SAP Cloud for Sustainable Enterprises - Brief Overview
SAP Product Footprint Management
SAP E-Mobility
SAP Sustainability Cloud is a comprehensive cloud offer that integrates data and process to manage carbon footprint, reduce material waste, and achieve social sustainability. Supported with the power and expertise of a global ecosystem.
SAP Cloud for Sustainable Enterprises brings together data and business process solutions to address:
SAP Product Footprint Management, part of “Zero Emissions with Climate Change Solutions”, enables you to calculate product footprints periodically and at scale along the entire product lifecycle. You can extract business data (such as master data and material movements information) from your SAP S/4HANA or SAP S/4HANA Cloud systems and associate these to your emission factors. You can then run a mass calculation to generate footprints for your products.
With the initial release of SAP Product Footprint Management, the possibility to calculate the footprint of purchased raw material from the supplier, was introduced. We are glad to take this a step further and introduce the possibility to calculate footprint for manufactured products for both; the finished and semi finished products. For now, only the raw materials can be considered and the production activities calculations will come at a later stage.
Calculation is run automatically by leveraging the cost estimate results from SAP Product Cost Planning. For defining the scope of the calculation, we introduced the new calculation template that can be used to define the plants and manufactured products. It is also possible to retrieve calculated footprints by analytical applications via the OData API, as introduced with SAP S/4HANA Cloud 2202 release blog post.

One of the unique propositions of SAP Product Footprint Management is the integration of footprints back into SAP S/4HANA Cloud. In S/4HANA Cloud you have access to the published footprints. Overtime, more and more applications within SAP S/4HANA Cloud will have access to the integrated footprints. We started with the integration into purchasing apps like the Monitor Purchase req app and now its extended to integrate into inventory management processes. Ensuring transparency into sustainability and environmental impact on the inventory and provide sustainability criteria into decision making.
You can watch the demo below for a hands on demo on the important features.

With SAP E-Mobility, as part of “Zero Emissions with Climate Change Solutions”, manage your charge point infrastructure and interact along the mobility value chain in the cloud to support collaborative, end-to-end business models and processes.
Maintaining the integration of all core products into the SAP landscape is key offering by SAP. With this release, SAP E-Mobility continues in this direction and is now taking a step closer with introducing SAP Fiori UX. It will help to connect the charge point backend system to your enterprise landscape and lets you operate your charge point infrastructure at next level. This is just the first step and we have updates and enhancements planned for the future updates to leverage maximum potential.
