SAP S/4HANA Training - in Plain English (Udemy.com)

Simple SAP S/4HANA Logistics for Functional Consultants in Logistics ( SD, MM )

4.5
17,981 reviews

Created by: Siva Prasad

Last updated August 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 17,981 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in August 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

Siva Prasad's course is a seven-hour orientation to S/4HANA, aimed at people who already work in SAP. The first part explains what HANA actually is and why SAP moved to a columnar, in-memory database. The middle covers what changed in SD and MM, with the biggest blocks on customer vendor integration and output determination. It finishes with migration and deployment options. Think of it as a briefing on the delta from ECC, not a configuration workshop. It was last updated in August 2026.

Reviewers like how plainly the ideas are explained, and the teaching gets credit for being easy to follow even from people who feel shaky with computers. One viewer liked the real examples, such as GE. Around 15,600 of the 17,981 ratings are four or five stars. The complaints are mild. Three-star reviewers want more interactive material, find some terms confusing, or want newer upgrades covered. A newcomer said table names like VBAK and VAKPA go unexplained. One person found the pace a bit slow.

The course has only three quizzes and no assignments or practice tests, so expect to watch rather than do. That suits a consultant refreshing before a migration project. It assumes you have already used SAP. If you have, it is a quick, low-effort way to get current. If not, start with a beginner course first.

Best forWorking SAP SD or MM consultants who need a clear picture of what changed from ECC to S/4HANA.
Skip it ifYou are brand new to SAP, or you want to click through configuration in a live system.

Pros

  • Explains why SAP built HANA and S/4HANA in plain language, not marketing terms
  • Covers SD and MM delta changes: credit management, output determination, pricing, ATP
  • Refreshed in August 2026, with a closing look at migration and deployment options
  • Reviewers say the teaching is easy to follow and uses real company examples

Cons

  • Mostly lecture with three quizzes and no assignments; reviewers want more interactive material
  • Assumes SAP experience; a newcomer was lost on table names like VBAK and VAKPA
  • Reviewers say it needs more content as new S/4HANA releases arrive
Great course. Concepts are very easily explained. Pace of the course could be a bit faster.
Rupa Avasarala, a student

Listed as intermediate, and it really needs some SAP background; one newcomer says the table names lost them.

Course Description

** End of Disclaimer **

SAP S/4HANA is SAP's ERP suite redesigned on the SAP HANA platform. Most SAP consultants that I speak to typically have heard of HANA or S/4HANA. But there is so much of marketing jargon behind this, it is sometimes confusing to put your finger firmly on what HANA or S/4HANA is really - 

  • Is it an ERP ?
  • Is it a database ?
  • Is it a IoT ?
  • Is it a Data warehouse ?

Also, more importantly 

  • why did SAP come up with a columnar, in-memory database called HANA ? 
  • and why is SAP trying to re-invent the SAP ERP suite on SAP HANA database as SAP S4HANA ?
  • and why more and more apps ( read transactions ) are being re-written in Fiori rather than ABAP ?

These are precisely the questions you will know the answer to in the first quarter of the course.

SAP S/4HANA is the same SAP ERP that you are already aware of as a Functional consultant in your respective areas. So, 

  • Are there new business processes introduced in S/4HANA ?
  • Should I unlearn anything from my current ERP background ?
  • How should I go about learning S/4HANA ?
  • What are the major delta changes available in the latest SAP S/4HANA version ?
  • Where to look for delta changes ?
  • What are the changes in SAP SD ?
  • What are the changes in SAP MM ?

These are some of the questions you will be knowing the answers to in the next half of the course. 

And finally, how do you implement S/4HANA ? 

  • What happens to existing ERP implementation ?
  • What are the deployment options ?
  • How long will SAP ERP continue to be supported ?
  • Are all new SAP implementations going to be on S/4HANA ?

These are the questions you will be knowing the answers to in the last quarter of the course. 

Irrespective of your background in SAP - Functional or Technical - Eventually, SAP would be moving on to the new simplified data model used in S/4HANA. Be the first to get on to the bandwagon and learn all you need to learn about S/4HANA. Are you ready ?

See you in the course.

Instructor Details

Siva Prasad

I am an SAP SD/MM functional consultant with roughly 12 years of experience in SAP. Teaching has been my passion since a long time and I have been teaching SAP since 2009. I have worked on countless projects in SAP in the US and the rest of the world. I have worked with major companies in the US like Apple, Wal-mart, Adidas, Adobe, Johnson & Johnson etc.

All along, I have worked with numerous SAP consultants with skills that range from absolute rookie to SAP platinum consultants. And the one thing that I found lacking in many beginner level consultants is a lack of proper training. They were just 1 step away from being a good quality SAP consultant. This gap can be easily be filled with high quality training.

SAP, just like any other packaged software can best be learned by example. This has been the focus of all my trainings - Examples and correlating them to real-time scenarios. Once you learn how to co-relate a particular piece of configuration with a real time example, you can become as good as an experienced consultant.

This course was kind of unconventional but simplified all complex understandings of SAP4HANA. It is a great refresh.

By Trixia Dinso on 8/2/2026

It was a good match! I learned about the idea of S/4 HANA and the most common ERP problem, complexity.

By Lise Gibson on 6/12/2026

That was truly amazing! I learned so much! Well explained in all sections!

By Braja Kishore Biswal on 4/17/2026

Excellent explanation. Its cleared my all doubts about S4 HANA and its past and future

By Anonymized User on 3/20/2026

More Content should be added in the Course as there are multiple upgrades now.

By Weerapat Chiranon on 3/3/2026

I'm very new to SAP and have no idea what the abbreviations mean (i.e. VAKPA, VBAK). It might be better to add a section explaining these abbreviations

By Uwais Abdul Malik on 3/3/2026

The explanations tie into each other and is simplified for the sole purpose of newbies like myself to go through the step-by-step processes and understanding of SAP.

By Jay Kumar Pandey on 2/16/2026

This course offers a very clear and practical introduction to SAP S/4HANA, especially for functional consultants in SD and MM. The instructor explains complex concepts like HANA, the simplified data model, and Fiori in simple language that beginners can understand. I liked how the course breaks down the reasons behind SAP’s shift from ECC to S/4HANA and why the in‑memory, columnar approach matters. The sections on delta changes in SD and MM are particularly useful for anyone transitioning from traditional ERP. The instructor’s real‑world experience and examples make the learning relatable. Overall, it’s a solid, beginner‑friendly course that helps you build a strong foundation in S/4HANA without overwhelming jargon.

By Alberto Fabrizi on 2/9/2026

A highly valuable course that clearly explains the core configurations behind SAP S/4HANA, enabling users—especially those transitioning from ECC—to work with the system more confidently and efficiently. Strongly recommended

By Juan Reese on 12/23/2025

I have an embarrassing low skillset with computers. This presentation is provided in a way that faciltates a non-threatening and comfortable transference of information to all that give it their attention and due diligence in learning it.

By Maria Medina on 11/15/2020

very clear in concepts and the way the teacher talks

By Ganapathy P on 11/8/2020
