Clean Core Assessment

SAP Clean Core is an approach that promotes minimizing customizations and relying more on standard SAP functionality to maintain a simplified and standardized system.

By reducing custom code, businesses can make upgrades, migrations, and integrations easier and less costly. This strategy aligns with SAP’s vision of leveraging best practices, built-in features, and modern technologies like SAP S/4HANA and SAP Fiori. Clean Core ensures that the SAP environment remains flexible, future-proof, and aligned with ongoing SAP innovations. Ultimately, it enhances system stability, lowers maintenance efforts, and prepares organizations for seamless updates and transformations.

Sierra Digital makes Clean Core easy with the InFocus Readiness Assessment for Clean Core, an SAP-sponsored, gold-standard tool that aids and accelerates migration planning.

We recommend transitioning from the current state (As-Is) to the desired state (To-Be) at the object level when redesigning the object in the new S/4HANA system.
