Ever wondered when you configure SAP Commerce Cloud Cloud ERP edition in SAP4Me to connect to SAP S/4 HANA Cloud ERP ,how it is actually done ?
I encountered this thought when I was watching a video while learning the course https://learning.sap.com/courses/positioning-sap-commerce-cloud-cloud-erp-edition/showcasing-the-end…
S/4HANA Cloud Provisioning: When the IT Contact provisions the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition landscape from SAP for Me, an SAP Cloud Identity Services tenant is automatically provisioned as part of the bundle (or reused if one already exists). The S/4HANA Cloud system is connected to this Cloud Identity Services tenant automatically — you don't manually “create a system and tie it in.” SAP Cloud Identity Services is described as the only access control tool that can grant access to the environment.
Step 2 — Commerce Cloud, Cloud ERP Edition Provisioning: When you later provision SAP Commerce Cloud, Cloud ERP Edition, a key prerequisite is that SAP Cloud Identity Services must already be set up for your SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition tenant. During the Commerce Cloud provisioning in SAP for Me, that same already-established Cloud Identity Services tenant is referenced — meaning the Cloud ERP identity context flows in through the pre-existing tenant, not as a new separate configuration.
In summary:
Step | What Happens |
Step 1 | S/4HANA Cloud provisioned → Cloud Identity Services tenant auto-provisioned (or reused) and linked to S/4HANA automatically |
Step 2 | SAP Commerce Cloud, Cloud ERP Edition provisioned → same Cloud Identity Services tenant (already tied to S/4HANA/Cloud ERP) is referenced as a prerequisite |
