Precisely, the global leader in data integrity, today announced that Precisely Automate has earned SAP Clean Core Certification (Conditional, Level C) for SAP S/4HANA® Cloud Private Edition. This certification validates that the platform supports high-volume SAP data updates and processing while strictly adhering to SAP’s "Clean Core" principles—ensuring that the digital core remains unmodified and upgrade-safe.
Certification Status: Earned SAP Clean Core Certification (Conditional, Level C).
Target Environment: Specifically designed for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition and compatible with RISE with SAP.
Core Preservation: Enables mass data uploads and downloads (materials, pricing, financials) without introducing custom code into the SAP core.
Reduced Risk: Helps organizations avoid technical debt and ensures smoother quarterly upgrade cycles by maintaining a standardized system.
Market Demand: A recent Precisely and ASUG survey found that 57% of SAP users are adopting automation to assist their S/4HANA transition.
Business Empowerment: Allows business users to manage governed automation with built-in validation and auditability, reducing the burden on IT.
As enterprises migrate to SAP S/4HANA Cloud, the "Clean Core" strategy has shifted from a recommendation to a business-critical requirement. By keeping the core software close to standard and building extensions externally, organizations can adopt new SAP innovations and AI capabilities (like SAP Joule) without expensive re-testing cycles. Precisely Automate addresses this by providing a certified execution layer for the high-volume data processes that run day-to-day operations.
"This certification is especially relevant for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition customers who need to automate at scale but can't afford to introduce custom changes into the core," said Ashwin Ramachandran, SVP, Product Management at Precisely. "It draws a clear line around how organizations can continue running high‑volume SAP processes while staying within SAP's Clean Core guidelines."
Level C certification applies to classic ABAP-based extensions that are partially compliant but strictly governed to minimize upgrade risk. This status allows Precisely Automate to handle the complex, high-performance scenarios common in large-scale Private Edition deployments while protecting the customer's investment in SAP's cloud roadmap.
By enabling governed, business-led execution, Precisely helps ensure that data—the foundation of any AI or automation initiative—remains accurate, consistent, and "Agentic-Ready."
