Meet the Authors
Key Takeaways
⇨ The introduction of an entirely new data model for SAP S/4HANA has left role administrators needing to update their existing role concepts, including authorizations.
⇨ Analyzing and updating old roles is a time-intensive process – and with the SAP ECC migration deadline approaching, time is of the essence.
⇨ Xiting Authorizations Management Suite (XAMS) enables the project team to automate the migration of existing roles and authorizations to SAP S/4HANA.
The introduction of an entirely new data model for SAP S/4HANA has left role administrators needing to update their existing role concepts, including authorizations.
Analyzing and updating old roles is a time-intensive process – and with the SAP ECC migration deadline approaching, time is of the essence. SAP has documented many, but not all, of the required changes associated with both the new and obsolete transaction codes in an extensive document called the Simplification List.
But not to fear, solutions like Xiting Authorizations Management Suite (XAMS) enable the project team to automate the migration of existing roles and authorizations to SAP S/4HANA.
XAMS is a solution that is said to be able to expedite the migration of roles and authorizations to SAP S/4HANA by up to 75 percent compared to a manual approach. The solution is based on SAP Best Practice and has been validated by leading auditors.
By leveraging the latest Simplification List, plus any additional undocumented simplifications, XAMS enables the project team to automate the migration of existing roles and authorizations to SAP S/4HANA.
XAMS features five modules designed to support and facilitate a smooth transition to SAP S/4HANA for organizations.
With the Role Designer module, users can create sustainable authorization concepts, perform a ‘what-if analysis’, scan for SoD conflicts during the design phase and quickly migrate roles to SAP S/4HANA using a virtual role design cockpit.
Organizations can eliminate potential risks during the operational transfer of new SAP authorizations with the Protected Go-Live (PGL) in the Xiting Times module.
ABAP Alchemist identifies and optimizes existing authorization checks and corrects implementation errors in organizations’ developments.
XAMS also provides Role Profiler where users can optimize SU24, identify issues in existing roles and authorizations and prevent issues in new roles from entering the production landscape, and Role Builder where ner authorizations unnoticed in the production system with the Productive Test Simulation (PTS) are tested.
By leveraging solutions like XAMS, SAP users can ensure a seamless migration to the new SAP S/4HANA landscape, minimizing risks and maximizing efficiency throughout this pivotal phase.
