SAP S/4HANA Migration Compliance Pack – Readiness Analysis

Know which SAP authorizations will survive your S/4HANA move — before cutover risk appears.

The Readiness Analysis evaluates current SAP authorization structures against SAP S/4HANA migration requirements. It connects real transaction usage, Simplification List relevance and role impact so your team can identify risks and required authorization concept changes early.

For SAP Security, SAP GRC, Internal Audit and S/4HANA transformation teams.

Transaction readiness

See which used transactions remain valid, are replaced or are no longer available in the S/4HANA target environment.

Role impact clarity

Translate transaction changes into concrete implications for existing roles and authorization concepts.

Migration-fit rating

Evaluate whether current roles are migration-ready, need targeted adjustment or require structural redesign.

Executive-ready outputs

Deliver clear findings for sponsors, project leads and control owners — not just technical transaction lists.

S/4HANA migrations expose authorization risks too late when transaction usage is not mapped early.

Many migration programs focus on technical conversion and process redesign while SAP authorizations are reviewed late. The result: obsolete transactions inside roles, unclear replacement logic and last-minute remediation pressure before testing or go-live.

The product answer: a focused readiness analysis that links currently used transactions with SAP S/4HANA Simplification List status, role impact and concrete authorization concept adjustments.

Simplification List mapping

Used transactions are classified as still usable, replaced or obsolete in the S/4HANA target context.

Role-level impact view

Findings are traced back to affected roles so business and security teams know where migration work is required.

Migration readiness logic

Role structures are evaluated for transferability, required adaptation and redesign needs.

Adjustment roadmap

Necessary changes are translated into a structured backlog for the future S/4HANA authorization concept.

One readiness view. Four migration decisions.

Designed to help teams decide whether authorization elements can be kept, replaced, retired or redesigned before migration risk becomes a project blocker.

Three high-value migration scenarios.

Pre-migration authorization baseline

Create a reliable view of current transaction usage and authorization structures before migration design decisions are locked.

Role redesign planning

Identify affected roles early and define where the future S/4HANA authorization concept requires adjustment.

Audit and governance alignment

Prepare management, audit and project stakeholders with a structured summary of risks, implications and next steps.

From transaction usage to an actionable authorization roadmap.

A structured assessment flow that connects SAP Security, migration leads, process owners and governance stakeholders around the same authorization facts.
