In the following second part, I will go into detail about selected innovations for industries that are new with the latest release of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Private Edition, and SAP S/4HANA | 2022 FPS01.
The trading of agricultural commodities, such as wheat, corn, soybeans, and coffee, is a niche business that has highly specific requirements. Commodity traders can have relationships with many counterparties and maintain several contracts with each one. The terms and pricing data in an agricultural commodity contract can be highly complex and include pricing adjustments based on quality factors. In addition, the contract execution can involve both planned and unplanned deliveries, which must be recorded and assigned to one or more contracts. Finally, the contract settlement process must handle prepayments, reassignments, quality-based pricing, tolerances, and optionality. Agricultural Contract Management (ACM) enables commodity traders to capture and manage these complex commodity contracts. It is an end-to-end solution that supports the full contract life-cycle, including the capture of the contract terms, the logistical processing, and the final settlement and closure.
Now with this new FPS01 release, we have a new SAP Fiori app Maintain ACM Applications. With this app, you can maintain Agricultural Contract Management (ACM) application documents related to loading data capture. Using the search function, you can display a list of application documents and then navigate further to display details of any application document.
Picture 1: User efficiency and improved usability while applying application documents.
For more information, see the SAP Help Portal under Maintain ACM Applications.
SAP Order and Delivery Scheduling manages business data such as scheduling groups, the assigned products, and the corresponding order and delivery schedules. This business data is consumed in SAP S/4HANA by business documents such as stock transport orders and purchase orders. The business data from SAP Order and Delivery Scheduling is replicated to SAP S/4HANA so that the order and delivery schedules can be used to determine the delivery dates.
With this new FPS01 release and with the Replicate Business Data Fiori application, you can
For more information, see the SAP Help Portal under Integration with SAP Order and Delivery Scheduling.
With this SAP Fiori app, you can view the selected open sales document details at header, generic article, and item levels, so you can get a complete view of different items in these documents before you can edit these document items.
The app supports the following document types:
With this app, you can now add and validate new standard or extension fields and custom actions using specific class methods to customize different scenarios that are more customer-specific and useful for daily business needs.
Picture 2: Increase usability by adding and validating new standard or extension fields and custom actions using specific class methods in the Manage Sales Documents - Fashion app.
Add functional updates for:
For more information, see the SAP Help Portal Manage Sales Documents - Fashion.
With this Sap Fiori app Manage Master Planned Orders - Fashion, you can view the details of planned orders at the master, individual, and combined planned order levels. In addition, you can use this app to create master-planned orders from individual planned orders and combined planned orders from master-planned orders. This app supports planned orders with single articles, variants of a generic article, or standard materials (product).
With this new FPS01 release, you can now

Advanced intercompany sales process supports the use of value-added services, that is, the system allows the value-added services information to be copied from the standard sales order of the selling company to the intercompany purchase order and then to the intercompany sales order without any redetermination or validation.
With this FPS01 release, you can now enable the system to copy VAS (value-added services) and season information from the initiating standard sales order to the intercompany purchase order and intercompany sales order.
Remarks:
For more information, see the SAP Help Portal under Value-Added Services in Advanced Intercompany Sales Process.
You can use this SAP Fiori app Periodic Meter Reading Overview to obtain a complete picture of the progress of meter reading for a specific portion and a scheduled billing date. You immediately see what needs attention and can directly trigger simple actions. Alternatively, you can navigate to the next level, such as editing plausible billing results, accessing more information, and editing meter readings.
The information displayed on the Periodic Meter Reading Overview page is illustrated using diagrams and tables. You can use filters to refine the information and save this as a variant.
Picture 4: Improve performance when monitoring meter reading results automatically.
With this new FPS01 release, we add additional features for meter reading, including:
The existing integration of utility maintenance processes in the components Work Management (WM) and Customer Service (CS) can now be replaced with the standard SAP S/4HANA Service using the Maintenance Service Order (MSO).
The combined use of the features offered by SAP S/4HANA Service and Plant Maintenance (PM) provides enhanced capabilities in utilities device-related maintenance processes and also keeps disruption of ongoing IS-U processes when converting the new solution to a minimum.
One of the advantages of using a combination of PM and SAP S/4HANA Service MSOs is the fact that PM order numbers and 'Sold-To Party' information found in the transactions listed below are transferred or mapped from the order to the MSO. By the same token, the creation of an MSO automatically triggers the creation of a PM order, thus offering fluid editing options across transactions and a simplified administration of items due for maintenance.
Remark
See the Prerequisites section in the documentation for the Maintenance Service Order and the Work Management Master Data documentation.
Guided goods receipt cancellation
This feature enables you to post cancellation of goods receipts for the inbound delivery or purchase order at the base or remote plant. You can perform goods receipts reversal at remote and base plants that support a guided step-by-step process that automates the cancellation of multiple documents:

