Implementation Scope
Organization Scope
- 11 countries and regions (France, Poland, New Zealand, Russia, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Mexico, China, Hong Kong of China, Macao of China), over 100 legal entities
Implementation Modules
- Material Management (MM), Production Planning and Control (PP), Sales and Distribution (SD), Financial Accounting (FI), Cost Control (CO)
Project Challenges
- The enterprise is in a rapid stage of overseas expansion, with frequent adjustments to its business and organizational structure. The original management system lacks flexibility and is unable to respond quickly to the changing management requirements. Therefore, the SAP S/4HANA system was introduced to replace the ECC system.
- The digital vouchers for "research, production and sales" enable digital management for future enterprise expansion and meet the management requirements for rapidly replicating and expanding business globally.
- It needs to seamlessly connect with multiple peripheral systems, smoothly migrate data, and achieve full-chain process management from customers, suppliers and other upstream and downstream parties.
- Under the multi-division operation model, the original cost accounting and control system is relatively loose and cannot meet the requirements for multi-dimensional and detailed business accounting and performance assessment.
- It needs to handle different tax requirements worldwide and prevent risks of information disclosure and compliance with national laws and regulations.
Project Goal
- Achieve refined management: Promote the comprehensive integration of product information and business data, and connect the end-to-end information flow from sales orders to cost accounting. This provides a data foundation for achieving efficient management of global business operations.
- Build a global data foundation: Establish and standardize the unified standards for main data such as materials, customers, and suppliers on a global scale. By building an enterprise-level data sharing platform, ensure data consistency, integrity, and accuracy across countries and departments.
- Improve end-to-end operational efficiency: After the integration of product and business information flows, the enterprise applies management to optimize the traditional simple supply chain business process, expanding it to achieve end-to-end integration of design, planning, manufacturing, delivery, and operation, thus connecting the entire process from design to operation.
- Realize operational model innovation: The enterprise's integrated sales across channels, supply chain management, customer service, preventive maintenance, and innovative services, when embedded with the SAP system, form a highly visual operational platform that can meet demanding customers more quickly and more personalized.
