# SAP S/4HANA

SAP S/4HANA is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) software package that helps businesses manage their day-to-day processes and core capabilities.

The Advanced Identity Cloud SAP S/4HANA application lets you provision and reconcile business users between SAP S/4HANA and Advanced Identity Cloud.
