This article focuses on improvements in financial planning and analysis in SAP S/4HANA 2025. The emphasis is on extensibility for developers, enhanced analytics, and simplified processes in overhead and product cost controlling. The goal is to enable better reporting, increased automation, and expanded opportunities for custom development, while simultaneously eliminating outdated or redundant tools.
Developers can quickly create custom applications without modifying core objects.
This changes the risk associated with upgrades.
