Where Can This Script Be Used?
This demo script has been written for usage with the SAP S/4HANA 2022 FPS02 – 2021 (all FPS) Fully-Activated Appliance (in
short “appliance” in this script), hence you will need such an appliance to make use of this guide.
The appliance can be brought up in two ways, and the demo scenario in this script is largely the same for both:
1. Via SAP Cloud Appliance Library (hosted on cloud providers)

You need a cloud provider account at AWS, MS Azure, or GCP. With this, you can deploy the appliance within 1-2 hours from
https://cal.sap.com > Solutions > SAP S/4HANA (your preferred FPS) Fully- Activated Appliance.
2. Via installing it on your own on-premise hardware.
You need to provide your own hardware, and order & install the appliance as explained in SAP Note 2041140.
If you are new to the SAP S/4HANA Fully-Activated Appliance, introductory information can be found here:
https://blogs.sap.com/2018/12/12/sap-s4hana-fully-activated-appliance-create-your-sap-s4hana-1809-system-in-a-fraction-of-
the-usual-setup-time/
Important:
Before you start your demo, please read SAP S/4HANA Fully-Activated Appliance: Demo Scripts for information about necessary
preparations, especially any post-deployment steps to ensure the full functionality of your appliance. These steps are covered in
sections:
B) General Remarks
C) Post-deployment Steps
D) Log-on to the system
Besides this, you will also find links to all demo scripts on this page.

Demo Story — Group Reporting
For over 30 years, our customers have trusted us to help them run their group close process covering data
collection, consolidation, analysis, and publication. Today, we are building the consolidation software of the
Intelligent Enterprise. From a functional/process perspective, S/4HANA Finance for Group Reporting draws from
our heritage solutions for consolidation.
The main values added with the new S/4HANA Finance for Group Reporting:
• Simplify your architecture – S/4HANA Finance for Group Reporting is fully embedded into S/4 HANA.
What does that mean? It means it’s automatically installed with SAP S/4HANA whether it’s used or not.
It’s fully contained in the S/4HANA Database and in memory capabilities. It has the same UI, same
security, and same reporting capabilities. This all leads to large improvements in TCO as the installation,
setup and processes are greatly simplified.
• Unify Local Close and Group Close – This unification with Group Reporting improves data quality and
accelerates your group close process, while enhancing transparency and auditability using drill-through
capabilities from group reporting to the operational accounting journals.
• Continuous Accounting helps shorten your close – You can perform preliminary consolidation tasks and
reporting as often as required on any day of the month. The Universal Journal represents the single source
of truth while at the same time streamlining reconciliations and ensuring instant availability of the most
current data.

4 Group Reporting - Matrix Consolidation
Matrix consolidation combines multiple views of consolidated data for legal or management purposes. Data can be analyzed at the
Company / Profit Center/ Segment level using the hierarchies created based on the requirements.
Via Matrix consolidation, SAP S/4HANA Group Reporting supports complex legal requirements for group related postings and
provides re-organization flexibility.
Consolidated master data can be displayed by following different views:
• Group View: built on the group structure which includes consolidated groups and units
• Hierarchy views: built on hierarchies of Profit Centers, Segments and Consolidation units
• Combine different views
Group reporting is transparent, dynamic, and flexible as all views retrieve the same set of consolidated data applied with different
reporting logic. No further task processing is needed if you create a new hierarchy after completion of the Consolidation tasks.
Furthermore, you can create multiple time-dependent hierarchies to analyze data at a certain moment and even simulate data for a
future structure.
For testing purpose, we have created multiple hierarchies into the system:
● By scope and profit centers hierarchy BRD
● By scope and consolidation unit hierarchy Region
● By scope and segment hierarchy SEG
