Its main value, however, is centered on requirements specific to multinational corporations:
- Parallel accounting requirements according to group GAAP as well as local legal and tax requirements
- Localized, preconfigured business content and documentation for up to 46 countries
- Intercompany processes and group reporting (consolidation)
While it is as default included for SAP S/4HANA Cloud automatically, the Enterprise Management Layer is available as a service for the following deployment types: SAP S/4HANA, private cloud edition (e.g. in context of “Rise with SAP”) and On-premise deployment (including Hyperscalers)

Can the content be adapted to each customer’s needs?
The Enterprise Management Layer is a global template which can be tailored to each customer’s requirements in 2 simple stages:
- Initial build: Each customer specifies the initial scope and certain parameters for the build of their system such as the countries in scope, but also the customer’s group currency and fiscal year variant. For each country, around 160 standard scope items will be available. In addition, scope optionswhich might require additional software licenses can be selected for functionality.
- Customer project: Fit-to-Standard workshops (see blog about SAP Activate) are recommended to maximize re-use of SAP delivered ready-to-run business processes while carefully assessing where a customer’s business requires to tailor or extend the solution.
What’s new?
- The scope: 43 countries based on SAP Best Practices (Slovakia being new), new scope items included in the standard scope plus a longer list of scope options, such as contract and lease accounting, group reporting, collections and dispute management, or actual costing.
- The design in Finance: To the group and local accounting principle, we added a third, tax accounting principle and now offer 5 ledgers (plus 2 extension ledgers): group/leading ledger + 2 local ledgers + 2 tax ledgers (* the second ledger of each pair with local fiscal year variants for India and Japan, for example).
- Localization content: We have tested, enhanced, and documented localization content to fully reflect the latest local requirements, for example for Great Britain’s BREXIT.
