Purpose

The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create Batch Classes (Class Type: 023) in S/4 HANA.

Currently, in the legacy systems, batch classes are created and assigned to materials to capture logistics and quality-related information through characteristic values. However, there may be multiple duplicate classes existing within the system, which need to be standardized across both legacy systems as part of the SyWay Design.

Batch Class 023 in SAP is designed to store and manage characteristics relevant to batches, supporting both logistics and quality requirements for effective batch management and traceability.


Conversion Scope

The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active and valid Batch Classes from Legacy Source Systems (PF2 & WP2) into S/4HANA following the Batch Class (Class Type: 023) Master Data Design Standard.

Standardizing these Batch Classes ensures a consistent structure for batch data across materials and processes.

The data from legacy system includes:

  1. Batch Class of Class Type: 023
  2. Class Validity (Valid From and Valid To), Valid Date to be considered as Data of Extraction.
  3. Class Groups
  4. Characteristics Assignment 
  5. Status as "1" - Released

The data from legacy system excludes:

  1. Status as "0" - In Preparation
  2. Status as "2" - Locked
  3. No Characteristics Assignment

Data Cleansing

Data cannot be cleansed in Legacy Systems as there is already Classes assigned to materials and transaction data also exists and considering this, all class need to be standardized Globally and will be populated in Data Collection Template(DCT).



Conversion Process

The high-level process is represented by the diagram below:

Please note that the data may have to be loaded in multiple target systems (US instance, China instance and RoW).

Extraction


1

Extract data from source system based on relevancy rule

SyWay Data Team

2

Google Sheet report pre-populated with PF2 and WP2 information to be generated based on relevancy criteria. 

SyWay Data Team

Data Collection Template (DCT)

  1. The extracted report will be loaded into the required structure using the DCT.
  2. Standardization activities (including deduplication, standardization and additions)  will be carried out within the DCT.

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.

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

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
