Purpose
The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create Material Master- Additional Data in S/4 HANA.
Conversion Scope
The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active Materials - Additional Data from Legacy Source Systems into S/4HANA following the Materials Master Data Design Standard.
From the current system landscape, Material data exists separately in the legacy systems (PF2 and WP2), with potential discrepancies in both organizations. Harmonization and validation are required to ensure accurate and consolidated data in S/4HANA. 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.
Relevancy Rules
This object is migrated after Material Basic Data, therefore only materials in scope for object '2019 - Materials Basic Data View' are in scope for this object.

| MEAN | MEINH | UNIT | 3 | Alternative Unit of Measure | mandatory for sheet | There are multiple situations in which Alternative UOM should be maintained as list below - 1.) For product compliance (SVT, DG quantity limit checks) and Sustainability (CSRD reporting), Sustainability team should be able to derive mass units for any product in our scope (based on compliance relevant indicators). It means the needed conversion will be available in the product master for products not created in mass units" Alternate UoM maintained in the material master for the materials (marked as compliance relevant) so the system is able to convert to mass units and utilize it for the compliance assessment checks in S2S. 2.) For Material type = ZDIR(Direct materials - diluted chemical product), % concentration is specified as alternative UOM where Alt Un = KAI(Kilogram Active ingredient and the relevant conversion to Base unit KG will be maintained. eg: Sulphuric acid 98% concentrate will be maintained as 100 KG will be 98 KAI. 2.) Alternative units of measure can also be defined to identify packages or lager containers for smaller units of measure such as cartons, boxes, bottles, barrels, pallets (storage unit types) and so on. A material can be stored, transported and sold in various units of measure. However, you only need to maintain the fields of the units of measure if they deviate from the base unit of measure. If no other fields with units of measure are maintained, the system automatically takes the base unit of measure as a basis for its calculations. | ||
| MEAN | HPEAN | CHAR | 1 | Main Indicator (EAN) | Conditional | Specifies that the International Article Number (EAN) is the main EAN for the unit of measure. If there are several EANs for each unit of measure, one of them should be marked as the main EAN.This will default to 'X' for the current migration Not Applicable for ZSER materials. | ||

This allows for standardized identification of chemical materials and finished goods across different countries and trading partners.This enables the system to identify specific items, even across various suppliers and purchase orders, and provides the data needed for point-of-sale and warehouse operations. A standardized unit that uniquely identifies a material relating to a unit of measure or type of packaging. The International Article Number (EAN) is assigned by the manufacturer of the material. In this case, the EAN identifies the manufacturer uniquely. The equivalent of the EAN in America is the Universal Product Code (UPC). Maintain EAN/UPC No available from the manufacturer and migrate if values exist in legacy. Any EAN currently in the system has to be either 8,12,13,14 digits long (as per GS1 standards) Not applicable for ZSER Materials. |

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 Syniti ADMM to make the data Target ready:
- Perform value mapping and data transformation rules.
- Legacy values are mapped to the to-be values (this could include a default value)
- Values are transformed according to the rules defined in Syniti ADMM
- 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
- Use the Informal Words list to properly exclude records based on it's description (MAKT-MAKTX)
- List can be encountered here
