Purpose

The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach of Profit Centres into S/4 HANA.

The document details out the field list, extraction criteria, scoping, mapping of Profit Centre object.

Profit Centres will be constructed based on the target design and a DCT(Constructed data based on Data Collection Template) will be provided to Syniti for subsequent processing. Along with the DCT, a mapping file of legacy(ECC) to target(S4) will be provided for dependent master and transaction objects.

Conversion Scope

Profit Centres which will be listed as part of scope list with new numbering will be in scope of migration.

List of source systems and approximate number of records

Source	Scope	Source Approx No. of Records	Target System	Target Approx No. of Records
PF2	Profit Centre	6,423	S4HANA
WP2	Profit Centre	5,768	S4HANA

Additional Information

Multi-language Requirement

In the Syensqo Profit Centres, the following four language keys must be maintained:
- English (EN)
- French (FR)
- Italian (IT)
- Chinese (ZN)
Note: For certain countries it may be required to also maintain account descriptions for certain Profit Centres in local language as per regulatory requirement (e.g. Japanese) in the respective country. Such requests must be backed by supporting evidence of the underlying regulatory requirement.
Such data will be collected as part of DCT for the translation texts for Profit Centres.

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:
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.
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.
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
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
