Purpose

The Business Partner role UKM000 is used to manage Credit Management data within the FSCM framework. With UKM000, credit data is maintained per credit segment (instead of credit control areas), ensuring accurate credit checks in sales and financial processes. Its purpose is to provide a unified, modern, and integrated way to control customer credit risk across the system.

Conversion Scope

The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active Customer Master Data from Legacy Source Systems into S/4HANA Business Partner Credit management UKM000 Master Data Design Standard. 

The CNV-3007 Business Partners – General (Role 000000) relevancy criteria will also be used for this conversion document as below. 

The relevance below is applicable for BP customers. Once the customers in scope are finalized and extracted, we need to check the credit management fields for those customers in the legacy system and apply the transformation rules as per the source-to-target mappings.

Customer Master Data - General Information

The data from legacy system includes:

1. Customer with AR Balance under the company codes within S4 Hana implementation scope (BSID-KUNNR).
2. or (Customer doesn't have central deletion indicator (KNA1-LOEVM="") AND Customer has active sales view data within the sales organizations in scope(KNVV-KUNNR)) and there is usage within 4 years. * modified on 16/Oct/2025
3. or (Customer doesn't have central deletion indicator and customer has active company code view within the company codes in scope) and there is usage within 4 years. * modified on 16/Oct/2025
4. or there is customer consignment stock and the plant for the consignment stock is within S4 Hana implementation scope. 
5. or Customer is set as the credit account for other customers, and either the customer or credit account customer is not deleted. (if both customer or credit account is deleted, then not in migration scope)

6.  Intercompany customer will be defined based on the Enterprise structure. (To identify Intercompany customer, trading partner will be used. In the meantime, Group field(KNA1-KONZS) from customer general data will be used. For WP2/PF2, Group value = 0000810135 (Syensqo) )

7. or the customer in the partner function is active, then the parent customer will also be migrated. * added on 16/Oct/2025

8. or the customer is active in Salesforce and there are activities within 48 months.* added on 16/Oct/2025

9. or there is an existing forecast for the customer in Kinaxis. * added on 16/Oct/2025

10. or there is active master data for the customer, such as active Pricing Condition records. * added on 16/Oct/2025

Conversion Process

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

The ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process is a structured approach to data migration and management, ensuring high-quality data is seamlessly transferred across systems. Here’s a breakdown of its key components:

  1. Extraction

Data will be extracted using Syniti ADMM from ECC

2. Transformation
Once extracted, the data undergoes cleansing, consolidation, and governance. This step ensures data integrity, consistency, and compliance with business rules. The transformation process includes:
- Data validation to remove inconsistencies.
- Standardization to align formats across datasets.
- Business rule application to refine data for operational use.


3. Loading
The transformed data is then loaded into the target S4 Hana system.

Extraction

Extract data from a source into . There are 2 possibilities:

  1. 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 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:

  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
