1.Overview

This page gives an overview of all the enterprise structure objects in Syensqo. 

2.Enterprise Structure Objects Numbering

Numbering Rules

Overview

Currently, there are varied and disjointed numbering rules across multiple enterprise structure objects within the two existing ECC/SAP systems. This inconsistency poses a significant challenge when migrating to the S/4HANA system, as the differing number ranges and numbering rules in each of these systems complicate the use of consistent numbering. The migration process becomes cumbersome due to the need to reconcile these discrepancies and ensure that the new system maintains data integrity and coherence. However, with the ERP Rebuild Hub program, there is an opportunity to align and standardize the enterprise structure definition and numbering. This program can facilitate the harmonization of number ranges and rules, making the transition to S/4HANA smoother and more efficient. Standardization not only addresses the immediate challenges of migration but also simplifies future system maintenance and scalability, promoting overall operational efficiency and ensuring that all enterprise structure objects are accurately and uniformly numbered in the new environment.

Recommendation 

Align and standardize the enterprise structure definition and numbering (old numbers will be referenced for searching purposes). A list of the enterprise structure numbering rules can be found here

Impact

One time mapping / cleansing required in upstream / downstream systems/applications that use the old enterprise structure
