Purpose
The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create Maintenance Planning Bucket in S/4 HANA.
A Maintenance Planning Bucket is a logical container or grouping tool used by maintenance planners to organize and manage maintenance orders and notifications for a specific time period and scope. The scope of a planning bucket includes time, but also other important attributes of the maintenance jobs.
Conversion Scope
The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active Revision from Legacy Source Systems into Maintenance Planning Bucket in S/4HANA.
In Syensqo, Maintenance Planning Buckets will primarily be used to release maintenance orders, enabling material staging, permit processing, and job scheduling, while preventing further structural changes to planning data.
Some of the key information required to support Maintenance Planning Buckets is not consistently maintained in the source systems.
There are currently two categories of revisions:
- Event-Based
- Weekly revisions.
These revision types are typically distinguished by a Revision Type. However, this field is not used in the source systems, despite being a key identifier for differentiating revision behaviour. In addition, revision dates are not maintained even when the they are reused across open transactional data.
From a conversion perspective, the scope includes only the creation of Event-Based revisions into Event-Based Maintenance Planning Buckets. Weekly revisions will be handled during cutover activities and triggered via batch jobs, which will be owned by the core Functional team..
That said, to support data continuity, the mapping from legacy revisions to target Maintenance Planning Buckets for Weekly revisions will still be maintained as part of conversion. This ensures that downstream objects - such as Work Orders - can correctly reference the appropriate target Maintenance Planning Bucket.
Given this, and considering the estimated data volume, this object will be fully constructed. However, a source system report will still be required to supplement specific information needed to support the target system requirements.
The data from legacy system includes:
- Revisions within Maintenance Planning Plants (T352R-IWERK) in scope (Value Mapping: Plant where Maintenance Plant = Yes)
- Revisions with a Date of Revision End in the future, based on the following conditions:
- Populated Date of Revision Start (T352R-REVBD <> "") and Date of Revision End (T352R-REVED <> "")
- Date of Revision End (T352R-REVED) is in the future (T352R-REVED) > Migration Date (Value Mapping: OTH_Migration_Date Relevant Values A2D (using Object ID "9101" and Field Name = "T352R-REVED"))
- Revisions with Missing Date of Revision Start (T352R-REVBD = "") or Date of Revision End (T352R-REVED = "") with Open Legacy Work Order Assigned (AUFK-AUFNR)
The data from legacy system excludes:
- Completed Revisions (Indicator: Revisions Completed (T352R-REVTY = "X"))
- Revisions in the Past (Date of Revision End (T352R-REVED) < Migration Date (Value Mapping: OTH_Migration_Date Relevant Values A2D (using Object ID "9101" and Field Name = "T352R-REVED")
- Revisions with Missing Date of Revision Start (T352R-REVBD = "") or Date of Revision End (T352R-REVED = "") with NO Open Legacy Work Order Assigned (AUFK-AUFNR)
Note: Open Legacy Work Order (AUFK-AUFNR) Criteria: System Status (JEST-STAT) <> TECO (Technically Completed)

Not ApplicableExtraction
Extract data from a source into Advanced Data Migration and Management (ADMM) . There are 2 possibilities:
- The data exists. connects to the source and loads the data into the repository. There are 3 methods:
- Perform full data extraction from relevant tables in the source system(s).
- Perform extraction through the application layer.
- Only if ADMM 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 in the repository. This is to be conducted using DCT (Data Collection Template) in Advanced Data Migration and Management (ADMM).
The agreed Relevancy criteria is applied to the extracted records as reference point to identify the records that are applicable for the data construction in the DCT.

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 ADMM 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 Advanced Data Migration and Management (ADMM)
- 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

Key Assumptions
- Maintenance Planning Bucket is in scope based on data design and any exception requested by business.
- Data cleansing has met the required percentage threshold for the specified mock cycle and all preparation activities have been completed.
- Data entries in DCT are target-ready data unless a specific transformation rule is stated for that field in the transformation rules.
- Weekly Revisions are not in Conversion Scope. However, to support the data conversion of downstream objects such as Work Orders, the mapping from legacy Weekly Revisions to target Maintenance Planning Buckets will still be maintained within the data value mapping.
- A Maintenance Planning Bucket can only contain a single Maintenance Event. Each revision in the source system will be linked to a single Maintenance Planning Bucket and each Maintenance Planning Bucket will correspond to one Maintenance Event.
