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
