Project is a multiyear Trading & Supply (T&S) Finance and ERP transformation programme. Its core purpose is to modernise the end to end Finance, Risk and ERP landscape for Trading, replacing ageing and fragmented systems with a clean core S/4HANA based architecture, supported by fit for purpose capabilities where required.
The programme responds to a structural problem: while T&S has grown significantly in scale and complexity, its legacy Trading ERP (P80/P81, TSAP/STN) and surrounding PDS ecosystem have not evolved at the same pace. This has resulted in:
• Highly customised and brittle ETRM-ERP integrations
• Inconsistent end to end processes across lines of business
• Manual workarounds and reconciliation effort
• Limited data governance and scalability risk
The Project provides the platform for Trading and Supply to transition to S/4HANA, aligned with the group’s direction to move all businesses to a single ERP by 2030, while addressing Trading specific requirements that are not fully covered by standard Group S/4 designs.
At its core, the programme aims to:
• Establish a clean core S/4HANA implementation for Trading
• Reduce technical debt and customisation in the ERP landscape
• Enable more frequent, accurate and actionable financial insight
• Improve data integrity, controls, and auditability
• Lower operational risk and cost to serve
• Create a scalable foundation that can support future Trading growth and innovation
