If you are accessing a system that was installed from download/Blu-Ray discs on your own premises, you can only access
it via locally installed browser / SAP GUI. See the latest version of the First Steps guide that is attached to SAP Note
2396478, (http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/2396478).
In the following steps, we assume that you logon to the SAP S/4HANA system with users & passwords that have been pre-defined
by SAP. If a system administrator or other power user provided the system to you, the credentials and system roles might be
different.
The main user interface of SAP S/4HANA is the SAP Fiori Launchpad (also used throughout this demo) but access via SAP Logon /
SAP GUI is also possible. Depending on your personal settings (e.g. SAP GUI visualization settings, browser settings), your system
might look slightly different as shown in this guide.

2.2 Demo Story 1 - Order to Cash
Background information:
This scenario describes the standard Sales and Distribution (SD) document flow and is integrated with the following business
functions:
Credit Management
Advanced ATP (aATP)
SD Settlement Management
Output Management for S4HANA
In order to highlight some of the main capabilities of these business functions, this demo story uses five different business
partners and three different stock materials. Everything has a well-defined purpose and for this reason, the recommendation
would be to go step by step through the process in order to make sure that all mentioned functionalities can be fully
tested/explored.
The process starts by making sure that the required stock is available, then six different sales orders are created out of which one
has a credit block. Once the credit block issue is solved, a Backorder Processing is executed and the results are afterwards
manually adjusted in the Release for Delivery app. Since the stock will not be enough for all the open orders, only five out of six
orders will be partially or completely delivered to the customers. Then, the picking and goods issue are executed followed by the
billing process, using the specified billing date in order to make the SD settlement possible. Once the settlement accounting
documents are successfully created, a payment is posted and finally the overview analytics are checked.

2.7 Demo Story 6 – Investment
This scenario demonstrates an end-to-end process flow from creation, planning, capitalization and reporting of an investment
project, which is an asset under construction. Assets under Construction (AuC) are a special form of tangible assets. They are
usually displayed as a separate balance sheet item, requiring separate account determination and their own asset classes. During
the construction phase of an asset, all actual postings are assigned to the AuC. Once the asset is completed, a transfer is made to
the final fixed asset.
Investment orders are used to capture the costs of AuC during the construction phase. Once the AuC is completed, the final asset
is created in the appropriate asset class, and the investment order is set to complete. The next settlement transfers the AuC asset
value to the completed asset.

