Purpose

The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to upload Materials - Class Type 001 into S/4 HANA as part of the Material Data Migration.

Link to MDS: DD-FUN-050 Master Data Standard_2017-Material master - Class Type 001


Conversion Scope

The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active Class data linked to Class Type 001 from Legacy Source Systems into S/4HANA following the Material Master Data Design Standard.  The Business and S2P Functional Team have decided not to use legacy Classes, but instead to create 4 new Classes linked to Class Type 001.  (It is possible that this number may change in the future.)

The 4 new Classes are documented in the MDS on the "Governance" sheet in the "Field Governance Rules" section, in rule #1, Class, as part of the Rule Description.

3 new To-Be Classes linked to Class Type 001 has been defined by the Business and the S2P Functional Team.  The new Classes will be captured in a DCT.


Service Master records that will become Materials in the target are out of scope.  See the mail from Simran. Service Master Data Used in 2017 CLASS TYPE 001 in S4H.pdf

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 Syniti Migrate to make the data Target ready:

  1. 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
