SAP S/4HANA implementation for US groups

Finance, supply chain and manufacturing on S/4HANA, with a signed blueprint that records your state tax and entity decisions first.

US rules to settle before the blueprint

  • South Dakota v. Wayfair (June 21, 2018)

    Streamlined Sales Tax Governing Board Verified 2026-11-06

    Per the Streamlined Sales Tax Governing Board, the US Supreme Court ruled on June 21, 2018 that states can require sellers to collect and remit sales or use tax on sales delivered to locations in the state, regardless of physical presence.

  • Economic nexus thresholds differ by state

    Streamlined Sales Tax Governing Board Verified 2026-11-06

    Many states require remote sellers to collect sales tax once sales and/or transactions pass a state threshold. Some states use sales OR transactions, others sales AND transactions, and the base may be gross sales, gross revenues, retail sales or taxable sales.

  • Form 1099-NEC reporting threshold

    Internal Revenue Service Verified 2026-11-06

    File Form 1099-NEC for each person paid at least $2,000 in the course of business for services by someone who is not an employee, including attorney fees. The $2,000 level applies for tax years beginning after 2025 and may be inflation-adjusted from 2027.

  • US dollar reporting and foreign currency translation

    Internal Revenue Service Verified 2026-11-06

    Amounts on a US tax return must be in US dollars, so foreign currency income and expenses are translated. The dollar is the functional currency for all taxpayers except some qualified business units, and items are translated at the rate when received, paid or accrued.

S/4HANA in a US group

Finance and controlling for groups

FI/CO gives real-time accounting, cost centres, profitability analysis and group consolidation. For a US parent with subsidiaries, we design company codes and currencies in the blueprint before any configuration starts.

  • Company codes agreed with your controller
  • USD group reporting design

Multi-country projects

Our SAP projects can span several countries, with country-specific tax, e-invoicing and statutory reporting in scope. US state sales tax is a blueprint item, decided with your tax adviser.

  • Tax decisions recorded in the signed blueprint
  • Statutory reporting by country

SAP Activate with a signed blueprint

Every project follows SAP Activate. The business blueprint is signed before configuration begins, then comes hyper-care and ongoing AMC support.

  • Blueprint sign-off before configuration
  • Hyper-care after go-live

Licences stay with SAP

We do not sell SAP licences. We implement S/4HANA so that you get full value from day one, and we recommend cloud or on-premise on regulatory needs, customisation and total cost.

  • Licence conversation with SAP directly
  • Cloud or on-premise recommendation in writing

US-specific blueprint topics

  • Sales and use tax design

    State list, registrations and tax determination decisions recorded in the blueprint.

  • Vendor master and 1099

    Taxpayer identification and payment category fields agreed for the vendor master.

  • Entities and currency

    Company codes, currencies and USD reporting for the group.

  • ECC migration

    Brownfield or greenfield, decided on history, technical debt and timeline.

  • Data migration

    Master data extracted, cleaned and validated before go-live.

  • Support and AMC

    Same-day hyper-care, then a support plan agreed with your team.

SAP questions from US buyers

Does SAP S/4HANA suit a US group with several subsidiaries?

S/4HANA Finance and Controlling covers real-time accounting and group consolidation, and projects can span several countries. Fit depends on size, industry and budget, so we start with an assessment and a blueprint before recommending scope.

Who decides how US sales tax is handled in the design?

Your finance team and tax adviser decide, and we record the decision in the signed blueprint. Official sources summarised on this page are for information only and were checked against the official source on 6 November 2026.

Do you sell SAP licences?

No. We do not sell SAP licences. We implement S/4HANA, cover Finance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing and Distribution consultants, and support the system afterwards through hyper-care and an AMC if you want one.
