Purpose

The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create in S/4 HANA.


Conversion Scope

Material Master - PPDS Views are now used to make some of the Planning activities in both systems (PF2 & WP2). Most of the materials used in the planning process have these views updated, as they contain relevant information about the planning process. The aim is to get the conversion into S4 HANA in a standard way, so it can be used in the new planning processes already defined by the functional team and validated with the business.

While PF2 and WP2 serve as source systems, extensive mapping and transformation logic will be necessary to produce properly formatted load templates in line with the target design. As this is a new view a complete new DCT will be needed, as NO migration data on Scope.

We need to create a NEW Layout to fill in for the new data per material / Plant combination

The data from legacy system may include:

  1. As per materials, the rule for this view will follow the rules for the CNV-2019 CNV-2019 Materials - Basic Data View 

  2. Additional to this, the following criteria needs to be followed to create the view: All Direct materials as MRP type X0, will need to have PPDS view and the data to complete the design process in Syensqo.
  3. All ZMAT materials and Z700 will be called in S4HANA ZDIR. These material types will be the ones to have PPDS View. 

The data from legacy system excludes:

  1. All materials flagged for deletion
  2. Any blocked or obsolete materials
  3. Any inactive materials that are out of scope



The data from legacy system includes:

  1. PF2 (ROW & CN)
  2. WP2 (ROW & CN)

The data from legacy system excludes:

  1. This Conversion Specification does not include the WPX system (CUI Objects).

Conversion Process

The high-level process is represented by the diagram below:


Data Privacy and Sensitivity


Extraction

Extract data from a source into . There are 2 possibilities:

  1. The data exists. connects to the source and loads the data into . There are 3 methods:
    1. Perform full data extraction from relevant tables in the source system(s).
    2. Perform extraction through the application layer.
    3. Only if ; cannot connect to the source, data is loaded to the repository from the provided source system extract/report.
  2. The data does not exist (or cannot be converted from its current state). The data is manually collected by the business directly in . This is to be conducted using DCT (Data Collection Template) in

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)

DCT Rules

Field NameField DescriptionRule / Tooltip
MATNRMaterial NumberNumber ID that identifies a material in the system
WERKSPlant IDNumber ID that identifies a organizational unit where manufacturing activities are carried out
MEINSUnit of measure in which stock of the material is managed.Base Unit of Measure
PPSKZIndicator for Advanced PlanningSupports advanced live Cache-based planning and scheduling. Only an X is a valid value.
SCM_PRIOPriority of ProductThe system can derive the priority of the order from the priority of the product. Is required. Value is defined by the Business
SCM_RRP_TYPEPP Planning Procedure

Defines for each planning-relevant event that can occur for a location product, which action is executed by Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) in SAP S/4 HANA if this event occurs.

Value 2 or 4 are valid

SCM_RRP_SEL_GROUPPlanning GroupThe planning group is used as a selection criterion with which you can restrict the selection of products to be planned in the production planning run
SCM_PEG_FUTURE_ALERTAlert threshold for early receiptsThe system creates a date/time alert for a fixed or a dynamic pegging relationship if the earliness exceeds the alert threshold. No value is defined as standard.
SCM_PEG_PAST_ALERTAlert Threshold for LatenessThe system creates a date/time alert for a fixed or a dynamic pegging relationship, if the delay exceeds the alert threshold. No value is defined as standard.
SCM_GET_ALERTSProduct AlertsThe system determines direct alerts for a requirement or a receipt of a product and The product is relevant to network alerts
If a product is relevant to network alerts, the system evaluates the direct alerts that it determines for this product for receipts or requirements at the superordinate levels of the pegging structure as well.

Transformation

The Target fields are mapped to the applicable Legacy field that will be its source, this is a 3-way activity involving the Business, Functional team and Data team. This identifies the transformation activity required to allow to make the data Target ready:

  1. Perform value mapping and data transformation rules.
    1. Legacy values are mapped to the to-be values (this could include a default value)
    2. Values are transformed according to the rules defined in
  2. Prepare target-ready data in the structure and format that is required for loading via prescribed Load Tool. This step also produces the load data ready for business to perform Pre-load Data Validation

Pre-Load Validation

Project Team

Completeness

TaskAction
Business Validates the load fileSend the Load file to the Business Representatives for all plants, so the can validate the data
Mock 1 test needs to happen before1st Mock load (manual) can occur first and before the load can occur
Count before and afterReview the items as count before the load in the Transformation files and check it after

Accuracy

TaskAction
Record ErrorsReview 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 data.

Business

Completeness

TaskAction
To check Data Accuracy checking count of records to load and loadedBusiness Data Owner/s to verify that the total number of relevant records from the the DCT is equal to the total number of records in the Preload and Load Sheets.
Count before and afterReview the items as count before the load in the Transformation files and check it after



Accuracy

TaskAction
Data owners to grant that the records in the load files are okay and according with the rules and mappingsTo check and validate the load files with all the transformation and mapping rules, to be signed off.





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

Load Run Sheet

Item #Step DescriptionTeam Responsible
1Go to load file and pick 5 data registers, load manually without any tool. See what happens. If all okay, proceed with the next step.MFG Data Team
2Go to load file and pick 10 records and load them with the tool. No action if the previous step has fallen. If not, then continue to load 10 records with the tool. Check if everything went okay.MFG Data Team
3Proceed with the full load if steps one and two were succeed. MFG Data Team
4Validate few records loaded by accessing standard transactions from S/4HNA eg. MM03MFG Data Team
