S/4HANA
SAP's intelligent ERP suite, running on the SAP HANA in-memory database. It is SAP's core product for the next generation of enterprise resource planning.

Nestlé described an S/4HANA transformation covering 140 countries, letting Joule and the accounts receivable assistant prioritize collection work by risk.
Without planned governance, an organization may simultaneously have two paths — Joule creating sales orders through the S/4HANA public API and a custom agent creating sales orders through a Z-function REST endpoint — leading to a 12% discrepancy in order counts at month-end closing.
Clean Core is an architectural principle that SAP has heavily promoted in recent years, whose core requirement is to keep the S/4HANA standard core unmodified by customers (no modifying standard code, no directly writing to standard tables), with all extensions implemented through released APIs, the BTP extension framework, or side-by-side extensions.
The SAP clean core principle requires implementing custom logic through parallel extensions (deployed on BTP) or released APIs rather than directly modifying SAP standard code, to ensure the system can be upgraded smoothly and reduce technical debt.
FPS (Feature Pack Stack) is a feature delivery unit in the SAP S/4HANA version system, sitting between major versions and Support Packages; some AI components were previously available only for the latest FPS.
