Here is a brief comparison between SAPB1 and SAP S/4 Hana. SAP B1 was not originally a SAP product it was a product developed by an Israel founder in 195 built only for MAC OS SAP bought it over in 2003, Whereas SAP S/4 Hana is natively built by SAP.
Scope and Complexity:
SAP B1: SAP Business One is designed for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and covers a broad range of business processes, including accounting, inventory management, and sales.
SAP S/4HANA: SAP S/4HANA is an enterprise-level solution designed for larger organizations, offering a more comprehensive suite of applications that include advanced analytics, industry-specific features, and support for complex business processes. It's strong in manufacturing, Service industry, government, and Oil & Gas industries.
Database Technology:
SAP B1: SAP B1 typically uses Microsoft SQL Server as its underlying database management system, but there is a new variant where you can use the HANA database with Business One.
SAP S/4HANA: SAP S/4HANA uses in-memory computing and the SAP HANA database, which enables real-time data processing, faster reporting, and advanced analytics capabilities. This technology shift is a major differentiator and provides significant performance advantages.
Scalability:
SAP B1: SAP B1 is not scalable for large organizations due to the complexity of the processes.
SAP S/4HANA: SAP S/4HANA is made for larger organizations which can cater to any complicated business processes.

We’ve also had clients spending nearly $3m on S/4HANA projects. I’d say B1 is more for mid-market, and S/4HANA is a tier one large company, Fortune 1000 size project. Now of course that’s super generalized from a small sample size - for what it’s worth.
SAP Business One and SAP S/4HANA operate within the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) category. For smaller businesses, SAP Business One offers a cost-effective option due to its competitive pricing and scalable features. In contrast, SAP S/4HANA may dominate among larger enterprises because of its robust capabilities and enhanced functionality, despite higher costs.Features: SAP Business One is valued for its flexibility in multi-currency transactions, financial management, and...
