • Do we have to move off SAP ECC by 2027?

    SAP’s mainstream maintenance for ECC ends at the end of 2027, and extended maintenance to 2030 costs extra. A retail migration has to land outside peak season, which leaves only a few windows each year, so decisions made now decide which window your cutover can use. Phase 0 gives you a timeline that fits.

FAQ

Questions about Retail

Straight answers to what SAP leaders ask us most.

Talk to an SAP expert

Is RISE with SAP or SAP GROW the better fit for a retailer?

Most retailers with merchandise management, large assortments and store replenishment need RISE with SAP and S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition. SAP GROW can suit smaller or specialty retailers with simpler processes. Phase 0 tests both against your business. See RISE with SAP and SAP GROW.

We’re not on SAP today. Can we move straight to S/4HANA?

Yes. Retailers outgrowing their current system can implement S/4HANA directly, starting from SAP’s standard processes and adding only what makes your business different. See SAP S/4HANA implementation.

Can testing keep up with our pricing and store changes?

Yes. Automated regression tests cover pricing, promotions, store and ecommerce flows, and run before every SAP update, so a change can’t quietly break checkout or replenishment. See SAP test automation.
