Beyond SU25: What REALLY Matters in the Upgrade of S/4 HANA On-Prem Security

Reading time: 1 min

Key Takeaways

⇨ SAP S/4HANA On-Prem retains fundamental ABAP-based security principles, including authorization object checks behind the scenes.

⇨ The upgrade to S/4HANA demands extensive cross-team collaboration, especially during simultaneous Fiori implementation.

⇨ Success in an S/4HANA upgrade hinges on maintaining security stability, upgrading GRC rulesets early, thorough testing, and proactive communication with business process teams.

This may sound shocking, but contrary to popular belief, SAP S/4 HANA On-Prem is actually not that  different, technically, from the traditional ABAP-based security. Even Fiori apps are rooted in the fundamental authorization object checks behind the scenes.

That is not to say that S/4 does not bring its fair share of changes- just not to the level of difficulty we’ve been led to expect. What does make this upgrade so different from previous ones is the extent of cross-team collaboration it requires to succeed. This is even more prevalent when Fiori implementation happens simultaneously.
