Purpose
The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach of Profit Centres into S/4 HANA.
Profit Centres will be constructed based on the target design and a DCT(Constructed data based on Data Collection Template) will be provided to Syniti for subsequent processing. Along with the DCT, a mapping file of legacy(ECC) to target(S4) will be provided for dependent master and transaction objects.
Conversion Scope
Profit Centres which will be listed as part of scope list with new numbering will be in scope of migration.
Note: All the Profit Centres to be migrated will be collected. Therefore, Profit Centres are not going to be extracted from source and details given below is given for information purpose only.
| Source | Scope | Source Approx No. of Records | Target System | Target Approx No. of Records |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PF2 | Profit Centre | 6,423 | S4HANA | TBD |
| WP2 | Profit Centre | 5,768 | S4HANA | TBD |
Additional Information
Multi-language Requirement
In the Syensqo Profit Centres, the following four language keys must be maintained:
- English (EN)
- French (FR)
- Italian (IT)
- Chinese (ZN)
Note: For certain countries it may be required to also maintain account descriptions for certain Profit Centres in local language as per regulatory requirement (e.g. Japanese) in the respective country. Such requests must be backed by supporting evidence of the underlying regulatory requirement.
Such data will be collected as part of DCT for the translation texts for Profit Centres.

Data Collection Template (DCT)
Target Ready Data Collection Template will be created for data with exception of some fields which require transformation as mentioned in the transformation rule.DCT Rules and will be used by the data collectors.
Note: Constructed data will be imported into ADM Data Construction page.
There will be two pages -
1. Main page to contain the Profit Centre details with EN Language key Description
2. Detailed Page will contain descriptions in various languages as they are collected.

Transformation
The Target fields are mapped to the applicable DCT field that will be its source.
Note: as this object is DCT, the mapping rule for all the fields is 'Copy' as described in the transform rule section. However, some reports are to be created and executed to ensure integrity in the data collected in DCT as described in 'Pre-load Data Validation' section.
This step identifies the transformation activity required to allow to make the data Target ready:
- Prepare target-ready data in the target structure and format that is required for loading via prescribed Load Tool in the load section.
- Produce the preload reports as requested in the 'Preload Data Validation' section.

Load
Loading will be done through migration cockpit and therefore, data from the transformation export view to be exported into the load file format.
export views to be prepared based on the field list from the load template attached.
The load process includes:
- Execute the automated data load into target system using load tool or produce the load file if the loading of records to be done using LTMC cockpit object of Profit Centre.
- Once the data is loaded to the target system, it will be extracted and prepared for Post Load Data Validation with side by side check of each fields in scope of the objects with fields to be displayed as XXXX_DCT, XXXX_S4HANA, XXXX_MATCH ( As TRUE or FALSE) with an additional column denoting fields not matching and status of loading in S/4HANA as LOADED_IN_S4HANA ( As TRUE or FALSE)
Additional export view for the descriptions in additional languages to be created as is from detail page DCT
Note: Description translation will be loaded using tcode SE63. LSMW will be created based on the tcode SE63 to enable mass upload of this data. However, further checks will be done to check if some Fiori App could be used for uploading.
