The Seven Most Common Pitfalls in Moving from SAP to S/4HANA are :

1. Lack of planning and strategy: Failure to properly plan and strategize for the transition can lead to delays, budget overruns and other problems(including disgruntled end users)
2. Insufficient resources: Insufficient resources, such as trained staff and budget, can hinder the transition process.
3. Incomplete migration of data: Failure to migrate all data from the old to the new system can result in loss of important information and disruption of business operations.
4. Customization challenges: S/4HANA has a different architecture than previous SAP systems, which can make customization difficult.
5. Integration issues: S/4HANA must integrate with other systems and processes, which can be a challenge if not properly planned.
6. Change management: Moving to a new system requires changes to processes and procedures, which can be difficult to manage and implement.
7. Testing and quality assurance: Ensuring that the new system functions properly and meets the needs of the business is essential, but can be a challenge without proper testing and test management.
