Purpose

The purpose of this document is to define the data conversion approach to create Materials - Sales view with sales long text in S/4HANA.

Sales View is a part of the Material Master data that defines how a material is sold to customers. It's essential for creating sales orders, quotations, and other sales documents within the Sales and Distribution (SD) module. The Sales View includes information like sales organization, distribution channel, delivering plant, tax information, and sales-related text.

This conversion aims to migrate active and relevant Materials - Sales view with sales long text records from existing ECC systems into S/4HANA by applying required transformation logic using Syniti as the data migration and transformation platform. The converted records will be loaded into the target S/4HANA system using standard SAP mechanisms such as IDOCs, BAPIs, or direct table loads where applicable.


Conversion Scope

The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active Material Master Sales View including the sales long text from Legacy Source Systems into S/4HANA following the Materials - Sales view with sales long text Master Data Design Standard: DD-FUN-050 Master Data Standard_2003-Materials - Sales view with sales long text.

From the current system landscape, Materials - Sales view with sales long text exist in both legacy systems - PF2 and WP2. Harmonization and validation are required to ensure the accurate and consolidated data in S/4HANA. While PF2 and WP2 serve as source systems, a mapping and transformation logic will be necessary to produce properly formatted load templates in line with the target design.

 

The data from legacy system includes:

  1. Material Basic Data View is migrated as per CNV-2019 Materials - Basic Data View.
  2. The Sales Organization and Distribution Channel for Materials - Sales View with Sales Long Text is within the scope of S/4HANA.
  3. Flag for deletion at distribution chain/ sales organization level (MVKE-LVORM), Material Master Sales View is in the scope if:
    * No flag for deletion
    * With flag for deletion, but have sales transaction in the last 4 years for the sales organization in scope 


20260227-Eka: the following are updated in this Conversion Specs:

  1. Refer to CR0279 - Update Conversion Specs to remove mention of CUI System
  2. DCT-MLAN: remove pre-population
  3. Transformation:
    1. As the pre-population is removed from DCT-MLAN, default tax code to 1 (taxable) for combination Material / Country not in ECC.
    2. Distribution Channel based on sales organization country instead of plant country
  4. Delete Cleansing Report - Material Sales Text for all language

 

20260420-Eka: Refer to CR0455 - L2C CNV-3003 Distribution channel logic enhancement: Update this Conversion Specs Distribution Channel logic to follow CNV-3003

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
The process begins with extracting metadata and raw data from source systems, such as Syensqo ECC system WP2 and PF2. The extracted data is then staged for transformation.


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 S/4HANA system.

Extraction

Extract data from a source into Syniti Migrate for SAP ROW and SAP China relevant entities. There are 2 possibilities:

  1. The data exists. Syniti Migrate connects to the source and loads the data into Syniti Migrate. 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 Syniti Migrate cannot connect to the source, data is loaded to the repository from the provided source system extract/report.
  2. The data does not exist (or cannot be converted from its current state).  The data is manually collected by the business directly in Syniti Migrate. This is to be conducted using DCT (Data Collection Template) in Syniti Migrate

The agreed Relevancy criteria is applied to the extracted records to identify the records that are applicable for the Target loads.


For SAP CUI related entities, it will be alternative extraction process and the data will be stored in approved tools.

SCMNGDelivery unitQUAN13ConditionalEnter a quantity if material must be delivered in a specific quantity in outbound processes. When creating sales orders and when deliveries are processed, the system checks if the requested quantity aligns with the delivery unit. The system enforces rounding: only quantities that are full multiples of the delivery unit can be delivered.

Example: If the delivery unit is set to 12 bottles, the system won't allow delivery for 13 or 25 bottles; only multiples like 12, 24, 36, will pass, enforcing streamlined warehouse and transport operations
SCHMEUnit Of Measure of Delivery UnitUNIT3ConditionalSelect the relevant unit of measure of delivery unit. This field pairs with the "Delivery Unit" number, indicating what the delivery unit actually represents—such as boxes, cartons, pallets, or bottles

List available Unit of Measure (MAP_MEINS only the S/4 section)
VRKMESales UnitUNIT3ConditionalSelect the relevant sales unit applicable if material is sale in a diffrent unit as the base unit of measure during sales processing. The sales unit must be compatible with the units defined in the material master.

Example: If a product’s sales unit is set to "Box," customers will always order in “boxes” and the system will convert this to the base unit (e.g., 60 individual pieces if 1 box = 12 pieces) for warehouse and delivery processes

List available Unit of Measure (MAP_MEINS only the S/4 section)

- If material type ZDIR, then 'NORM Standard Item' or 'BANS Third Party Item' or 'ZAN2 Auxiliary items' or 'ZAN3 Distress/Scrap/Raw' or 'ZAN4 Bonded Warehouse' item category group can be selected
- If material type ZIND then 'NORM Standard Item' item category group can be selected
- If material type ZSER and does not require a delivery note, then 'LEIS Service w/o Delivery' item category group can be selected
- If material type ZSER and a delivery note is required, then 'DIEN Service w/ Delivery' item category group can be selected
- If material type ZLEI then 'LEIH Returnable Packaging' item category group can be selected
- If material type NLAG, then 'NLAG Non Stock Item/Test Panel' item category group can be selected
DWERKDelivering PlantCHAR4ConditionalSelect the delivering plant relevant for the material as the source of goods for delivery processing and stock updates, only if the material requires to have a specfic delevering source. This plant will be responsible for delivering materials to the customer.

