What is SAP CS?

Full name

SAP Customer Service

Category

Finance & Core ERP

Typical roles

SAP CS Consultant, SAP Service Process Lead, SAP CS-PM Consultant

SAP Customer Service in classic SAP ERP manages service notifications, service orders, warranties and service contracts for installed equipment. Organisations using it need to assess their service processes and target architecture when modernising ERP.

Classic CS is a legacy ERP area; the target service solution depends on S/4HANA edition, product availability and the service model.

A practical SAP CS engagement begins with an inventory of the installed product and release, affected business processes, connected systems and decision-makers. From there, the team can define scope, data and integration requirements, testing responsibilities and a realistic transition or support plan.
