FAQs
SAP software is a global Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that helps businesses manage all core processes, such as finance, manufacturing, and supply chain, in an integrated way.
Humanica is an ERP implementation expert that provides comprehensive SAP S/4HANA Cloud ERP solutions. We combine the power of global standard SAP systems, appropriate ERP system setup, and a deep understanding of the Thai business context to deliver a ready-to-run and highly efficient system.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud is SAP’s newest cloud-based ERP solution, offering innovations (such as AI Agent, Fiori UX), automatic updates, and a more flexible subscription-based usage model. SAP ECC/On-premise is the older system that requires installing the ERP system on the organization’s own servers (On-premise), which may involve higher investment and maintenance resources. The Cloud focuses on speed and agility in business expansion.
We use the SAP Activate Methodology, a global standard ERP implementation process, emphasizing an Agile and Fit-to-Standard approach to reduce unnecessary system customization time and costs. Key steps include:
- Scope Analysis: Analyzing and confirming the project scope.
- Delta Requirements: Gathering requirements that deviate from standard Best Practices.
- Configuration: Setting up the ERP system to meet requirements.
- UAT (User Acceptance Testing): System testing by actual users.
- Go-live: Starting the live use of the system.
The SAP S/4HANA Cloud system implemented by Humanica fully supports Thai Localization and complies with Thai legal requirements, such as:
- Value Added Tax (VAT)
- Withholding Tax (WHT)
- Support for the e-Tax system
- Accounting reports and financial statements according to Thai Accounting Standards
- Customized forms and reports designed by Humanica for local transactions (e.g., Tax Invoice, Receipt).
The SAP S/4HANA Cloud system has open and flexible APIs, making it easy to connect the SAP system with external systems crucial for business, such as:
- POS (Point of Sale)
- RPA (Robotic Process Automation) and BOT
- Warehouse/3PL (Third-Party Logistics) and MES (Manufacturing Execution System)
- Banks (for automated payment transfers/receipts)
- Other legacy systems.
- Duration: ERP system implementation with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition and a Fit-to-Standard approach is often much faster than On-premise systems, generally starting at 4–6 months, depending on the scope and complexity of the business.
- Cost: Depends on the number of users (License), SAP S/4HANA Modules used, and the implementation scope. However, SAP Cloud ERP is a cost-effective cloud ERP solution that reduces CAPEX (Capital Expenditure) compared to older systems.
- The SAP system is designed to support Enterprise-Level organizations.
- It can manage both Multi-Entity (multiple companies domestically) and Multi-Country (multiple countries) within a single system.
- It has strong Consolidation and Localization functions, making it ready for international business expansion.
- SAP prioritizes Mission-Critical security.
- It has international security certifications and provides automatic software and security patch updates to ensure your system is always secure and up-to-date.
SAP S/4HANA Cloud can transform business processes in multiple dimensions as an integrated SAP Cloud ERP Business Suite:
- Finance: Manage cash flow, analyze profit and loss in real-time, reduce bad debt risk with AI.
- Manufacturing: Real-time Material Requirements Planning (MRP), quality control.
- Supply Chain: Supply chain overview, reduced transportation costs.
- Sales: Manage the Order-to-Cash process, create sales orders from unstructured documents using Machine Learning.
We offer comprehensive services to SAP Cloud ERP users to ensure continuous and efficient use of the system:
