Description
The SAP S/4HANA Conversion and System Upgrade ADM328 Training course is designed for SAP Basis professionals and consultants who want to master system conversion and upgrade processes in SAP landscapes. This course provides a structured, hands-on approach to converting existing SAP ERP systems into SAP S/4HANA using industry-standard tools and methodologies.
The training begins with an introduction to SAP system architecture and S/4HANA conversion concepts, helping learners understand the technical foundation required for system upgrades. You will explore the Maintenance Planner and SAP Solution Manager to plan system changes and assess system readiness before conversion .
A major focus of the course is on the Software Update Manager (SUM), where you will learn manual preparation steps, configuration, execution phases, and troubleshooting techniques.