2.9 Demo Story 8 - SAP Screen Personas
The purpose of this section is to describe the best practices for general configuration steps required to create a flavor in SAP
Screen Personas 3.0.
The goal of SAP Screen Personas is to reduce complexity of the transaction by reducing the number of screen elements, the
number of mouse clicks, make the screen more ergonomic, personalizing the screen with relation to the user and the company
branding. Standard documentation for development activities for SAP Screen Personas is available in the SAP Help Portal.
Before you start developing a flavor there are a number of preliminary steps that you should progress through to determine user
requirements and design a user interface that meets these requirements:
Get familiar with the application or transaction, referencing for example, a SAP Best Practices process flow as a basis.
Consult with a business user of the transaction or application, and determine their requirements.
Consult with a UI/UIX Designer to make design decisions for the flavor.
Determination of needed/required screen elements for processing like:
- Buttons
- Input/output fields
- Descriptions
- Data fields
- Tables
- Tabs
- Others
Determination of unused, not needed and disabled screen elements
Grouping screen element to be displayed by theme or functionality
Get familiar with UI design guidelines and company branding rules
Once you have gone through these preparatory steps, you can start developing the flavor using SAP Screen Personas.
Procedure
1. Logon to the S/4HANA 1610 Trial system, client 100, using SAP GUI (see 2.1.2 for more details):
User: S4H_PERS
Password: Welcome1
Select “URL – Personas” and start the SAP Screen Personas. You will have to logon again. (Use Google Chrome as Browser).
149
2. You can create a favor for any SAP Transaction code such as VA01 – Create Sales Order. Enter VA01 into the command field
and press Enter.
3. Choose SAP Screen Personas button to open the Flavor Manager (see note below).
Note: The SAP Screen Personas button is visible after rolling over the blue header line at the top of the screen. The button will
appear in the center at the top of the browser window. It is displayed as an icon with the SAP Screen Personas logo:
This icon has the tooltip SAP Screen Personas.
150
5. In the Create New Flavor dialog box, enter the name and description for your flavor.
6. Choose Create.
7. The new flavor opens in edit mode.
151
8. Double click on the ‘Order Type’ entry field and you will get a pop-up screen. Enter ‘OR’ in the Data field and press Done. This
will give the entry filed a default value of ‘OR’.
9. Select a screen element of the GUI, all possible actions or changeable attributes are enabled in Screen Personas menu bar. For
example you can do the following for the selected element:
o Hide items
o Drag and drop an item to a different screen area
o Add custom text to a button by double clicking into to the button and enter the new button text.
o Resize the screen element by stretching the frame or entering values into the positioning field of the menu bar
o Change Font attributes for labels and fields
10. Select the Insert tab to insert additional screen elements to the flavor, for example:
o Labels
o Group Boxes
o Images
o Buttons
o Boxes
o Fields
Note: You can use a Group Box to optically arrange screen elements. In order to do this, create a Group Box and place the screen
elements into this Group Box.
11. Switch back to the Home tab for further editing of the added screen element
12. Select the Tables tab to edit a table on the screen. The possible actions on table columns are:
o Hiding
o Moving
o Changing header text
13. Select Release tab for administrational activities, such as
o Changing the flavor name
o Changing the flavor description
o Displaying the history
o Creating a new version of the flavor
14. To save the flavor, choose Save Changes or Exit.
Note: The Save options are visible at the top right of the browser window of the flavor editor. The options are placed adjacent to
each other as two icons:
152
The option Save Changes keeps the flavor editor open and you can continue with further editing activities; the option Exit closes the
flavor editor and returns to execution mode.
Recommendation: Due to time-out issues with the browser session, SAP recommends adopting a “Save early and save often”
approach: you save the flavor regularly during your editing activities. Do not wait until you have completely edited the flavor before
saving the flavor.
Recommendation
The SAP GUI screen elements that should not be displayed can be set invisible using the hide functionality. You can do this in edit
mode in the Home tab using the Hide command.
If Screen elements are created via SAP Screen Personas functionality on Insert tab and should no longer be visible this elements
should be deleted. You can do this in edit mode in the Insert tab using the Delete Objects command.
Use
Once you have created a flavor, this flavor is available for you to edit and execute. In order to allow other users to either edit or
execute the flavor, you must share the flavor with the user or assign the flavor to a role to which the user is assigned.
Recommendation: In order to allow another user to edit a flavor, it is recommended that you share the flavor directly with the user.
Procedure
1. Logon to the system using SAP Logon.
2. Access the transaction using the following navigation path:
3. Enter your search criteria for the required flavors in the options in the SAP Screen Personas Flavor Maintenance screen; for
example, in the selection field Flavor Name enter <flavor name>.
4. Choose Search.
5. In the SAP Screen Personas Resource Maintenance – Display “<flavor name>” screen, choose Change.
6. In the Sharing/Assignment section, choose Insert Row. This is the icon positioned directly above the column User.
7. Enter <User> in User.
8. Select Assign.
9. Choose Save.
Results
You have shared the flavor with another user. The user can execute the flavor, and if they have the authorization to edit flavors, can
also edit the flavor.
Use
Once you have created a flavor, this flavor is available for you to edit and execute. In order to allow other users to either edit or
execute the flavor, you must share the flavor with the user or assign the flavor to a role to which the user is assigned.
Recommendation: In order to allow another user to execute a flavor, it is recommended that you assign the flavor to a role to which
the user is assigned.
Pre-requisite
The role must already be added for SAP Screen Personas.
153
Note: Management of the roles is an administration task. For further information on this, refer to section Authorization and Roles in
the configuration guide Administration Guide for SAP Screen Personas (building block UPG).
Procedure
1. Logon to the system using SAP Logon.
2. Access the transaction using the following navigation path:
3. Enter your search criteria for the required flavors in the options in the SAP Screen Personas Flavor Maintenance screen; for
example, in the selection field Flavor Name enter <flavor name>.
4. Choose Search.
5. In the SAP Screen Personas Resource Maintenance – Display “<flavor name>” screen, choose Change.
6. In the Sharing/Assignment section, choose Insert Row. This is the icon positioned directly above the column Role.
7. Enter <Role> in Role.
8. Select Assign.
9. Choose Save.
Results
You have assigned the flavor to a role. Users who are assigned to this role can execute the flavor, and if they have the authorization
to edit flavors, can also edit the flavor.
Sometimes it may be necessary to make a copy of a flavor because you want to try something or you want to have a setup point or
fall back when developing the flavor further on.
Enter your search criteria for the required flavors in the options in the SAP Screen Personas Flavor Maintenance
screen; for example, in the selection field Flavor Name enter <flavor name>.
Choose Search.
In the SAP Screen Personas Resource Maintenance – Display “<flavor name>” screen, choose Copy.
Confirm the flavor creation (copy action).
A new flavor with “<flavor name> (COPY)” is created.
Afterwards you can change the flavor name.
We recommend using the second option, to ensure that a consistent copy/version of the flavor is created.
154
2.9.6 Changing a Flavor
Procedure
1. Logon to the development system using a web browser.
2. Start the transaction for which you want to change a flavor.

executed.
Note: The flavor has not been deleted in the backend system. Instead, a deletion flag has been set for the flavor and this action can
be reversed. In order to irretrievably remove the flavor the backend system, the system administrator must complete the activity to
permanently delete the flavor. For further guidance on this, refer to Permanently Delete Flavors, Resources, or Themes in the
configuration guide Administration Guide for SAP Screen Personas (building block UPG).
Use
A resource refers to an object that is uploaded to the Mime repository of the system for use in SAP Screen Personas, for example,

2.10 Demo Story 9 – SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform
This scenario demonstrates how to access pre-configured business intelligence reports that are populated with data from an SAP
S/HANA 1610 system.
If you are running this scenario on your own hardware (i.e. you received the appliance via download or Blu-Ray):
There is no BI landscape contained in the local shipment so you need to import the BI reports (lcmbiar file) into a BI platform
provided by you and make the connection into your locally installed SAP S/4HANA system.
Please see the ‘SAP Best Practices for analytics with SAP S/4HANA’ package on https://rapid.sap.com/bp/#/BP_S4H_ANA
(scope item Integration between SAP S/4HANA and SAP BI) how to obtain the reports and configure your BI system.
Note:
Not all of the reports will display (sensible) data, namely in Cost Center Plan/Actual and Profit Center Plan/Actual, you might
receive a ‘No data available’ message.
