In 2020, Samsung SDI implemented SAP S/4 HANA to consolidate and modernize core finance functions. SAP S/4 HANA was deployed as the ERP Financial backbone to support general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, fixed asset accounting, and period end close workflows across the organization.
The deployment emphasized SAP S/4 HANA financial modules and configuration, including ledger and subledger structures, chart of accounts design, cost center and profit center configuration, fixed asset management, and statutory and management reporting. Financial master data standardization and configuration of automated posting rules and approval workflows were core elements of the implementation, following ERP Financial functional patterns.
Operational coverage focused on corporate finance and accounting for Samsung SDI’s manufacturing operations in South Korea, consolidating transactional finance data on the SAP S/4 HANA in-memory platform. The implementation centralized finance process orchestration to provide a single source of truth for accounting transactions and to support consistent period close procedures across business units.
Governance workstreams redefined finance process ownership, introduced formal change control for configuration, and established a unified closing calendar and accounting policies to align teams with SAP S/4 HANA workflows. Process and control revisions were positioned to support consistent reconciliations and audit traceability under the new ERP Financial environment.

In 2014 Samsung SDI implemented ADP Payroll to manage semi monthly payroll for its Mexico and United States operations, aligning payroll processing with HR and general affairs functions.

The deployment centered on semi monthly payroll processing, employee data input, and benefits administration, covering medical, US visa sponsorship, and 401K for US employees. The HR and GA Specialist coordinated annual employee evaluations, promotions, and annual salary contracts in support of payroll cycles, and used ADP Payroll alongside SAP, Tress, and GHR to maintain and reconcile HR master data.
ADP Payroll integrations included data exchanges with SAP, Tress, and GHR for employee master data and with MyFinance for office invoice and payment records used by general affairs. Operational coverage encompassed Samsung SDI America and Samsung SDI Mexico entities with direct coordination to Korea HQ, supporting HR and general affairs workflows across payroll, benefits administration, vendor management, and company vehicle payment processing.
Governance and process changes introduced centralized payroll input, routine reporting to Korea HQ, and supplementary controls such as an Assistance Control System on the company intranet and a Position Rating System for production lines to align manpower tracking with payroll and HR processes.

| Samsung SDS | Legacy | Samsung Nexledger Universal | Blockchain Platform | Blockchain | n/a | 2017 | 2017 |
In 2017, Samsung SDI engaged Samsung SDS to apply Samsung Nexledger Universal to its electronic contract management system. The Samsung Nexledger Universal implementation introduces a Blockchain Platform into Samsung SDI’s manufacturing contract workflows, signaling an extension of Samsung SDS’s blockchain business beyond finance and logistics and building on prior commercial deployments to financial institutions and a shipping and logistics consortium.
The project centers on a document management platform for standardized global blockchain contracts, leveraging distributed ledger technology and cryptographic controls to register, encrypt, and verify contract documents. Implemented capabilities include electronic contract registration, contract document encryption, immutable recordkeeping for authenticity verification, and anti repudiation mechanisms intended to prevent forgery and to identify authentic copies for registration in the electronic contract management system.
Operational coverage is staged, with initial deployment targeted at Samsung SDI’s overseas subsidiaries’ electronic contract management systems while legal and policy reviews are conducted per country prior to wider rollout. The implementation impacts contract lifecycle workflows and supplier contracting processes, and is intended to strengthen transparent management and mutual trust between Samsung SDI and its overseas partners.
Samsung SDS is the vendor delivering Samsung Nexledger Universal as the Blockchain Platform, and the engagement includes governance measures to standardize blockchain contract formats and align platform configuration with national electronic contract laws and policies for cross border use. The agreement frames both a technical baseline for secure document management and a regional expansion roadmap that begins with overseas subsidiaries and contemplates broader country level rollouts.
