Clean Core & BTP #

What is it? #

 The "clean core" approach in S/4HANA refers to keeping the ERP system as close to the standard SAP solution as possible - with minimal customizations. This approach aims to simplify upgrades, reduce maintenance efforts, and leverage SAP's continuous innovation. 

While targeting a clean core is beneficial, businesses often require customizations to meet their unique needs. This is where solutions like Neptune Software can play a crucial role in balancing standardization with necessary customizations.
