SAP Simple Finance on top of ERP Foundation Extension Trial

Hello Folks,
has anyone tried to install SAP Simple Finance Add-On on top of the ERP 6.0 Ehp7 on Hana Trial Edition?
We need a Simple Finance Demo system and I'm currently finding the best way to get it.
Steps to do on the ERP 6.0 Ehp7 on Hana Trial system:
- Update Hana DB to SPS08
- Update Ehp7 to latest SPS07
- Install Simple Finance
Somebody tried one of these steps?
Best Regards

hi Patrick,
First of all, the SAP ERP Foundation Extension trial is there only for 30 days. In addition, you should not do any system landscape level updating/upgrading/adding add-ons, it is not compliant with Trial Terms and Conditions; on the other side, the trial license will not allow all these kind of development-like activities either.
Coming back to your question about the experience, my SAP ERP Foundation Extension RDS project is in the progress to update the trail with sFIN 2.0. What we have done:
1. completed data consistance check
2. finished fin application related preparation
Next week, we will update the system to SP7 and install the sFIN 2.0.  Going forward, we will deliver a sFIN 2.0 trial to replace the existing ERP Foundation Extension trial. Planned RTC is by end of June,2015.
Stay tuned with us!
feel free to contact me offline at: [email protected]

  • BW DataSource for Cash Management on SAP Simple Finance

    Hi All Experts,
    In our project, we have installed SAP Simple Finance 1.0 add-on for SAP Business Suite on HANA which introduced plenty of new functionality especially on Finance Accounting and Cash Management.
    The impact from Simple Finance is that, it seems existing standard data sources for Treasury - Cash Management don't work anymore, i.e. there is no transaction data. I believe it's because the change on source table inside SAP ERP.
    We also already activated local BI contents on SAP ERP side (i.e. embedded BW) which allows reporting directly on top of SAP ERP Query. All data models here are VirtualProvider based on function modules. And data is there!
    However, due to some limitation, we are not authorized to modify or customize those BW objects on SAP ERP. And meanwhile, we have got a requirement to extract Cash Management data from SAP ERP to dedicated SAP BW system (not direct reporting on SAP ERP). We encountered a problem that we cannot use the existing BI contents; and also cannot generate export data source from VirtualProvider in ERP to be used a source towards BW.
    Is there any workaround or resolution to extract data from SAP ERP (Simple Finance installed) to SAP BW? Any suggest is appreciated. Thank you.

    if i understood this right you are willing to use some HANA Live views?
    And you want to consume modified versions for these in the BW system?
    I can find several links describing how to do so ....

    Extending HANA Live Views
    But these urls describe the way to extend/enhance 'view like' views i think.
    How 'function module' views should be extended is something i have not seen/read before.
    If the functionmodules point to HANA Calculation VIews maybe ..?
    I reply to this thread to find out how this should be handled.

  • How different SAP Simple finance from SAP FI

    Hi SAP Experts,
    can you pls comment on my below doubt,
    Hi, Is SAP FI and SAP simple finance both are same.Can you pls help out the difference because i am planning to take up SAP FI training.If you think that SAP simple finance would be better than SAP FI based out of change in technology..I shall take SAP Simply finance.
    Also do let me know that is SAP simple finance can be used as extension to SAP FI.
    Many thanks for your suggestion inputs in shaping my career !
    Regards
    Bharath Kumar

    You need to dig into the data on help portal for Simple Finance or Smart Finance as it is called. HANA road map shows that HANA 2.0 (which is next version) will have entire Business Suite (ECC, SRM, CRM, APO etc., )  and BW will be sitting on single plat form of HANA.  What that means is less infrastructure for BASIS to support.  For functional consultants the world will change as below:
    1) As explained by Berker lots of totals tables will be replaced by SAP HANA views.
    2) SAP HANA modeling will allow you to create reports on the fly and access them through Analysis for Excel tool.
    3) All overnight batch jobs will be a thing of the past as SLT (System Landscape Transformation) will allow you to sync real time data from non sap systems.
    4) Smart Finance also got a feature called Central Journal which will bring the non sap data and transform it into FI document and post.  This will be a high value tool addition.
    5) Core functionality will remain same, however, consultants have to smart on shortening the month end close cycle, using the power of HANA system.  You may see that the companies can reduce their close cycles as close as 1 to 2 days, with HANA.
    Thanks

