Purpose

The purpose of this document is to define the approach for the maintenance of master data supporting drop-down lists for PPM custom fields.


Conversion Scope

The scope of this document covers the approach applicable to Project  drop-down lists supporting PPM bucket/item custom fields which are created in S/4 HANA following the Project Scoring and Other dropdowns Master Data Design Standard.  

The drop-down lists define the allowable values to be entered in the relevant custom fields on a PPM Item or Bucket. 

This is a completely new object for Syensqo with the data being sourced using DCT (Data Collection Template).

Data Privacy and Sensitivity

Not applicable


Extraction

The data does not exist (or cannot be converted from its current state).  The data is manually collected by the business directly in Syniti Migrate. This is to be conducted using DCT (Data Collection Template) in Syniti Migrate

The agreed Relevancy criteria is applied to the extracted records to identify the records that are applicable for the Target loads

Data Collection Template (DCT)

Target Ready Data Collection Template will be created for Project Scoring and Other dropdowns data with exception of some fields which require transformation as mentioned in the transformation rule.

Project Scoring and Other dropdowns DCT Rules.

Field NameField DescriptionRule
BU_DMN_CDBusiness Unit/Domain CodeUnique code assigned to table entry
BU_DMN_DESCBusiness Unit/Domain DescriptionBusiness Unit or Domain - a reporting attribute assigned to PPM Items; an organizational unit within GBU/ Function which owns the project.
ACTIVEActiveActive Flag - if set, the record does not appear in the drop-down list for the field

Extraction Dependencies

No Dependencies for Extract

Pre-Load Validation

Project Team

Completeness

TaskAction

Verify Record Count

SyWay I2M Data Team to verify that the total number of relevant records from the DCT is equal to the total number of records in the Preload and Load Sheets.


Accuracy

TaskAction

Conversion Accuracy

SyWay I2M Data Team to verify that all fields below meet pass the checks:

  1. Mandatory Fields
  2. Field and Value Mapping Correctness
  3. Null Checks
  4. Text Length Checks

Review Error Reports

Review and correct the errors.  Achieve a zero-error record count as much as possible. Raise defects for data remediated and requiring a correction in the source (DCT) data.

Business

Completeness

TaskAction

Verify Record Count

Business Data Owner/s to verify that the total number of relevant records from the DCT is equal to the total number of records in the Preload and Load Sheets.

Accuracy

TaskAction

Conversion Accuracy

Business Data Owner/s to verify that all the data in the load table/file is accurate as per endorsed transformation/mapping rules (and signed-off DCT data).


Load

The load process includes:

  1. Execute the automated data load into target system using load tool or product the load file if the load must be done manually
  2. Once the data is loaded to the target system, it will be extracted and prepared for Post Load Data Validation
  3. Migration load to be done to ROW instance with replication to other S/4 Hana instances via interface (API) to the China and CUI instance. To be included in cut-over strategy document.

Key Assumptions

  • Master Data Standard is up to date as on the date of documenting this conversion approach and data load.
  • Project Scoring and Other dropdowns is in scope based on data design and any exception requested by business.
