Think Tanks connect you with peers navigating the same challenges and opportunities as you. ASUG will facilitate an interactive peer-to-peer exchange where solutions are shared for topics specific to your role and interest.
In this Think Tank, we will discuss how SAP S/4HANA efficiently supports wholesale distribution throughout the sales order process. With so many variables, including availability, other customer commitments, and P&L impact, organizations are challenged with making this process efficient. Special emphasis will be placed on areas where ECC6 and SAP S/4HANA differ. Attendees will have the opportunity to talk with SAP experts.
The format for Thursday, Aug. 27 at 2 p.m. CT will include:
Brief welcome and kickoff from ASUG
Rapid case study led by ASUG member Susanne Adam from SAP
Sharing of recent wins or successes, along with resources utilized
Gain visibility into the challenges and successes other SAP customers are experiencing, and acquire new ideas for real-world solutions.
