1 Where Can This Script Be Used?
This demo script has been written for usage with the SAP S/4HANA 2025 SP00 Fully-Activated Appliance (in short “appliance” in
this script), hence you will need such an appliance to make use of this guide.
The appliance can be brought up in two ways, and the demo scenario in this script is largely the same for both:
1. Via SAP Cloud Appliance Library (hosted on cloud providers)
You need a cloud provider account at AWS, MS Azure, or GCP. With this, you can deploy the appliance within 1-2 hours from
https://cal.sap.com > Solutions > SAP S/4HANA <Your Release> Fully-Activated Appliance.
2. Via installing it on your own on-premise hardware.
You need to provide your own hardware, and order & install the appliance as explained in SAP Note 2041140.
If you are new to the SAP S/4HANA Fully-Activated Appliance, introductory information can be found here:
https://blogs.sap.com/2018/12/12/sap-s4hana-fully-activated-appliance-create-your-sap-s4hana-1909-system-in-a-fraction-of-
the-usual-setup-time/
Important:
Before you start your demo, please read SAP S/4HANA Fully-Activated Appliance: Demo Scripts for information about necessary
preparations, especially any post-deployment steps to ensure the full functionality of your appliance. These steps are covered in
sections;
B) General Remarks
C) Post-deployment Steps
D) Log-on to the system
Besides this, you will also find links to all demo scripts on this page.
1.1 Passwords for the pre-configured demo users
Please contact your company’s system administrator for your company-specific demo user passwords. Demo users provided in
the appliance which are used for the Demo Scripts were delivered with the password “Welcome1”, however SAP recommends
changing these.
If you experience user/logon issues, please contact your team’s SAP S/4HANA Appliance system administrator.

2 Demo Story: Plan to Produce Using Advanced
Planning for Capacity Utilization
This demo story describes the end-to-end scenario for planning and producing a finished product using both raw materials as well
as semi-finished goods. The focus is set on the advanced capabilities of the “Monitor Capacity Utilization” app which helps a
planner to monitor, plan and correct any capacity overload issues.
Note:
Depending on the release / feature package stack (FPS) that you are using, the screens might look a bit different due to different
Fiori themes used. You can toggle the Fiori themes under User profile → Settings.
2.1 Preliminary Steps
2.1.1 Post Initial Stock
In a real business case, the raw materials or the semi-finished products can be purchased from external vendors; in that case, that
process is covered by the standard purchasing or subcontracting processes. In this demo story, for all raw materials (RM20 and
RM124), initial stock is posted using movement type 501.
