The US automotive industry, one of the world’s largest, is undergoing an unprecedented digital transformation.  

The complexity of operations, the pressure for efficiency, and the need to adapt to new technologies such as electric vehicles and automation demand robust and scalable solutions.  

In this scenario, SAP and the automotive industry join forces in a strategic partnership as a global leader in enterprise software. 

The Connected Car Market in the United States

With a market estimated at $28.1 billion in 2023, the sector of Connected Car in US is projected to reach an impressive $170 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.76%. The data comes from a study published by Market Research Future (MRFR). 

Recent efforts by the US government to regulate the privacy and security of data in connected vehicles also prove that the demand for smart cars continues to grow exponentially. This trend is an enduring feature of the industry. 

This expansion, which challenges the American automotive industry, is driven by several factors, including: 

• Increasing adoption of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems): Prioritizing safety, manufacturers are equipping vehicles with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and other features that rely on connectivity. 

• Strict government regulations: US authorities are imposing increasingly stringent safety standards, making ADAS mandatory in many models. 

• Demand for comfort, safety, and convenience: Consumers seek vehicles that offer a complete experience, with internet access, entertainment, and remote monitoring systems to prevent theft. 

Why is SAP so relevant to the US automotive industry?

SAP offers a comprehensive portfolio of solutions that can be applied to various processes in the automotive value chain, from product development to supply chain management and customer interaction. 

The solution for the automotive industry helps prepare companies for the future of mobility, while managing profitable and sustainable operations in the present. 

Some of the main advantages of using SAP solutions in the automotive sector include: 

• Manufacturing and adopting electric vehicles (EVs) and batteries: Optimize your production processes to meet the growing demand for electric vehicles and efficiently manage the battery lifecycle. 

• Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into your connected cars: Combine customer data with vehicle data to create personalized experiences, predict maintenance needs, and develop new services. 

• Unlocking new revenue streams with mobility services: Expand your business beyond vehicle sales, offering car-sharing services, vehicle subscriptions, and other innovative business models. 

• Building a resilient supply chain in a secure and trusted data ecosystem: Ensure business continuity, optimize your logistics processes, and protect your sensitive data. 

• Driving a sustainable and profitable mobility business: Align your operations with sustainability trends, reduce your environmental impact, and increase your market competitiveness.

Operating under Mexico’s IMMEX program presents numerous challenges, from managing inventory and customs requirements to ensuring compliance with complex regulations.  

This program, officially known as the Maquiladora Program, allows companies to import goods into Mexico on a temporary basis without paying taxes or tariffs as long as those goods are re-exported.

With the official end of maintenance for SAP GTS 11.0 scheduled for the end of 2025, companies using SAP GTS for customs and foreign trade processes will need to migrate to its successor, SAP GTS Edition for SAP HANA.  

This migration is not just an update but a conversion to a completely new solution.  

Let’s explore the innovations that this change brings to our operations. 

SAP GTS: A New Era of Efficiency and Usability  

First, it is important to understand that SAP GTS Edition for HANA is not a simple update of the SAP GTS 11.0 system, but a new solution using SAP’s latest technology stack.  

This means that all functionalities have been reviewed and improved, providing a more modern and efficient experience.  

One of the most noticeable changes is the user interface. SAP has introduced SAP Fiori, which replaces old SAP GUI transactions with redesigned Fiori apps.  

This new interface is much more intuitive, improving usability and transparency, making daily tasks more efficient for users. 

Review of User Roles and Authorizations  

User roles and authorizations have been completely redesigned in SAP GTS Edition for HANA.  

The new authorization system offers more security and flexibility, ensuring that users only have access to the functionalities and data necessary for their specific roles.  

Additionally, trade preference management has been simplified with a new data model and revised processes. This includes the management of long-term supplier declarations (LTSDs), making the process more efficient and less prone to errors. 

New Analysis Capabilities  

SAP GTS Edition for HANA offers new analysis options in key areas such as compliance, customs, and preferences.  

These options are embedded in the Fiori apps, allowing companies to gain valuable real-time insights and make more informed decisions.  

System search functionality has also been significantly improved. The Enterprise Search function allows for more efficient searching of master and transactional data, a major improvement over the previous system.  

The sanctioned party list screening process is another aspect that has gained much more agility in SAP GTS Edition for HANA.  

The new system eliminates the need for complicated preliminary work, making the verification process more straightforward and less time-consuming. 

How to Prepare for the Conversion? 

 

For many companies, the switch to SAP GTS Edition for HANA is a major project, and the time for this transition is running out.  

It is crucial for companies to start planning the migration as soon as possible. Some of the key steps to consider in this process are:  

1. Assessment of the Current Environment: Understand the existing infrastructure and identify current customizations and integrations by running the readiness check. For more information, see SAP Note 3033398. 

2. Understand the differences: To understand the differences between the old and the new systems, SAP has provided the Simplification List for SAP Global Trade Services, Edition for SAP HANA. In this list, it is described in detail, on a functional level, what happens to individual transactions and solution capabilities.

3. Training and Education: Ensure that end users receive adequate training to use the new interface and functionalities of SAP GTS Edition for HANA. 

4. Rigorous Testing: Conduct comprehensive testing to ensure that the conversion does not cause operational disruptions. 

5. Gradual Implementation: Consider phased implementation, starting with a pilot to identify and resolve any issues before full adoption.

