What is Simplification Item?
A documented change in S/4HANA, such as a removed function or new data model, that may require action during conversion.
Each item is described in SAP Notes and checked by the Simplification Item Check framework. Items range from mandatory changes like Business Partner to optional adoption. Each relevant item should map to test cases.
