HeadsUP 1610 : Expected Innovations
Look forward to your viewpoints & Comments ..
Hello Monika
I was looking for the release dates of S4.
Do you have any idea about which new itens will be part of FPS03?
Thanks
Fabio
SAP is skipping FPS03, In Nov 2016 they will release 1511 SPS03. This will contain bug fixes but not sure if it will include any new functionality.
1610 scope is already part of the chart under section "C" .
SAP has not declared the release date for S4 so we will need to keep guessing.
If it's an SPS (support package stack) it should not contain new functionality, just bug fixes!
@Fabio Dezan - find blog that coves expected 1610 innovations.. in addition to how the landscape may evolve with S4HANA

Even though S/4HANA OP 1610 documentation is not yet released, there is a way to get to some information searching for SAP Notes in new Support Portal.

Thx for links related to 1610. 🙂
Is there a way we can 5*STAR a comment ?? or add it to favorites??
Yes, I have been going thru SAP NOTES and some of the recent NOTEs do mention about 1610.. based on same I tried to update my document...
SAP S/4HANA 1511 Initial Release, Feature Pack 01&02 : What's NEW & What's NOT !! Advantage S4HANA 1610
Thx for links..
& Now I am wondering.. whether It should be another blog for 1610 what is & what is NOT or should I continue adding to existing document...
Hi Monica, when in doubt I would suggest to write another blog when you have new things to tell!
-> That gives better overview and more visibility of the new content!
Also, you get a new commtens section.
Of course, you can put links in your blogs to connect them to each other!
best
Joachim
Thx Joachim Rese
Yes 1610 deserves a NEW document..
btw can you please also share, how (if) I can make the comments of existing document, move to next page, so as to make the TABLE in Document fully visible & thus increasing the readability of the document.
Thanks & Best Regards

Monica, lets check if the new SCN address this issue. I also think starting a new blog for 1610 would be the best I have seen lots of great blogs but Somnath Manna's comment gets top marks. BTW I did manage to meet him at TechEd Bangalore but we are yet do get a chance to discuss in detail.
SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management OP 1610 is unifying simple logistics and simple finance ? SAP is moving away from differentiating these 2 terms as in 1511 ? Just trying to understand how it will be dis-positioned. TIA !!
