In my first blog post about SAP Grantor Management in S/4HANA I introduced the new offering of Grantor Management only in S/4HANA and in this blog post I cover all the new capabilities we have released since that initial shipment which includes S/4HANA 2022 FPS1 and FPS2 and what is coming in the latest release S/4HANA 2023 which will be made available in October of 2023.

This S/4HANA 2023 release is considered a go-to release for both compatibility with legacy software and next-generation technology.

From this latest release, SAP S/4HANA will move to a release cycle that occurs 2-years with 3-feature packages or more.

Here the list of the capabilities and the releases where they were released:

  • Grantor Claims (S/4HANA 2022 FPS1)


Now with Grantor Claims available applicants can submit requests for payments of the amounts specified in the agreement or request a reconciliations of payment based on already incurred expenses.


For more information, see Claims

 

  • Case Management integration (S/4HANA 2023 FPS0)


You can use the BAdI: Add Objects to a Grantor Case to write objects from a Grantor Management application, agreement, and/or claim into a case.





A sample process is delivered as standard. In this sample process, you can assign the following objects to a case:


  • Business partners




  • Grantor programs




  • Grantor applications




  • Grantor agreements

  • Ad-Hoc Billing Plans (S/4HANA 2023 FPS0)


The Grantor Management solution in CRM supported Milestone Billing Plans on all Grantor objects but since in S/4HANA Milestone Billing Plans got replaced by Ad-hoc Billing Plans we have integrated Ad-hoc Billing Plans for all Grantor objects (Application, Agreement and Claim on this new release.

When using Ad-Hoc Billing Plans the authorized amount can be split into various installments. The timing for each installment is determined by the billing plan.

  • Grantor Change Request (S/4HANA 2023 FPS0)


A change request represents any changes of circumstances. These changes can be initiated by the grantee or the grantor organization. If the changes are approved, an amended agreement may be created.
