With the existing technologies, you have to make a trade-off; either going for a Broad and Deep Analysis or Speedy and Simple reporting. Which statements are correct? Trade-Off - Broad and Deep or Speedy and Simple, is not possible. You can decide to go deep and broad with your business warehouse systems or have high speed but simple reports from your data. In both scenarios, real time updates are difficult, almost impossible to design. In a data warehouse environment updates occur overnight with nightly batch jobs.
In the last few years there have been significant advances in technology that application developers are able to take advantage of in order to build smarter and more powerful applications. Choose correct ones: Multi-core processors enable parallelism of tasks - this means more throughput of data and faster processing to give us real-time responses. Large memory - enables us to fit an entire organization's database in memory - this means that we lose the mechanical spinning disk and the latency it brings. Advances in the design of on-board cache means that data can not pass between memory and
CPU cores rapidly. We can now easily slot in more servers into our landscape to add more processing power or memory in order to scale to any size.
The database, which supports S/4HANA (SAP HANA) can handle both OLTP and OLAP processing from a single data model and therefore:. We do not need to move transactional data to a separate system. Transactional and analytical applications run off the same tables and therefore data is available in real-time at every level of detail.
The traditional data model is complex and a complex data model causes the application code to be complex. It has been found that up to 70% of application code is built specifically for performance of an application and adds no value to the core business function. With a complex data model and complex code, integration with other applications and also enhancements are difficult, and simply not agile. Correct Incorrect.
SAP HANA can aggregate on the fly in sub seconds from any line item table. SAP HANA does not need pre-built aggregates. SAP HANA can generate any view of the data at runtime, all from the same source tables. Right Wrong.
SAP HANA organizes data using a column stores, which means indexes are usually not needed - they can still be created but usually offer minor improvement. Right Wrong.
SAP S/4HANA is built natively and optimally to run only on SAP HANA, and so inherits all the capabilities of this powerful in-memory data management and application platform. This includes: Advanced text mining. Predictive analysis. Simulations, and powerful real time decision support. Access to any type of data in real time.
The data model has been simplified in S4 HANA. This means unnecessary tables have been removed, and of course the data in those tables, in order to shrink the footprint dramatically and simplify the application design and extensibility. correct incorrect.
Traditionally, the SAP financial applications are separated into different modules and sub-modules. Each module has its own data model architecture and this brings with it inefficiencies. The development of S/4HANA provided the opportunity for a complete redesign of these data models, to remove inefficiencies. Right Wrong.
In S4 HANA, an instant insight-to-action is based on real-time information. There is a single source of truth, on the most granular level the document line item. There is no searching and second guessing the source of data. Correct Incorrect.
SAP S4 HANA Accounting Architecture Rational: A true single source of truth for all accounting components. Reconciliation is a topic of the past bringing large cost and time savings. A simple but holistic data model. SAP HANA can provide unprecedented insight in both speed and content. The universal journal combines and harmonizes the good qualities of all accounting components. Non-disruptive innovation and simplification, the least possible disruption, safeguarding customer investments and processes.
Challenges of the Architecture before S4 HANA Finance by having Multiple Sources of Truth include the following: The combined content of several tables represents "the truth". Reconciliation efforts are needed by architecture. Different level of detail stored in the respective components or tables Components are structured differently (for example, fields and entities differ) Must move data to the appropriate table for reporting (for example, settlement) Different capabilities in the components (customer fields, currencies, multi-GAAP, and so on) Single Bl extractor required to cover the complete truth in Bl.
The Universal Journal is now the single source of truth. Each posting creates line items in the universal journal table that combines all data entered in the different financial components into one single structure. Correct Incorrect.
Benefits of the new S4 HANA architecture include: One line item table with full detail for all components. Data stored only once, so no reconciliation needed by architecture. Fast multi-dimensional reporting on the Universal Journal possible without replicating data to Bl. If Bl is in place, one single Bl extractor is needed. Reduction of memory footprint through elimination of redundancy. Technical preparation done to enhance important structural capabilities of the Financials solution (for example, multi-GAAP, additional currencies).
A great effort has been made to safeguard the customer investments that were made in custom code. Existing programs and interfaces can still be used through generated compatibility views: Read access from custom ABAP programs or reports to prior tables work as before. Read access is automatically redirected to the universal journal as the new single source of truth. Remove all write accesses for the tables that have been replaced by views. All the classic index tables, aggregate or totals tables have been replaced by compatibility views that use data direct from the universal journal and that were generated on the fly.
Can Universal Journal be extended with customer fields? Yes No.
There are rare cases, where entries in ACDOCA are written without a respective document header (for example, carry forward, corrections in migration). These entries do represent standard business processes. Right Wrong.
The new SAP HANA-based reporting of all components (G/L, AA, ML, CO) can access the customer fields. Right Wrong.
There are five pillars to the SAP Fiori User experiences paradigm: Task-based Responsive Complex Coherent Instant value Role-based Simple.
In SAP Fiori launchpad designer, you can do the following: Configure tiles for static app launchers, dynamic app launchers, and to configure the target mapping. Create preconfigured groups and catalogs for the launchpad home page, for assigning to users. No transport configurations, correction request packages, or the customizing workbench.
New SAP customers starting with SAP S/4HANA can use which migration tools to take over their legacy data? Classic migration tools Simple Finance migration tools.
The migration can be executed at any --------------- end and is supported by a migration guide and monitor. period year.
New G/L (or other) Migration Service is required to migrate to SAP Accounting powered by SAP HANA. Correct Incorrect.
Migration from a Classic G/L setup to Accounting on SAP HANA does not support the following scenarios: Implementation of Document Splitting Balance Sheets at the Profit Center Level Migration from Special Purpose Ledger to New General Ledger Accounting New Implementation of Parallel Accounting New Implementation of Segment Reporting Implementation of the Ledger Approach for Parallel Accounting Change in Chart of Accounts and Conversion of Chart of Accounts Inclusion of Customer Fields Transfer of Quantities to New General Ledger Accounting.
SAP S/4HANA can run on a SAP HANA database only. True False.
Which of the following is a prerequisite for migrating to SAP S/4HANA Finance? SAP ERP must be on the SAP HANA database. New G/L Accounting must be active. The year-end activities must be completed. The SAP migration service must be used.
What are the business benefits of SAP S/4HANA Finance ? Reduced system complexity. Single source of truth on the line item level. Automatic update of custom applications to SAP HANA standards. Overall reporting across Financial applications.
Which tables are replaced by compatibility views? BSIS — Index for GL Account. FAGLFLEXT-New GL Account totals. BSEG — Line Item. ANLC — Fixed Assets totals.
What is the character length of the field for line item numbering in the Universal Journal table ACDOCA? 3 6 10.
The new journal entry consists of a header (table -------1-------) and the respective line items (table -------2--------). 1-BKPF 2-ACDOCA 1-ACDOCA 2-BKPF.
There is ----A----- digit field for line item numbering and -----B----- digits for currency fields. A- 6 B- 23 A- 23 B- 6.
