SAP S/4HANA PRODUCT COMPLIANCE
In industry, customer requirements are increasing and product life cycles are accelerating. The number and complexity of regulatory requirements are also increasing at the same time.
The new SAP S/4HANA Product Compliance solution enables digitization while complying with statutory provisions in business processes, from product development to executing supply chain processes.
These statutory requirements of potential target markets can be taken into account early on during product development, and ensured by means of checks. Or, when sales orders are entered, you can check whether a product can be marketed in a specific country or statutory validity area. Marketability tests can still be used to dynamically check dangerous goods regulations, chemicals legislation, safety data sheet requirements and various other regulations, and customer-specific specifications.
Compliance requirements from the supply chain processes are automatically determined via workflows. Extensive statutory data is available as content to support product conformity. Workflows and release steps support the maintenance of any missing data or the management of data changes. Powerful monitoring tools are available for monitoring compliance. Changes to products, target markets, laws, organization and supply chain processes are verified online. This considerably reduces the risk of non-compliance with the statutory provisions or loss of business, penalties, and a loss of image with external and internal stakeholders.

SI PRO CONSULTING SERVICE FOR SAP S/4HANA PRODUCT COMPLIANCE
New and Changed EHS Requirements
In the EHS division, new requirements are arising all the time as a result of changing legislation or business models and processes, which have to be implemented in companies with the use of IT solutions.
Digitization Options with SAP
We advise our customers on implementing existing and new requirements with IT solutions. In doing so, we derive alternatives, determine criteria for assessing the alternatives together with our customers, and evaluate reports.
SI PRO can usually also bring in best practice know-how gained from a number of feasibility studies and implementations.
SI PRO already has experience in projects for the new SAP S/4HANA Product Compliance solution.
Feasibility Study for Project Planning
We use our SAP demo and development systems in feasibility studies, project preparations, or proofs of concept to demonstrate how the requirements can be implemented. We also create activity plans with scoping and expense planning for an implementation project.
As an SAP EHS specialist, we advise on and implement your SAP EHS solution. Below are some sample project phases and activities in this context.
Project Management and Procedures
SI PRO supports classic procedural models and even agile methods such as scrum and kanban, depending on customer preferences. Classic project management tools or even tools such as Confluence and Jira can be used to support the documentation and communication processes in the project.
Analysis and Blueprint
To achieve a successful IT project, analyzing the current situation and precisely defining the target situation is extremely advantageous. To ensure this, SI PRO analyzes the current and/or target processes in workshops with the customer and optimizes these as necessary with a view to the functionalities to be implemented. This analysis results in an extensive blueprint with a functional and technical detailed design, which will form the basis for the following implementation for the customer project.
Implementation
The technical implementation takes place as part of the implementation, that is, the Customizing of the SAP standard software. Additional developments through to add-ons are designed and realized here as required. Other examples can be customer-specific reporting (using Adobe technology, for example) or customer-specific Fiori apps. Interfaces to other SAP systems or connections to non-SAP systems can also be achieved in this phase. The solutions that are implemented are functionally tested and documented.
Integration Test/User Acceptance Test
Once the settings and developments have been implemented in the system according to the blueprint’s specifications, the new functions have to be tested thoroughly before they can be transported into the production system. SI PRO can provide support with creating appropriate test scenarios as well as their implementation.
Training
The new functions can best be used efficiently and safely once the relevant users and other relevant people have been trained extensively in using them. SI PRO offers corresponding training in the system. There is also the option of creating training documents and web-based training.
Migration
Si PRO provides support with preparing for and refining source data and data migration. SAP standard tools or tried and tested SI PRO migration tools are used for this. SI PRO has know-how of various systems resulting from migration projects such as Atrion/Sphere, Celanese Tool, ChemGas or Siemens Interspec.
Go Live Preparation
Once testing has been successful and employees have been trained, the production system should go live as soon as possible afterwards to ensure that the knowledge gained can be applied directly and isn’t quickly forgotten. SI PRO provides support during the go live phase by means of technical checks, setting up jobs and performing a qualitative check for the completeness of the relevant master data at various levels (material, substance specifications, business partners, etc.).
We offer technical support and application support to our customers. We offer service level agreements with response times that depend on the priority and business impact. Below are some sample support offers.
- Telephone-based support/error analysis
- Ticket processing in the customer or SI PRO ticket system
- Support via VPN access
- On-site support
- Regular support meetings (on a weekly or monthly basis)
SI PRO works with the following roles to comply with the required service levels:
Dispatcher
The dispatcher monitors the support tickets and requests, and intervenes where necessary in distributing the tickets to the designated support staff. The dispatcher ensures that information is exchanged seamlessly with the customer’s organization, and operates as a single point of contact.
Supporters
The supporters analyze the tickets that are assigned to them according to the requested response times, and respond to the ticket that was created in accordance with the SLAs. The response can consist of a proposed solution (such as eliminating master data errors) or even a proposal for additional solution processing (such as ABAP coding or correcting Customizing).