Kit Visibility in Field Logistics
This feature enables you to create a kit as a logical grouping of all the types of equipment or materials required to perform maintenance operations that are supplied from the base for a specific maintenance order. You can define the kit grouping on the maintenance order header or operation level through customizing.
Multiple Base Plants
With this new FPS01 release, multiple alternate base plants are considered as possible suppliers to the remote location when there is a shortage of material in the default base plant. The scenario applies where more complex supply chains where for example, multiple bases, and consolidation hubs are in place. The alternative plants can supply from their available stock. This is a use case for supply from stock from an alternative base, but it is not applicable for procurement from an alternative base. In case a different base is responsible for procurement and sends the items to the default base, special procurement keys and material requirement planning (MRP) settings can be used instead.
Process enhancements for nonstock and supplier items: remote capabilities and more
With this feature, you can move a non-stock item into a stock item for two additional scenarios.
This FPS01 release provides the capability for a system landscape administrator to analyze and migrate number ranges, stock data, and change protection within the migration process of SAP ERP Defense Forces & Public Security (DFPS) deployed servers to SAP S/4HANA Defense & Security (D&S) remote servers.
Key feature:

The new functions provided by the Display Status Board app are as follows:
Display “remaining days” on the list and object page in Status Board
This feature enables various roles in Defense & Security or commercial organizations (commander, technical officer, maintenance technician, and so on) to get an overview and see the details of the remaining days until the next due maintenance task for a technical object.
The new functions provided by the Display Status Board app are as follows:
Picture 7: Enable quick and accurate user decisions considering upcoming maintenance activities for the selected technical objects.
Force Element Mass Status Change
If the organizational measure is not active, this feature enables you to change the status of the selected force element, its children, assignments, and/or positions at the same time. It improves usability and productivity, and allows you to do the following:
Remark: The structural objects (force elements, positions) to be updated are structure-dependent. This means the system allows you to select which usage type is to be observed by your structure determination.
Authorized and Actuals for Persons
You can use this feature as an interface to compare the authorized materials that are assigned to a position with the actuals that are issued to personnel. This interface retrieves the authorized material assignments for a specific force element and position and references this against the issued to functional as actuals.
Improved FMPO Life Cycle Management
You can use this feature to evaluate the usage of accompanying parts in either existing authorized material assignments to a force element or in existing flexible material planning objects. The lifecycle of accompanying parts can now be monitored and more easily exchanged, not only in the master data but also in the transactional data.
Remark: The accompanying FMPOs and products have end-of-life or are replaced by alternative items. Before alternative or even new items are added to existing FMPOs, it is important to verify where those items are used in different FMPOs and in existing assignments. To review existing FMPO master data and assignments, two new reports are provided for the user to verify individual replacements. This is because it could be the case that not all FMPOs or assignments are affected by the replacement.
Picture 8: Improved usability of the force element and the measures apps.
The claim is a business transaction representing a request from a grantee for payment or reconciliation of payment based on accounting for incurred expenses or meeting other terms or conditions of the agreement.
This FPS01 release enables you to create grantor claims. Grantor claims can be used by the grantee to do the following:
With this FPS01 release, you can add custom tables and custom fields to your Grantor Management applications. The following extensibility options are supported:
Remarks:
Field Extensibility: According to your business requirements, you can use the Custom Fields app to create and maintain custom fields in the Grantor Management WebClient UI apps for the program, application, agreement, and claim.
Table Extensibility: According to your business requirements, you can use the Application Enhancement Tool (AET) to extend tables in the Grantor Management WebClient UI apps for the application, agreement, and claim.
