Conversion Scope

The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active Materials - Basic Data View from Legacy Source Systems into S/4HANA following the Materials Master Data Design Standard.

From the current system landscape, Material data exists separately in the legacy systems (PF2 and WP2), with potential discrepancies in both organizations. Harmonization and validation are required to ensure accurate and consolidated data in S/4HANA. While PF2 and WP2 serve as source systems, extensive mapping and transformation logic will be necessary to produce properly formatted load templates in line with the target design.


Relevancy Rules

  1. All materials created in the previous 6 months will be included unless flagged for deletion
  2. Material Types ZUNB, ZBOM, ZPRC will be included regardless of activity (unless flagged for deletion). Material Types PROD, ZINT will be excluded. Maintenance Assemblies are excluded (MTypes Z750, ZIBA).
  3. We will only include materials that are extended to the following according to the Enterprise Structure (excluding ZPRC material type as these do not require plant extension):
    1. Company Codes in scope
    2. Plants in scope
    3. Purchasing Orgs in scope
    4. Sales Orgs in scope
  4. We will include for migration all materials that have activity over the previous 48 months for non ZIND/ZABF materials, or 60 months for ZIND/ZABF materials:
    1. For procurement data use EKKO/EKPO tables (remove any records in EKKO/EKPO where EKKO.LOEKZ = C,X EKPO.LOEKZ = L,S and use EKPO/AEDAT for date range
    2. For sales data use VBAK/VBAP tables 
    3. For work order data use AUFK/AFKO/AFPO tables. Check date using AUFK.ERDAT. Enter Order Category AUFK.AUTYP 40 for Process Orders and 30 for Maintenance Orders.
    4. Valid PIRs and Source List (this includes Not Deleted/Validity Date not expired/In scope Purchasing Orgs and Plants based on Enterprise Structure) Check tables EINA/EINE/EORD. Check EORD.NOTKZ is showing as not blocked. Check that EORD.BDATU is greater than current date.
  5. Additionally, we can check material movements by querying MKPF/MSEG tables for the last 48 months for non ZIND/ZABF materials and 60 months for ZIND/ZABF materials.  Link MKPF.MBLNR (Document Number) to MSEG.MBLNR. Enter dates with MKPF.BLDAT. WP2 may have to be restricted to quarterly data due to the number of records. In MKPF.VGART (Transaction Types) add: IB,ID,IZ,RS,SI,WA,WE,WF,WH,WI,WL,WO,WQ,WR,WS,WV,WZ.
  6. We will include for migration all materials that have open documents including the following:
    1. Open PO and STO. (EKPO-ELIKZ ≠ 'X') (EKKO.BSTYP = F)
    2. Open contracts and scheduling agreements. (EKPO-ELIKZ ≠ 'X') (EKKO.BSTYP = K)
    3. Open SO. VBUK.GBSTK = ('A','B') 
    4. Open WO. Use AUFK for checking open Process orders. Link field AUFK.OBJNR to JEST.OBNR to get status codes not equal to TECO AND JEST.INACT ≠ 'X'.
  7. Have current stock/open inventory
    1. For Open Inventory use the following tables:

      MARD

      MKOL (Consignment stock)

      MSKA (Sales Order stock)

      MSLB (Special stock)

      MSPR (Project stock)

  8. We will include BOM data for materials in scope using tables: MAST/STKO/STPO. We will include all Production, Plant Maintenance and Sales BOMs and their related components. MAST data will include BOM Usage (STLAN) 1 (Production), 4 (Plant Maintenance) & 5 (Sales and Distribution). STKO data will include BOM Category STKO.STLTY = E (Equipment) F (Functional Location) & M (Material). All BOM components will be included in relevancy regardless of activity (unless flagged for deletion). Exclude any deleted records STKO.LOEKZ, STKO.LKENZ= X, STPO.LKENZ = X.
  9. Materials with Deletion Flags will be excluded unless appearing in the following open transactions:
    1. Open PO/STO
    2. Open contracts and scheduling agreements
    3. Open SO
    4. Open WO
  10. Deletion Flags (Table/Field) are as follows: MARA/LVORM = 'X' MARA/MSTAE = Z3, Z4, ZZ (PF2 system) Z0 (WP2 system)
  11. Materials with the word 'OBSOLETE' or 'DELETED' contained within the Short Description will be excluded. Also excluded are Materials where Short Description contains '**OBS', '**OBS**', '**OBS***', '*OBS*', '*OBS**', '***OBS***'
  12. Include ZIND/ZABF materials with Purchase Requisition for the last 60 months. Check table EBAN. Check for validity date EBAN.ERDAT. Check EBAN.BSTYP = B. Check valid Purchase Org/Plant/Company Code according to the Enterprise Structure
  13. Include non ZIND/ZABF materials with Purchase Requisition for the last 48 months. Check table EBAN. Check for validity date EBAN.ERDAT. Check EBAN.BSTYP = B. Check valid Purchase Org/Plant according to the Enterprise Structure
  14. Include all materials with PIR(Planned Independent Requirements). Check table PBIM/PBED for materials PBIM.MATNR. Check PBIM.LOEVR ≠ 'D'. Check PBIM.WERKS for in scope Plants.
  15. Include all materials with planned orders for external procurement. Check table PLAF. Check date PLAF.PSTTR for previous 4 years activity. Check for special procurement in field PLAF.SOBES = 0.

The Material Master Records will be extracted/collected via DCT. An initial extract of the relevant data will be provided in Google Sheet format to assist business in decision making on including any relevant data from Source Systems.

Any additional data that need to be created to support the new design may be added in the DCT.

A data review and standardization will be done across all Info Records in the DCT.
