It will mean you will have to extend the soil pipe with the use of elbows and of course 110 mm pipe.
You will however have this on show but is quite straightforward to do.
Suggest you visit your local plumbers merchants who will advise you as to what fittings will be needed.

OK!
The soil pipe comes up out of the floor, so there will be a female mating piece with a 90° bend to bring the pipe horizontal, followed by a stright piece to bring it to the location of the new pan then another bend to enter the new pan (not purchased yet so fitting unknown).
how's that???

When bedding the pan onto the concrete floor my advice is not to use a sand/cement mix. I've seen a lot of pans cracked because of the stresses set up. I use finish plaster, but I expect others will post on their preferred bedding method.
Yes tile first. or it looks awful! I've never used pies of anything like mortar to fix a pan, I just use proper bolts designed for the purpose - which may or may not come with it.
The tiles need 100% fixative bed under them , and to be dead level and flat. I'd drill oversize holes in the tiles cos you aren't trying to get the bolts gripping those. (Sorry - its easy when you have diamond drills of all sizes). If you don't fancy doing bolts up tight, or if you don't want to use them at all, silicone will hold the pan in place.
I use posh bolts (they fill the holes anyway!) but not do them toooo tight, and 3 - 4 small dabs of silicone which are placed so you can slit through them if its necessary to remove the pan later.
