There are many ben­e­fits from imple­ment­ing Mate­r­i­al Ledger, such as bet­ter accu­ra­cy of Cost Report­ing, more gran­u­lar­i­ty of Cost of Sales, abil­i­ty to view inven­to­ry in mul­ti­ple cur­ren­cies and val­u­a­tion views, and so on. This is one of the rea­sons SAP cus­tomers are using Mate­r­i­al Ledger and why it is now required in S/4HANA. Hav­ing said that, there are still a lot of com­pa­nies that are ner­vous about tran­si­tion­ing to Mate­r­i­al Ledger because of the poten­tial work­load of con­vert­ing the data from their cur­rent tables to the Mate­r­i­al Ledger tables. Attend with web­cast with Mate­r­i­al Ledger expert, and author of the book Intro­duc­ing the Mate­r­i­al Ledger in SAP S/4HANA” Paul Ovigele to learn the following:

  • How to pre­pare your sys­tem for a Mate­r­i­al Ledger conversion.
  • What ques­tions you need to ask when con­sid­er­ing which Mate­r­i­al Ledger func­tion­al­i­ty will be ben­e­fi­cial to your organization.
  • What cri­te­ria you can use to deter­mine whether to con­vert to Mate­r­i­al Ledger before or after an S/4HANA conversion.
  • Typ­i­cal mis­takes that occur with a Mate­r­i­al Ledger implementation.
