SAP recommends several guiding principles to achieve clean core operations in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, focusing on standardization and minimal customizations. According to the SAP documentation:
* Define roles and responsibilities as part of a process transformation office (C): A process transformation office ensures clear ownership and governance for maintaining clean core standards.
* Establish release management (D): Release management ensures that system updates and extensions align with clean core principles, minimizing disruptions.
* Integrate clean core practices in the end-to-end value process chain (E): Embedding clean core practices across all business processes ensures consistency and adherence to standard SAP functionality.
The other options are incorrect:
* Establish an organizational structure, technical foundation, and transformation methodology (A) is important but not specifically listed as a clean core guiding principle in SAP's framework.
* Establish regular housekeeping tasks and procedures (B)is a general system maintenance practice, not a core clean core principle.