Some of these functionalities, such as advance payment integration, are not exclusive to Mexico and can be implemented in other countries.  

Additionally, Origen has developed a solution to leverage Mexico’s IMMEX program, allowing companies with assembly plants in the country to import components without paying taxes or duties, provided the finished product is re-exported.

With these offerings, companies can better prepare for the migration to SAP GTS Edition for HANA, ensuring a smooth transition and maximum utilization of the new system’s functionalities.

SAP has announced that support for SAP GTS 11.0 and E4H2020 will end on December 31, 2025. After this date, there will be no more bug fixes, security updates, or technical support.  

To keep your foreign trade operations running smoothly and securely, it is essential to take proactive measures to migrate to a compatible solution.  

This article will guide you through this process, explaining the available options and the necessary steps for the transition.  

Upgrading to SAP GTS Edition for SAP HANA  

SAP recommends migrating to SAP GTS edition for SAP HANA, the latest version of its foreign trade software.  

This new version offers several advantages, such as an updated development platform that ensures greater stability and security, an enhanced user interface with Fiori Apps, better integrations with other SAP systems (such as S/4HANA and ECC), and access to the latest innovations and features.  

However, before starting the migration to SAP GTS edition for SAP HANA, proper planning is crucial. Here are some important steps to consider:  

1. Compatibility Check (Readiness Check): Evaluate whether your current system meets the technical prerequisites for the migration. Running the Readiness Check in the SAP GTS 11.0 or E4H2020 environment is essential to identify any necessary adjustments.  

2. Simplification List: The SAP Simplification List provides detailed information about what happens to individual transactions and functionalities in the new version. Identifying discontinued, replaced, or modified functionalities is essential for migration planning and process adaptation. 

3. Conversion Guide: This provides technical details on the migration process from SAP GTS 11.0 or E4H2020 to SAP GTS edition for SAP HANA, covering aspects such as conversion steps, tools used, and specific technical considerations. 

4. Conversion FAQs: SAP Note 3296252 gathers the most frequently asked questions about the conversion to SAP GTS edition for SAP HANA. Consulting it can clarify initial doubts and anticipate potential challenges. 

5. Conversion of Existing SAP GTS Licenses: Legally and commercially, SAP GTS edition for SAP HANA is considered a new product. Therefore, converting existing licenses is required. Contact your SAP sales representative for more information on the conversion process. 

Migration Options to SAP GTS Edition for SAP HANA 

There are three main approaches to migrating to SAP GTS edition for SAP HANA: Brownfield, Greenfield, and Bluefield.  

The best option depends on factors such as the size and complexity of your current system, available budget, risk tolerance, and the need for operational continuity.  

Brownfield Migration: This is the fastest and most economical option, where the existing system, including data, customizations, and specific developments, is converted to the new version.  

This approach minimizes the need for changes in processes and protects the investments made in the previous system, but it involves a period of system unavailability until the migration is complete. Existing customizations may require adjustments to function on the new platform.  

Greenfield Migration: This consists of a complete reimplementation of the SAP GTS system in a new environment. A new system will be installed, configured, and customized according to business needs.  

All processes will be modeled from scratch, and custom codes will need to be rewritten. The advantage is the opportunity to optimize processes and allow a gradual rollout, minimizing system unavailability. 

However, this approach is more time-consuming and expensive, and there may be a loss of historical data if selective loading is not performed. 

Bluefield Migration: This offers a middle ground between the Brownfield and Greenfield approaches. A copy of the existing SAP GTS system is created, and all data is deleted, retaining customizations and custom codes.  

The empty system is then converted to a new instance of SAP GTS edition for SAP HANA. Finally, selected data is loaded into the new system using a migration tool.  

This option balances risks, costs, and implementation time, allowing the selection of specific innovations and process improvements from the new version while preserving historical data.  

The downside is the potential increase in infrastructure costs due to the temporary duplication of systems and longer unavailability during conversion.  

SAP GTS Localization for Mexico: New Offerings from Origen Tech  

In addition to migration options, it is important to consider specific localization solutions, especially for markets like Mexico.  

Origen Tech, a company specializing in making SAP software accessible in countries where SAP does not offer a local version, has recently developed a localization solution for imports in Mexico, which includes several crucial functionalities.

Another significant feature is direct integration with the Mexican authorities’ system (VUCEM) to obtain the final import documentation. Some of these functionalities, such as advance payment integration, are not exclusive to Mexico and can be implemented in other countries.  

Additionally, Origen has developed a solution to leverage Mexico’s IMMEX program, allowing companies with assembly plants in the country to import components without paying taxes or duties, provided the finished product is re-exported.

Maintaining compliance with ever-evolving tax regulations can be a daunting task. Fortunately, SAP Document and Reporting Compliance offers a powerful tool to streamline this process: the Electronic Document Consistency Checker.

The Electronic Document Consistency Checker also works by meticulously comparing data across your SAP system and the relevant authority platforms. This includes tax returns, invoices, and other critical financial documents.  

By identifying inconsistencies in real-time or near-real-time, the checker allows you to address any discrepancies before they become major issues. This proactive approach significantly minimizes the risk of non-compliance during tax audits or reconciliations.
