Hello Bose. SAP S/4HANA Cloud Manufacturing content with SAP Analytics Cloud (28S) is no longer part of the best practices content.
It was removed earlier in the year as SAP S/4HANA Cloud now offer embedded analytics cloud content. You can find content via Manage KPIs and Report tile. Customer can create new content as well. We are no longer using this 28S content in enterprise SAC.
Embedded SAC Smart Business KPI & Report Modeler enables your company to define, manage, and leverage consistent KPIs and Reports across all your business functions
