Hi Petra OHLINGER,
It's a good information on EML. Any specific reason why the Universal Parallel Accounting (UPA) is available in selective countries like USA, Germany, France, Japan, and Romania.?
Thanks
Shesh
Hi Shesh,
I am not aware of the reasons and am not involved in defining the roadmap for UPA. I can recommend this blog, which has many links that provide information.

Hi Petra,
Thanks for the information..
Do you know The enterprise management layer for SAP S/4HANA release 2022 is available now? or is there any specific date?
Also whether the availability of EML for SAP S4HANA is release specific of FPS specific ? I am asking because S4HANA 2022 FPS01 released on 21.02.2022. will EML be available for that FPS as well?
Thanks
Bikram
Hi Bikram,
The enterprise management layer is now available for release 2022 FPS00.
There will be an updated version for FPS01, probably later in April.
Thanks and regards,
Petra
Thank you so much Petra..I have one small query.
currently we are in S4HANA 2021 FPS02 with EML. and for your information this is fresh system installed and delivered by SAP on 3rd of Feb this year(RISE with SAP). No one has yet accessed it.
can we upgrade to S4HANA2022 FPS01? or we need to wait until EML is available for S4HANA FPS01, i.e later April? Not sure how it works from Version upgrade perspective..
Looking forward to hear your expert opinion on this .As always thanks for your help..
Regards
Bikram
Hi Bikram
you can either have your system upgraded and then regression-test the business processes or - if no or no substantial work has been done in your system replace with a new EML image. We should discuss your concrete case. You can send me an email.
Thanks and regards,
Petra
We only have version 2021 on CAL to be used as SANDBOX. Can we also use version 2022 as sandbox on CAL ? I dont see 2022 version on CAL only 2021 is available. Basically we want to use this system as sandbox. 2nd question can we install add ons or fully customize this EML Sandbox ? Thanks
Hi Shahram,
The CAL image for the 2022 version of the enterprise manager will become available within the next few weeks. Please review the terms and conditions of CAL, there is a trial option available for 30 days.
Thanks and regards, Petra
Hi Petra.
Great articles! If you activate the retail business function on a brand new EML system, will you encounter errors?
Best wishes.
Hi Carlos,
YES. You can activate Retail Business Function without any error in an EML system. And the EML scope will still work fine.
However, the Retail transactions will of course not work just by activating the retail business function in an EML baseline system. A number of Retail basic config entries will need to be added. The reason is that EML works on a white list approach and some retail config entries available in client 000 are required for retail transactions to work. They need to be copied into the EML clients.
Hope this answers your question!
Thanks and regards,
Petra
Yes, it does. Thanks a lot for prompt and clear answer.
Hi Petra,
thanks for the update. I want to get detailed documentation (flow, testscript) for OTC10 and OTC20, which are new since Aug. 2023. But the only search result is this blog.
Thanks and regards
