Purpose
The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to migrate AP open items without special GL indicator (normal items) in S/4 HANA.
AP open items are related to vendor line items that have not been cleared and remains as open status during migration cut-off date. Vendors comprise of the following types :
- 3rd party vendors
- Intercompany vendors
- Employees
- Others
- One time vendor should be excluded and not supported
Conversion Scope
The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active AP open items from Legacy Source Systems into S/4HANA following the AP open items Master Data Design Standard.
The data from legacy system are as follows :
- All open items with no special GL indicator (normal items) at migration cutoff date (Posting date <= migration cutoff date)
- All normal items posted before migration cutoff date but cleared after migration cutoff date (clearing date > migration cutoff date and posting date <= migration cutoff date)
The data from legacy system excludes the following, which do not contribute to financial balances :
- Parked item
- Noted item
- Attachments / notes
| Source | Scope | Source Approx No. of Records | Target System | Target Approx No. of Records |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PF2 | AP open item | 7000 | S4 | 7000 |
| WP2 | AP open item | 16000 | S4 | 16000 |
| PI2 | AP open item | 5000 | S4 | 5000 |
Amounts in legacy involve document currency, local currency and group currency. All currencies will be loaded accordingly unless there is a change in company design where local / group currency changes. Rates are as per the historical postings unless specific requirement calls for a fixed rate eg. group currency rate for consolidation purposes. Offsetting GL accounts in legacy documents will not be considered in this migration scope, they will be migrated in other objects scope eg. GL open item or GL balances. Migration takeover GL accounts will be offsetting the AP open items with respective profit center (if available in legacy).
Deferred tax in legacy AP documents will be included during migration. Reference to object 9019 (GL Line Items (BS - Input /Output (VAT)) for logic.
Withholding tax in legacy AP documents will be included during migration if withholding tax was not posted in legacy to avoid double posting. Reference to object 9020 (GL Line Items (BS - Withholding Tax)) for logic.
Offsetting GL line item(s) will be derived from legacy document. This will enable profit center derivation and splitting in S4. The offsetting GL account in migration loads will remain as migration clearing GL account but posted with the derived profit center which can be one line item or multiple line items depending on legacy open item document. If no profit center in legacy, a default profit center will be used.

Data Privacy and Sensitivity
Extraction
Extract data from a source into . There are 2 possibilities:
- The data exists. connects to the source and loads the data into . There are 3 methods:
- Perform full data extraction from relevant tables in the source system(s).
- Perform extraction through the application layer.
- Only if ; cannot connect to the source, data is loaded to the repository from the provided source system extract/report.
- 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:
- 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
- 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

Check whether source data (including DCT) has debit and credit entries in the same line. If sign is the same in all the three currency fields, then no action needed. If the sign in the document currency and company code currency field are different, then the document needs to be corrected in the source system or DCT. Ensure all transactions have values in Document Currency and Local Currency |
Reconciliation of total | Record Count Check the sum of record count of the AP open items in the load file is the same as source. The record count for AP Open Items will be done on the group basis. The fields in the group are consist of: Company Code, Vendor Check Amount in Document Currency and Local Currency Check the sum of the amount in Document Currency and Local Currency in load file is the same as source. If any of the sum is different, flag the record as error. |

Group the output of the report by Company Code and Vendor Account using subtotal function and compare the count in this report against the AP open items count in the pre-load file. The record count for AP Open Items may also be done on the more granular level. The recommended granular level or the subtotal fields can consist of: Company Code, Vendor, Profit Centre, Document Currency Key, Company ID for Trading Partner. If any of the count is different, raise defect and flag the relevant record as error. |

| Conversion accuracy | Verify AP open items are transformed accurately as per endorsed transformation/mapping rules. Review error reports in tool for any mismatch or missing transformed values. In legacy system, execute report AP Line Item Display (t/code: FBL1N) with selection parameters. If any of the sum is different, raise defect and flag the relevant record as error. |
| Business partner balance on Company code and profit center level | Check the total open item amount on Business partner at Company Code and Profit center level, against the total in legacy by Document, Local and Group currency. Apply currency rules where applicable |
Load
The load process includes:
- Execute the automated data load into target system using load tool
- Once the data is loaded to the target system, it will be extracted and prepared for Post Load Data Validation

Post-Load Validation
Project Team
Completeness
| Task | Action |
|---|---|
| Reconciliation of Record Count | Total number of records loaded for AP Open Items will be generated in the Post-load reports in tool based on the target table and fields mentioned. The reconciliation needs to be executed on the total number of ‘valid’ records and currency amount per company code in the source compared to total number of records and currency amount in S/4HANA Record Count Check the sum of record count of the open items in the load file is the same as S/4HANA. The record count for AP Open Items will be done on the group basis. The fields in the group are consist of: Company Code, Vendor Account Check Amount in Document Currency and Local Currency Check on line item level that the sum of the amount in Document Currency and Local Currency in the load file is the same as posted in S/4HANA. If any of the sum is different, flag the record as error. |
Accuracy
| Task | Action |
|---|---|
| Check values in key fields for accuracy | Post-load reports will have the same structure as the load file and some additional columns as required to facilitate the post load validation. Leverage on tool to create a Post Load report that reports S/4HANA loaded records along with the legacy values side-by-side to allow for 100% check of all these fields in the shortest possible time. Any mismatch will be reported under the Post Load - Error report. |
