The full release notes for ‘What’s new in SAP S/4HANA Cloud 1902’ are 540 pages long so we thought we would save you some time and made a list of some of our favourite features from this new iteration.

Advanced Finance Closing

With this feature, you can plan, execute, monitor and analyse your business’ closing tasks more effectively. The aim of it is to significantly increase the speed and accuracy of your closing processes with lower resource use which is definitely a good thing.
