Conversion Process
The high-level process is represented by the diagram below:
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
Extraction Run Sheet
Req # | Requirement description | Team responsible |
1. | Ensure source tables CEPC and CEPCT are extracted in tool according to the agreed cut-off date in the project plan Ensure DCT is collected for the Activity Types based on the collection template | Data team |
2. | Perform preliminary completeness check documented in section 5.2.8.1.1 | Data team |
3. | Raise issues as defects if Req # 1 to 2 are not met | Data team |
4. | Repeat Req # 1 to 3 if required | Data team |
5. | Report extraction result to person in charge of APOI conversion | Data team |

Data Collection Template (DCT)
Target Ready Data Collection Template will be created for data with exception of some fields which require transformation as mentioned in the transformation rule.DCT Rules
Field Name | Field description | Rule |
CEPC-PRCTR | Activity Type | Business to enter content as per data type and length permitted |
Suggestion to add:
Decimal validation - Check table TCURX for the document currency key and if Decimals (TCURX-CURRDEC) is ‘0’, validate that no decimal value is populated.
Extraction Dependencies
Item # | Step description | Team responsible |
1. | Any period / year end close activities have been fully completed | Business |
2. | Reconciliation for intercompany payables have been completed, and adjustment made in legacy SAP system | Business |
3. | Reconciliation of migrated Purchase Order is completed before the extraction of Accounts Payable Open Items | Business and Data |
Transformation
The Target fields are mapped to the applicable ECC 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.
- ECC 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

Load
Loading of the activity types will be done using migration cockpit object for activity type
Source data for CO - Activity type (2).xml
The load process includes:
- Execute the automated data load into target system using load tool or produce the load file if the loading of records to be done using LTMC cockpit object of Activity Type.
- Once the data is loaded to the target system, it will be extracted and prepared for Post Load Data Validation with side by side check of each fields in scope of the objects with fields to be displayed as XXXX_ECC, XXXX_S4HANA, XXXX_MATCH ( As TRUE or FALSE) with an additional column denoting fields not matching and status of loading in S/4HANA as LOADED_IN_S4HANA ( As TRUE or FALSE)

Post-Load Validation
Project Team
Completeness
| Task | Action |
|---|---|
Verify Count | R2R Data Team to verify the record count created in target S/4 HANA by accessing post load reports using standard reports from S/4 HANA. |
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.). |
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 ECC 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. |
| Conversion Accuracy | Verify that the Activity Types in target S/4 HANA are loaded correctly via load program and validate post load reports using standard t.code KL03 / KL13 or database tables CSLA from S/4 HANA. |
Business
Completeness
| Task | Action |
|---|---|
Verify Count | Download Post Load Reports from load program and verify that the record count loaded in the target S/4 HANA is the same count as of the approved load file. |
Accuracy
| Task | Action |
|---|---|
| Spot checks | Business should choose some Activity Types and perform comprehensive check of the fields in S/4 HANA |
| Conversion Accuracy | Verify that the Cost Element Groups in target S/4 HANA are loaded correctly via load program and validate post load reports using standard t.code KAH3 or database tables SETHEADER, SETHEADERT, SETNODE and SETLEAF 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.
- Data values in DCT are target ready data unless a specific transformation rule is stated for that field in the transformation rules
- Basic required configuration to be completed prior to this conversation
