With the 1909 release of SAP S/4HANA, a new set of innovations across all lines of business is offered to the customers. Not only the comprehensive coverage of lines of business but also the different nature of innovations indicates that especially the bandwidth of the release makes it worth having a look.



The video provides a first impression of the new release and its highlights. If you are interested now, keep on reading! The following blog will provide further information on each screen that is presented in the video.

 

Harmonized User Experience with SAP Fiori 3

In SAP S/4HANA 1909 the first step towards SAP Fiori 3 the new target User Experience for SAP products is done: The new theme named “Quartz” is lighter and more natural to put application content in the center of attention. With the new shell header bar, navigation is simplified and aligned to be best fit for all SAP products paving the way towards a consistent User Experience. How the latter might look like is shown in the example featuring SAP S/4HANA Predicted Delivery Delay and Ariba Network. Read more about SAP Fiori 3 here.
