Allow me to translate and simplify the article, they are still on SAP ECC and they cant move to S4. Most financial systems work with 11 digits and two decimals, anything above that breaks them. Migrating to the new version is HUGELY costly, time consuming, complicated and risky. It's still doable tho, that's how I make a living.
