10 Tips to Simplify and Improve the user experience with SAP S/4HANA Cloud

SAP S/4HANA Cloud provides a modern and intuitive user interface (UI) designed to be easy to use for users of all levels of experience.

Though it already has a modern and intuitive user interface, here are some tips to further simplify and improve the user experience.

1. Personalization: S/4HANA Cloud allows users to personalize the interface according to their preferences.

Users can hide or show fields, adjust the layout of tables, and choose their favourite apps to be displayed on the home screen.

2. Navigation: S/4HANA Cloud provides various navigation options to help users quickly access the required information.

Users can use the search bar to find specific apps, use the favourite apps feature, and navigate between different apps using the side panel.

3. Contextual Help: S/4HANA Cloud provides contextual help for each screen, which can be accessed by clicking on the question mark icon on the top right corner of the screen.

The contextual help provides step-by-step guidance for the task at hand.

4. Mobile App: S/4HANA Cloud has a mobile app that allows users to access their tasks and reports on the go.

The mobile app provides a simplified interface with easy navigation and quick access to frequently used apps.

5. Integration with Microsoft Office: S/4HANA Cloud integrates with Microsoft Office, allowing users to work on S/4HANA Cloud documents directly from Microsoft Office apps. This integration simplifies the user experience and reduces the need for switching between different applications.

It’s important to note that the user experience can vary depending on the specific implementation and customization of the solution.

6. Use of SAP Fiori Launchpad: Fiori Launchpad is the landing page for SAP Fiori applications, which provides a personalized, role-based, and responsive experience.

You can customize the tiles on the launchpad to display only the applications that you need, making it easier and faster to access the functionality you use most often.

7. Create Custom Work Centre’s: S/4HANA Cloud allows you to create custom work centre’s tailored to specific roles or processes.

You can include only the relevant apps and transactions in the work centre and configure them to match your business processes. This can help simplify the UI and streamline the user experience.

8. Use SAP CoPilot: SAP CoPilot is an AI-powered digital assistant that allows users to interact with S/4HANA Cloud using natural language.

You can use CoPilot to quickly execute transactions, search for information, and get contextual help. This can help simplify the UI by reducing the need to navigate menus and screens manually.

9. Customizing Layout: You can customize the S/4HANA Cloud UI by simplifying the navigation paths. You can create shortcuts for frequently used transactions, hide unused fields, and group related information together to make it easier to find and use.

10. Use Guided Procedures: Guided procedures provide step-by-step instructions for executing complex tasks, making it easier for users to follow the process and avoid errors.

You can use guided procedures to automate repetitive tasks, such as creating purchase orders or processing invoices, reducing the need for manual input and simplifying the UI.
