Purpose
The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create Measurement Document in S/4 HANA.
Measurement documents are used to record measurement readings on the condition of an equipment e.g. temperature. It is also used to record counter readings of an equipment e.g. Engine Running hours. This counter readings will be the trigger for maintenance plan to initiate maintenance and/or inspection work.
Conversion Scope
The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active Measurement Document from Legacy Source Systems into S/4HANA.
At Syensqo, Measurement Documents are created for Measuring Points to monitor the condition and usage of assets. They provide critical input to support condition-based and usage-based maintenance strategies. Measuring Points are created on either Functional Locations or Equipment, depending on the asset structure and monitoring requirement. The Measurement Documents are also a core component of Asset Performance Management (APM) used to monitor asset health, detect trends, and trigger condition-based or predictive maintenance actions.
The approach is to migrate the last Measurement Document for each active Measuring Point which is driving the active Maintenance Plans and Items in order to start the Maintenance Plan in S/4 HANA with the objective to continue with the cycle. For Measurement Documents related to APM, up to three years of historical data will be migrated from legacy systems to ensure seamless continuity in asset monitoring, trend analysis, and maintenance decision-making within the S/4 HANA.
The data from legacy system includes:
- Latest Measurement Document for relevant Measuring Point that is a counter (IMPTT-INDCT)
- where the Measurement Date (IMRG-IDATE) is before the Start Date of the linked Maintenance Plan Start for Time Based Plan
- where the Counter Reading (IMRG-CNTRR) is before the Start Counter Reading of the linked Maintenance Plan for Counter Based Plan
- Measurement Document for associated relevant Measuring Points for Functional Locations and Equipment for the past 3 years (IMRG-IDATE), limited to:
- specific Technical Object Type (EQUI-EQART/IFLOT-EQART) based on Value Mapping: OTH_Technical Object Type_APM and
The data from legacy system excludes:
- Measuring Document with reversal indicator (IMRG-CANCL)
- Long Text for Measurement Document
List of Tables to extract for this object is maintained here: Extract Table Register.
Illustration of relevant Measurement Document for extraction (Point 1 of relevancy criteria):
| Measuring Point | Measurement Document | Date | Time | Counter Reading | Reversal Indicator |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | 001 | 23 Feb 2026 | 10 am | 2010 | |
| A1 | 002 | 1 Mar 2026 | 2 am | 2040 | |
| A1 | 003 | 1 Mar 2026 | 4 am | 2050 | |
| A1 | 004 | 25 Feb 2026 | 5 pm | 2020 | |
| A1 | 005 | 2 Mar 2026 | 3 pm | 2060 | X |
| A1 | 006 | 26 Feb 2026 | 4 pm | 2021 | X |
Based on the above sample data, the following scenario and conclusion apply:
| Scenario | Maintenance Plan Start Date / Start Counter | Conclusion | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Not provided (blank) | Measurement Document 003 is to be extracted | Latest date and time without reversal indicator |
| 2 | Maintenance Plan Start Date = 27 February 2026 | Measurement Document 004 is to be extracted | Latest date and time without reversal indicator, closest and before 27 February 2026 |
| 3 | Maintenance Plan Start Counter = 2025 | Measurement Document 004 is to be extracted | Latest counter reading without reversal indicator, closest and before 2025 |
The following are not in scope for Measurement Document Conversion:
- Measurement Document Long Text
- Digital Local Indicators (eg Sensor Data available in Startek) as these will be mass created via Custom Development Program (ERP-582)
List of source systems and approximate number of records

Data Privacy and Sensitivity
Not Applicable.Extraction
Extract data from a source into Syniti Migrate. There are 2 possibilities:
- The data exists.Syniti Migrate connects to the source and loads the data into Syniti Migrate. There are 3 methods:
- Perform full data extraction from relevant tables in the source system(s).
- Perform extraction through the application layer.
- Only if Syniti Migrate; 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 inSyniti Migrate. This is to be conducted using DCT (Data Collection Template) inSyniti Migrate
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:
- Perform value mapping and data transformation rules.
- Legacy 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