  • CAL - Connect to an instance of SAP ERP Foundation Extension powered by SAP HANA

    Hello,
    I created and activated an instance in CAL today, the ERP on HANA trial.
    Once this instance is activated ("green button"), the "connect" option appears but I'm not able to connect to it using http or SAP Gui.
    I have no firewall, the error is:
    This webpage is not available
    Could you help me?
    Thank you!

    hi Pierre,
    There could be multiple reasons for not being able to connect to the instance:
    1. After click create instance, you need to wait for 45 minutes. Also the green botton comes,in the backend it is still working to complete the creation.
    2. Once you have IP address, please try to connect to SAP GUI by manually add the server, instance number, etc into SAP GUI. See if it works. In addition, try to connect to BI launchpad via http:<IP address>:8080/BOE/BI.
    3. Some user reported connection problem, we found out that certain AWS account may have problem with VPC layout used for this solution. check out the support AWS account:
    • Click on EC2 Dashboard in left side navigation of the AWS Management Console • In upper right section of screen under Account Attributes section the Supported Platforms are listed http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-supported-platforms.html

  • Having problem with the SAP ERP on HANA trial

    Well, I left my SAP ERP Foundation Extension powered by SAP HANA - Fully Activated Appliance Landscape Trial suspended for about a week. When I re-activated the instance, I could connect to the SAP clients but not log in.
    I get the "Logon not possible (error in license check)" message.
    I also logged into my AWS console to look at the system log.
    The log ends with a number of entries like:
    This is R3trans version 6.24 (relesae 741 - 10.10.13 - 20:13:08 ).
    unicode enabled version
    2EETW169 no connect possible: "DBMS = HDB                                                  ---  SERVER = '' PORT = ''"
    R3trans finished (0012).
    Is there anyway to fix this? or do I just terminate and start over, again. (yes, this is the forth or fifth time I've had to rebuild).
    Thanks,
    Brian

    Hi Brian,
    there is a bug in the SAP Kernel which unfortunately invalidates the license after each reboot. We are already working on releasing a new version of the SAP ERP Foundation Extension Trial end of this week/early next week which will fix the error.
    Alternatively you might fetch the new kernel from the Service Marketplace (if you have access). You would need SAP Kernel 7.41 PL47 for Linux x86_64. After launching the instance in CAL before it turns "green" in the CAL UI you would need to exchange the binaries after logon via ssh.
    Quite complex to do, so the suggestion is to wait until end of this week/early next week until we are able to release a new version of the appliance incl. the fix.

  • How to install Simple Finance Apps for SAP Fiori?

    My system:
    1. ERP 6.0 EHP 7
    2. Netweaver Gateway installed
    3. HANA db on different machine
    What I have done:
    1. I installed the add-on that I got from SMP. The apps seem to be present on the server side.
    2. I added the necessary roles to my user so that I could use the apps in Fiori Launchpad.
    3. Logged on to Fiori Launchpad and I can see the apps there, however every Tile that appears has a text "Cannot load tile" on it.
    Looking at /IWFND/ERROR_LOG I see that the service gives "Resource Chip not found" error.
    Questions:
    1. How can I debug Fiori Launchpad related errors to find out why tiles don't load.
    2. Can somebody please provide an easy-to-follow step-by-step guide to install SFIN apps so that I could make sure that I did everything right.

    Hello Rauno,
    1. Open the Fiori Launchpad in Google Chrome using Chrome Developer Tools. Do you see any errors in Console or Network?
    2. The SAP Help Portal documentation, e.g. Installation Information for SAP Fiori for the SAP Simple Finance Add-On 1.0, encompasses several activities which may be relevant to the error: System profile configuration, service activation, authorizations, applicable SAP notes, and so forth.

  • Is there a (supported) way of migrating regular ERP IDES system to HANA for use of Simple Finance?

    We have installed a SAP ERP IDES system but we'd like to try out Simple Finance. We could do a fresh install of ERP but we like the demo data included in IDES system. Is there a simple SAP supported way of migrating our system (or data to be precise)?

    No.  In down sampling with iTunes a new file is created and added to the library.  Most of the old data are preserved but some such as date added are created when the track is added.
    Using a third party tool may achieve what you want because the new file could overwrite the old one.  I recall using a third party tool to edit a mp3 and overwrite the old file.  iTunes was tricked into thinking the replacement was still the original file, but of course the edits were in place.  I can't make a specific application recommendation for bulk conversion where it will overwrite the old file.
    I will regard this as a general iTunes question but in general if you are using beta software versions you should not be posting in the main iTunes forum.

