See how Illumina Technology uses SAP Transportation Management and SAP Business Network for Logistics to automate logistics for time-critical diagnostics.

Illumina Technology’s mission is to improve human health by unlocking the power of the genome. Its genomic sequencing technology supports breakthroughs in rare disease diagnosis, oncology treatment, and clinical research. But for that mission to succeed, temperature-sensitive products must reach hospitals and laboratories on time.

To move away from fragmented, manual, email-based transportation planning, Illumina Technology implemented SAP Transportation Management and SAP Business Network for Logistics. With tighter integration across SAP systems, the company can improve transportation visibility, automate carrier coordination, and support data-driven decisions across its logistics operations.

Today, Illumina Technology has onboarded 15 to 20 bulk carriers through SAP Business Network, enabling carriers to validate booking details and send confirmations electronically. With a more integrated foundation, Illumina Technology can better manage customer demand, reduce manual bottlenecks, and support the reliable delivery of products where delays of hours or days can have a real human impact.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 2608 brings new Two-Tier ERP innovations to help organizations strengthen collaboration between headquarters and subsidiaries, streamline cross-tier processes, and improve decision-making across distributed ERP landscapes.

In this release highlights video, Chandrashekhar introduces the latest Two-Tier ERP updates delivered with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 2608. See how SAP Joule, AI-assisted planning, cross-system available-to-promise checks, and enhanced warehouse integration can help organizations reduce manual effort, improve operational transparency, and connect business processes across headquarters and subsidiaries.

You’ll see how Joule-powered cross-system ATP check and order execution helps sales teams respond faster when local stock is not sufficient. In the example, a subsidiary receives an order for 300 EV batteries but has only 100 units available to promise. Joule checks local availability, then checks available stock at headquarters running SAP Cloud ERP Private, confirms the remaining quantity and expected delivery date, and can trigger creation of a purchase order for fulfillment.

The video also introduces AI-assisted visibility for Predictive Material and Resource Planning across tiers. Planners can use natural language to ask Joule how much supply headquarters can commit for upcoming planning periods. Joule retrieves flexible material constraints from headquarters, compares them with supplier constraints at the subsidiary, and can update or create supplier constraints where needed. This helps keep planning data aligned across systems and reduces manual coordination.

Finally, Chandrashekhar highlights warehouse integration with decentralized Extended Warehouse Management and integrated quality inspection. Inbound deliveries can be distributed to decentralized EWM for warehouse execution, directed to quality inspection when required, and tracked through the Warehouse Management Monitor and Quality Work Center. This supports controlled inbound processing, inventory visibility, and collaboration between ERP, EWM, and Quality Management.

Highlights include:
🤖 Joule-powered cross-system ATP check — Check stock availability across subsidiaries and headquarters in one guided, conversational experience.

📦 Automated order execution — Confirm available quantity, expected delivery date, and trigger purchase order creation for fulfillment from headquarters.

📊 AI-assisted material and resource planning — Use natural language to retrieve, compare, and synchronize planning constraints across tiers.

🔄 Supplier constraint synchronization — Update existing supplier constraints or create new constraints for planning periods where data is missing at the subsidiary.

🏭 Decentralized EWM integration — Support warehouse execution across a two-tier landscape with inbound delivery distribution and warehouse task creation.

✅ Integrated quality inspection — Direct relevant stock to quality inspection, record inspection results, trigger follow-up actions, and view resulting stock status.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 2608 brings new SAP Subscription Billing innovations to help organizations manage subscription-based business models, support recurring revenue streams, simplify implementation, and give finance teams greater visibility into contract accounting data.

In this release highlights video, the AI version of Greg Hutcheon from SAP Cloud ERP and SCM Product Success Enablement introduces the latest SAP Subscription Billing updates delivered with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 2608. See how new capabilities for subscription ramps, SAP-managed provisioning and integration, and general ledger item visibility in Contract Accounting can help companies improve efficiency, scalability, and control across subscription-based businesses.

You’ll see how Subscription Ramps help organizations manage evolving B2B subscription contracts. Businesses can define up to 10 ramp periods directly on a subscription at the point of creation, with independent configuration for quantities, prices, discounts, rate plans, and products. Ramp periods can be defined by calendar duration or exact date, and the ramp data feeds into billing forecasts, helping revenue recognition reflect planned contract evolution from day one.

The video also introduces SAP-managed provisioning and integration for SAP Subscription Billing. With guided setup through SAP for Me, SAP provisions and monitors infrastructure such as Master Data Integration, SAP Event Hub, and SAP BTP formations. This helps reduce setup complexity, lower implementation risk, and support a faster path to value by reducing the need for lengthy infrastructure projects.

Finally, Greg highlights the new analytical app for Display of General Ledger Items in Contract Accounting. Finance and accounting teams can access general ledger line items with filters such as period, GL account, company code, profit center, cost center, and segment. The app also supports grouping and drill-down, helping accountants validate financial data more efficiently and gain visibility into posting amounts before transfer to the General Ledger.

Highlights include:
📈 Subscription Ramps — Define up to 10 ramp periods on a subscription to model evolving B2B contracts with changing quantities, prices, discounts, rate plans, or products.

📊 Billing forecast integration — Reflect planned contract evolution in billing forecasts and revenue recognition from day one.

⚡ SAP-managed provisioning and integration — Set up SAP Subscription Billing infrastructure through a guided SAP for Me wizard in just a few clicks.

☁️ Reduced implementation complexity — SAP provisions, operates, and monitors infrastructure such as Master Data Integration, SAP Event Hub, and SAP BTP formations.

💰 Display of General Ledger Items in Contract Accounting — Give finance teams direct access to general ledger line items behind contract accounting postings.

🔎 Flexible accounting analysis — Filter, group, and drill down by period, GL account, company code, profit center, cost center, segment, and more.

See how Generative AI Hub helps organizations move from AI experimentation to real business impact.

Generative AI can create powerful opportunities, but scaling it across the enterprise requires the right foundation. Teams need centralized model access, built-in governance, secure development tools, and a clear path from experimentation to production.

Generative AI Hub brings AI development into one enterprise-ready platform, with centralized access to SAP and partner foundation models, orchestration, governance, and administration. It provides a single entry point to explore ready-to-use multimodal AI models, agents, and predictive insight capabilities, pre-integrated, fully managed, and connected to SAP business context.

With a low-code playground, developers and teams can compare models, optimize prompts, and test use cases faster. Using one API, they can ground model outputs in enterprise data, orchestrate complex scenarios across applications, and maintain control over AI access, monitoring, security, and costs.

The result is a faster, more governed way to productize AI use cases and scale generative AI across the business.
