Comment: Material Freight Group MARC-MFRGR is no longer needed

Purpose

The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create upload Materials - Purchasing View in into S/4 HANA as part of the Material Data Migration.

Link to MDS: DD-FUN-050 Master Data Standard_2020-Material master-Purchasing data


Conversion Scope

The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active Materials - Purchasing View 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

  1. All materials created in the previous 6 months will be included unless flagged for deletion
  2. These include Material Types ZUNB, ZBOM, ZPRC regardless of activity (unless flagged for deletion)
  3. We will only include materials that are extended to the following (excluding ZPRC material type as these do not require plant extension):
    1. Company Codes in scope
    2. Plants in scope
    3. Purchasing Orgs in scope
    4. Sales Orgs in scope
  4. Include only Material Types in scope
  5. We will include for migration all materials that have activity over the previous 3 years, to include:
    1. For procurement data use EKKO/EKPO tables
    2. For sales data use VBAK/VBAP tables
    3. For production data use AFKO/AFPO tables
  6. We will include for migration all materials that have open documents including the following:
    1. Open PO
    2. Open contracts
    3. Open STO
    4. Open SO
    5. Open WO
  7. Have current stock - refer to MARD table
  8. We will include all BOM data for materials in scope using tables: MAST/STKO/STPO
  9. Materials with Deletion Flags will be excluded unless appearing in the following open transactions:
    1. Open PO
    2. Open contracts
    3. Open STO
    4. Open SO
    5. Open WO
  10. Deletion Flags (Table/Field) are as follows: MARA/LVORM = 'X' MARA/MSTAE = Z3, Z4, ZZ (PF2 system) Z0 (WP2 system)
  11. Materials with the word 'OBSOLETE' or 'DELETED' contained within the Short Description will be excluded. Also excluded are Materials where Short Description contains '**OBS', '**OBS**', '**OBS***', '*OBS*', '*OBS**', '***OBS***'

The Material Master Records will be extracted/collected via DCT. An initial extract of the relevant data will be provided in Google Sheet format to assist business in decision making on including any relevant data from Source Systems.

Any additional data that need to be created to support the new design may be added in the DCT.

A data review and standardization will be done across all Info Records in the DCT.

This object is migrated after Material Basic Data and Material General Plant, therefore only materials in scope for the object "2019 - Materials Basic Data View" and have Plants in scope as per the object "2010 - Materials - General Plant Data / S.Loc Data", are in scope for this object.  Click here to go to the Conversion Spec for 2019 to see the full set of relevancy rules.  Furthermore, as per the MDS for 2019, materials with certain Material Types will not be extended to the Purchasing View, while all other Material Types will be.  Currently the Material Type not extended is the To-Be Material Type ZBAS, but this may change.  Therefore this MDS must be reviewed for changes to this rule as part of the preparation of a Syniti ADMM Transform run.

As an additional relevancy requirement Plant Extensions where MARC-MMSTA = Z0 for WP2 and either Z4 or ZZ for PF2 must be excluded from the migration.  Note that the existing rule of excluding a Plant Extension where MARC-LVORM = 'X' still applies.


The Service Master will be loaded as Materials in the Target.  The relevancy rules for this are also covered in the object "2019 - Materials Basic Data View".

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

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

Extraction

The source for Purchasing data for Materials is PF2 & WP2.  This will be extracted by Syniti and the Relevancy criteria, as specified in object "2019 - Materials Basic Data View" and Material Type relevant to the Purchasing View, applied to identify the records that are applicable for the Target load.

There is no source for Purchasing data for Services, therefore this data will be extracted by Syniti from a DCT (see below in the DCT section for more details).

Business team to verify that the data staged in the preload tables are correct in terms of the mapping rules. This will be done via Syniti ADMM reports/SAP reports.


Load

The load process includes:

  1. Execute the automated data load into target system using the appropriate load tool.
  2. Once the data is loaded into the target system, it will be extracted and prepared for Post Load Data Validation.

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

TaskAction

Verify Count

SyWay S2P Data Team to verify the record count created in target S/4 HANA by accessing post load reports in dspMigrate or standard reports from S/4 HANA.


Accuracy

TaskAction

Verify Logs

Check if there is data that failed to load and perform the necessary actions (e.g. register as post load issue or attempt to load the record again, etc.).


Business

Completeness

TaskAction

Verify Count

The number of records presented in the preload needs to be compared to the post-load Syniti report.

Missing data

Check missing data which was supposed to be loaded.

Reconciliation

Participate in Post-load walkthroughs.

Field by field check

Perform random Field by Field checks by comparing source data staged in the preload tables to target data in the load tablesDownload Post Load Reports from dspMigrate and verify that the record count loaded in the target S/4 HANA is the same count as of the endorsed load file.


Accuracy

TaskAction

Conversion Accuracy

Verify that the Material data in target S/4 HANA were was loaded correctly via dspMigrate Syniti post-load reports or standard reports from S/4 HANA.


Key Assumptions

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