Tiivistelmä
This comparative analysis explores the implementation of transportation networks within the transportation management module in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition. It uses the transportation networks in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Private Edition, as a reference point to identify the key differences between the deployments. Focusing on aspects relevant to SAP transportation management consultants, this analysis explores these differences and provides insights to help consultants prepare for transportation management implementations in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition.
The findings and conclusions of this analysis are based on relevant literature, insights and hands-on experience from three different SAP transportation management implementations, and access to both public cloud and private cloud sandbox environments for testing and demonstrating the topics covered.
Based on the comparative analysis, the transportation networks in both cloud-based deployment options share minimal similarities. This leads to the conclusion that they should be treated as independent, distinct functionalities unrelated beyond the shared naming conventions of the master data that forms the transportation network.
This distinction impacts the approach consultants should take when planning and implementing the solution, as well as how they navigate functional differences throughout the various phases of the implementation project.