  • SAP Fiori BW on HANA scenario / Simple Finance

    Hi All,
    I’m contacting you because we are in front of a completely new scenario. We have an important doubt regarding our landscape configuration, and the applications which can be deployed on it. At high level, our landscape has an SAP Business Suite using an Oracle DB, and an SAP BW system using SAP HANA.
    Our questions:
    1. We assume that is impossible to install any Fiori Apps which require the Simple Finance Add-On on the Business Suite (even if they are transactional)
    o From the official SAP documentation we understand that the can only run on HANA DB
    o Is it correct?
    2. Having in our environment SAP BW on HANA we assume we are on one of the Side-by-side scenarios (see image below, highlighted in red). So we are assuming most of the analytical applications will work fine, is this correct?
    o As far as we understood, it will be a matter of activation of XS HANA engine to make applications work
    Any comment or advice regarding these questions would be really appreciated.
    Thank you very much and best regards,
    Pau

    Dear Pau,
    I believe your understanding is correct.
    Simple Finance Apps runs only on HANA, but you can install Fiori (runs under AnyDB) transactional apps in your existing system. There are HCM,PP,SD,MM,PS,FI etc apps (transactional apps) which can be installed in your current system.
    With Side-car approach, if you have HANA XS, you can have analytical apps.
    You can refer the link https://fioriappslibrary.hana.ondemand.com/sap/fix/externalViewer/#/detailInfo
    This lists all the available apps the config, implementation requirements.
    Thanks

  • NewGL Rollup still relevant or enhanced with Simple Finance?

    Hi Gurus,
    I am studying the implementation of Simple Finance and wonder whether the NewGL rollups are still relevant?
    My requirement is to agregate, transform and control data before transfer to the consolidation plateform.
    Do you know if there is any enhanced or new solution that can fulfill this requirement?
    If I can use the same function, do you know if it has been developped on Hana DB and benefit from Hana capabilities?
    I try to find detailed help documentation about Simple Finance (custo & functional) but I am not sure to find the good one, could you help me finding it.
    Best regards
    Pascal

    Hi Pascal,
    here is the link to the documentation for the Simple Finance add-on 1.0: http://help.sap.com/sfin100
    For your requirement of aggregation and transformation prior to transfer into consolidation, we still recommend using the "classical" approaches of roll-up ledger, extraction to SAP Business Warehouse, or SAP Financial Information Management.

  • SFIN (simple Finance) and Smart Finance on HANA

    Hello SAP HANA friends
    I read this document about sFIN:
    http://www.saphana.com/docs/DOC-4263
    I have seen also documents about Smart Finance, are there any differences between sFIN and Smart Financials?
    Thanks
    Thomas

    Hi Thomas
    Simple Finance is a solution and is cloud based. Smart Financials is part of that package but there is much more included. As stated it means managed services in the cloud so it means paying on subscription base for services from SAP thus utlizing their HANA Enterprise Cloud - HANA Cloud Platform architecture / applications deployed on that.
    So sFin really means your customers goes "SAP Cloud". Smart Financials will then be part of that set of applications (systems) that are part of sFin.
    If we talk on-premise, we don't talk about Simple Finance, instead we talk about Financial add-on. Smart Financials is part of the Financial add-on.
    Best regards

  • What's the new addition to reporting with simple finance?

    Hi, 1. Embedded BI reporting(BI queries) 2. Net Weaver Based reports 3. H reports (like FBL*H) 4. HANA live reporting All the above reporting options are available with HANA, but what’s new with simple finance; please correct me if my understanding is not correct. I can only see SAP Fiori Dashboard apps which are new with simple finance. I hope somebody can clarify my doubt Rgds Murali

    Hallo Murali,
    given to the architecture
    you have various UX option as described below. We provide various new Operational Reporting Applications e.g. for Manager(KPI Reporting) or Controller(Interactive Drill Down). In addition we have embeeded now reporting in our applications where its useful.
    Of course the classical GUI reporting is still working as well. For FBL*H we have Fiori applications in addition. e.g. Customer, Vendor and Account Line Items or Financial Statement. You find more information about the available applications here.
