Disruption surrounding the switch to German SAP's new ERP system, S/4HANA, has become apparent, affecting the financial results of companies including TOYO TIRE. An impact of ¥4.2 billion has been recognized at TOYO TIRE, while impacts on Kansai Paint and Yaskawa Electric have also been reported.
A succession of cases has been reported in which problems associated with the migration to SAP's new integrated enterprise resource planning system, S/4HANA, have affected companies' financial results.
TOYO TIRE is said to have potentially incurred an earnings impact of ¥4.2 billion in connection with its migration to S/4HANA, while impacts of ¥1.6 billion at Kansai Paint and ¥2.5 billion at Yaskawa Electric have been reported. Other companies, including Glico, have also been reported to have experienced similar integration problems. These issues are said to stem from the difficulty of integrating the ERP system with peripheral systems.
