The simplification list serves three purposes:
Planning the actual system conversion
Reducing efforts during the actual conversion
by enabling individual simplification items to be dealt with in
advance for those customers intending to migrate in a future project
Implementing SAP S/4HANA-compliant strategic capabilities when
rolling out new capabilities to avoid rework on SAP S/4HANA
(relevant to, for example, customers who still need to finish major
rollouts prior to converting to SAP S/4HANA)
Customers are supported by:
Descriptions of the changes in the simplification list
Pre-checks to establish whether a customer is currently using the
changed solutions or technologies
Custom Code Migration Worklist content to support the customer in
adapting custom code for use with SAP S/4HANA, where required
Tools and guidelines on handling the necessary adaptations related
to these changes, for example, reports for automatically migrating
data to the new data model during the system conversion

Note: Based on our current project experience, on average 30-40
simplification items are ultimately relevant for a dedicated customer
Change of existing functionality: 16%

(e.g. in Sales & Distribution)
Functionality not available within SAP
S/4HANA: 59%
Functional equivalent available in most cases
Example: FI-AR-CR Credit Management
Not the target architecture: 25%
Functionality still available
Example: Warehouse Management (WM)
