Applium renews its 10Steps2S4 certification with S/4HANA 2022

3rd consecutive renewal for Applium’s teams, who have just obtained certification ” 10Steps2S4 ” from SAP on the latest version of S/4HANA, version2022.

What is 10Steps2S4 ?

10Steps2S4 is a technical conversion method for SAP ECC6 ERP systems to S/4HANA On Premise and Private Cloud Edition (RISE). This type of migration is also known as ” Brownfield “. Only SAP-certified partners are authorized to use this method of migration to S/4HANA.

How to obtain 10Steps2S4 certification 

SAP offers partners the opportunity to enroll in the certification program, according to a schedule set by the publisher. An initial introductory meeting is held to define the team needed to carry out the program. Once the team was in place and the schedule established, SAP provided an SAP ECC6 environment to be migrated.

The partner team, comprising a project manager, an SAP finance consultant, an SAP logistics consultant, an SAP Abap consultant and an SAP BC administrator, then had 10 days to carry out a migration from this ECC6 system to S/4HANA 2022 in 10 stages :

  1. Technical preparation and control of specific code
  2. Conflict control business function and ” add on “
  3. Functional preparation logistics and finance
  4. Technical conversion S/4HANA (SUM)
  5. Finance conversion
  6. Activities post conversion logistics and finance
  7. Adjustment of architecture
  8. Setting up the Gateway
  9. Configuration Fiori
  10. Review and feedback

At the end of these 10 steps, if the partner has performed all the gestures and successfully converted SAP S/4HANA 2022, it receives its certification. This demonstrates the partner’s ability to carry out all the conversion steps according to the defined method.
