SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC)

SAP ECC 一 a unified solution that brings finance, supply chain, and operations under control.

Important! In 2027, SAP will end support for SAP Business Suite 7, including SAP ECC 6.0. Free support will be available until 2027, and paid support will continue until 2030. To stay within the SAP ecosystem after this period, you need to migrate to SAP S/4HANA 一 SAP's next-generation ERP suite. Improved productivity, real-time analytics, data and process simplification: this is what the suite brings to the table, allowing companies to operate more efficiently.

SAP ECC Modules

SAP ECC includes a range of modules which can be implemented in any combination:

Finance and Controlling (FICO)

These modules manage accounting, reporting, and cost monitoring to streamline financial data, provide real-time transaction tracking, and support informed decision-making.

Sales and Distribution (SD)

Handles order management, shipping, and invoicing, optimizing the sales process and improving customer satisfaction.

Materials Management (MM)

Oversees procurement, inventory, and supply chain management, helping businesses reduce costs and improve resource utilization.

Production Planning (PP)

Optimizes production schedules, capacity planning, and resource allocation for efficient manufacturing.

Quality Management (QM)

Ensures product quality with tools for inspection planning, quality control, and compliance tracking.

Plant Maintenance (PM)

Manages maintenance schedules, equipment tracking, and repair workflows to minimize downtime.

Human Capital Management (HCM)

Covers employee management to enhance workforce efficiency, including payroll, training, and recruitment.

Project System (PS)

Streamlines project planning, tracking, and execution to improve project outcomes and resource usage.

Customer Service (CS)

Supports after-sales services, warranty management and customer interaction processes, allowing you to build long-term relationships with your customers.

SAP ECC vs S/4HANA: Is the Migration Worth It?

Let’s take a closer look at some key differences between SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA:
Feature SAP ECC SAP S/4HANA
Deployment options On-premise only On-premise, cloud, or hybrid
Database Works on multiple databases (e.g., Oracle, DB2) Runs exclusively on SAP HANA for better performance
User experience Traditional SAP GUI Modern, intuitive Fiori interface
Data model Complex with multiple tables Simplified data model for faster processing
Analytics Basic reporting tools Real-time analytics with embedded tools
Integration Limited out-of-the-box integration Seamless integration with SAP cloud solutions
Customization Heavily customized systems often required Flexible and extensible, but less need for custom code
Process automation Manual workflows dominate Advanced automation with AI and ML capabilities

  • Determine the deployment model: S/4HANA on-premise, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment.
  • Choose the implementation approach: migrate from an existing SAP system to S/4HANA) or establish a new implementation (setting up S/4HANA from scratch).

EXPLORE
