| SAP | Legacy | SAP S/4 HANA | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2020 | 2022 |
In 2020, Robert Bosch GmbH deployed SAP S/4 HANA to provision a central ERP system for the carved-out Robert Bosch Aftermarket Solutions GmbH that became Gotion Germany Battery GmbH. The program established a cloud-based private edition architecture to host ERP Financial operations for the new company and to separate the carved entity from Bosch IT while enabling a standalone corporate ERP footprint.
The SAP S/4 HANA implementation focused on core financial management and centralized master data governance, and included activation and configuration of SAP Fiori apps, role design and responsibility matrices, and user ID provisioning workflows. A structured data migration plan used the SAP migration cockpit and data file transfer mechanisms, supported by expert guidance to align data conversion and master data templates with the new company chart of accounts and transactional requirements.
Bosch Global Software Technologies Pvt. Ltd. worked alongside SAP Enterprise Support services delivered as part of RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition, leveraging Real-Time Support features such as Expert Chat, Schedule an Expert, and Mission-Critical Support. The deployment was executed fully remote and emphasized tight collaboration between Bosch teams, the implementation partner, and SAP support to coordinate quarterly release management and issue resolution for the private cloud architecture.
Governance was reinforced through continuous quality checks for implementation, going-live support, and transformation assessments, together with enablement and learning from the SAP Enterprise Support Academy including meet-the-expert sessions and prescriptive learning. The project delivered a production SAP S/4 HANA environment for Gotion Germany Battery GmbH, with users adopting full functionality under global best practices and ongoing SAP Enterprise Support engagement to sustain operations.
