In 2021, Element Solutions implemented SAP S/4 HANA as its ERP Financial platform. The S/4 HANA deployment replaced SAP ERP ECC 6.0 and aimed to centralize core financial control across the company’s oil, gas and chemicals operations for a 5,300 employee organization.
The SAP S/4 HANA implementation focused on Finance modules typical of the ERP Financial category, including General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Asset Accounting, Cash Management, Financial Close and Controlling. Configuration emphasized the SAP S/4 HANA universal journal and real time accounting capabilities on the HANA database to support streamlined record to report workflows and continuous accounting.

SAP S/4 HANA was integrated into transactional landscapes supporting procure to pay and order to cash flows, and aligned with inventory and plant operations systems to ensure consistent financial posting across operational units.
Governance and operating model changes accompanied the rollout, with centralized finance process governance, role based security and period close orchestration instituted under SAP Americas leadership. Training, change management and standardized finance workflows were applied regionally to support adoption of SAP S/4 HANA as the company’s primary ERP Financial system.

In 2015 Element Solutions implemented Emburse Chrome River Travel as its corporate Travel Management application. The deployment established a centralized travel and expense management layer to streamline employee expense reporting and to provide a single system of record for T&E across the enterprise.
The implementation included building multiple bidirectional interfaces between Emburse Chrome River Travel and SAP systems, explicitly designed to send expense data from Chrome River to SAP and to relay approval and posting status back to Chrome River. Integration scope included connections to three distinct SAP instances, with technical work focused on mapping expense report records to SAP journal entries and accounts payable workflows, and on automating approval and posting handoffs consistent with Travel Management operational patterns.
Operational coverage extended to global finance teams, with rollout phases targeting EMEA and APAC regions in addition to existing Americas usage. Support and governance were managed through centralized finance and IT change control, with ongoing configuration changes, custom report development, and targeted enhancements to address complex reconciliation and reporting needs across the SAP landscapes.
