| SAP | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 | SAP S/4 HANA | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2017 | 2017 |
In 2017, Hozelock migrated from SAP ERP ECC 6.0 to SAP S/4 HANA for ERP Financial, initiating an implementation focused on manufacturing data consolidation and finance reporting. The project scope included mapping and loading manufacturing MFG data into a SQL database, metadata modeling in SAP Designer, and conversion processes executed in SAP Cockpit using staging tables to prepare transactional and master data for the SAP S/4 HANA environment.
The implementation delivered a multi-tier ETL fabric, with SAP S4/HANA Data Services orchestrating core extracts and transformations, complemented by SQL DTS packages and SSIS developments for batch and nearline loads. Metadata mapping in SAP Designer and the use of staging tables in SAP Cockpit were central to preserving data lineage and enabling repeatable conversion routines, while report development work leveraged SAP BW, Cognos Power Play, Cognos Transformer, and SSRS to rebuild operational and financial reporting layers on top of the new S/4 data model.
Integrations were explicit and operational, linking SAP S/4 HANA to the SQL database for manufacturing data persistence, and connecting reporting stacks to SAP BW and Cognos for analytic consumption. The implementation covered ERP Financial and manufacturing operations integration points and maintained support interoperability with MFG and Microsoft Dynamics AX components where ERP support was required, aligning transactional flows between production data sources and finance posting processes.
Governance and runbook activities emphasized ETL ownership and end user continuity, with Level 1 and Level 2 support and training provisioned for end users and support teams. Ongoing responsibilities included SAP S4/HANA Data Services maintenance, SQL and SSIS package lifecycle management, and ERP support for SAP S/4 HANA, MFG, and AX, with metadata-driven conversion and staging table patterns codified to standardize future data loads and supportability.
