In this Think Tank, we will dis­cuss how SAP S/4HANA effi­cient­ly sup­ports whole­sale dis­tri­b­u­tion through­out the sales order process. With so many vari­ables, includ­ing avail­abil­i­ty, oth­er cus­tomer com­mit­ments, and P&L impact, orga­ni­za­tions are chal­lenged with mak­ing this process effi­cient. Spe­cial empha­sis will be placed on areas where ECC6 and SAP S/4HANA dif­fer. Atten­dees will have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to talk with SAP experts.