When selecting delivering plant data in the Material Sales View, the delivering plant must be authorized for the selected Sales Organization and Distribution Channel in the system configuration.

List Plant in-scope assigned to the Sales Organization and Distribution Channel above.
PRODHProduct HierarchyCHAR18ConditionalEnter the product hierarchy relevant for the material. Each product hierarchy is made up of levels, with each level representing a more specific characteristic or grouping—like Category > Subcategory > Product Type.
Only material with material type ZDIR will be relevant for Product Hierarchy.

Refer to value mapping MAP_PRODH (only the S/4 section)
KONDMMaterial Price GrpCHAR2ConditionalEnter the material pricing group relevant for the material. This field is used to bundle materials into pricing groups, so pricing conditions such as discounts, surcharges, or rebates can be applied collectively to all materials within the group.

Only for material type ZDIR and Novecare material.

Refer to value mapping MAP_PRODH (only the S/4 section)

MVGR4Material Group 4CHAR3ConditionalPart of the product hierarchy relevant for the material.
Only for material type ZDIR and Technology Solution material.

Refer to value mapping MAP_PRODH (only the S/4 section)
RDPRFRounding ProfileCHAR4ConditionalEnter the rouding profile relevant for the material, only used to round up or down quantities for consistency in delivery process.​
Only material type ZDIR will be relevant for rounding profile.
Automatically round up sales order quantities to convenient deliverable units.
Example: A customer orders 19.5 kg. Since the warehouse can't break a pack, SAP uses the rounding profile to round the order up to 20 kg, so only whole packs are delivered.
MEGRUUnit of Measure GroupCHAR4ConditionalUnit of measure groups (UoM groups) are groups of one or more units of measure that you either allow as units of measure for a product or exclude from the set of possible UoMs for the product. You can assign UoM groups for the products of both the deliverying and receiving locations.
Only material type ZDIR will be relevant for unit of measure group.
VAVMEVariable Sales Unit Not AllowedCHAR1ConditionalCheck the box to restrict sales orders to only use the sales unit of measure specified in the material master for the relevant sales organization and distribution channel.
If checked for a material, SAP ensures that sales orders, deliveries, and invoices for that material can only use the defined sales unit.

Only material type - ZDIR will be relevant

Example: A company sells wine bottles only in full cases (12 bottles per case). On the material master, the sales unit is set as "case", and the "Variable Sales Unit Not Allowed" field is checked. This means sales orders can only be created in cases — users cannot select "bottle" as the sales unit, nor can they order partial cases or use other UoMs like "pack" or "box"

Data Extraction Logic for Materials - Sales View with sales long text

1. Process by Source System
Perform the extraction steps from source system, i.e. WP2 and PF2.

2. Extract Materials - Sales View with sales long text - Data
Extract Materials - Sales View with sales long text from table - MVKE (Sales Data for Material).

3. Extract Materials - Sales View with sales long text - Tax Selection
For each material from table MVKE above; get the Country and Tax Classification from Tax Classification for Material (table - MLAN).

4. Extract Materials - Sales View with sales long text - Text Selection
For each item level from table MVKE above concatenate the material number (18 digit), sales organization (4 digit) and distribution channel (2 digit) and default text object = MVKE and Text ID - 0001; get the Text Name and Language from table - STXH (STXD SAPscript text file header).
Note: Text ID maybe maintained in multiple languages. To migrate for all languages. 

5. Extract Materials - Sales View with sales long text - Text Details
For each Text Object, Text Name, Text ID and Language from table - STXH above, get the Text Details via function module: read_text.

6. S/4 Sales Organization is representing GBU. 
Get GBU based on the Material Profit Centre (MARC-PRCTR).
6.1. If the material GBU are not the same with S/4 Sales Organization GBU; exclude the material from transformation, but add it to Cleansing report.
6.2. If multiple ECC Sales Organization merge into 1 S/4 Sales Organization; include in the transformation if the material GBU is the same as S/4 Sales Organization GBU. Else exclude and add to the Cleansing report.
6.3. If 1 ECC Sales Organization is split into multiple S/4 Sales Organization; transform the material to respective S/4 Sales Organization where material GBU same as S/4 Sales Organization GBU. Else exclude and add to the Cleansing report.


Following are the logic to find Material GBU:

WP2


  1. Refer to CNV-2010 Materials - General Plant Data/ S.Loc Data for material type where profit centre will be required
  2. Get Material, Plant, Maintenance Status, DF at plant level, Profit Centre (screenshot column: A, B, D, E, F) from MARC (Plant Data for Material), where flag for deletion/ MARC-LVORM = blank and Plant is in-scope.
  3. Get the Company Code T001K-BUKRS (screenshot column: H) for the Plant (T001W-WERKS), where Valuation Area T001K-BWKEY = T001W-BWKEY
  4. Get the Sales Organization in-scope TVKO-VKORG for Company Code TVKO-BUKRS in the list (from #3) and TVKWZ-VKORG for Plant in the list (from #2). Add another records/ lines if there are multiple Sales Organizations.
  5. Get Controlling Area (screenshot column: I) for the Company Code from table: TKA02
  6. Get Profit Centre ID (screenshot column: G): concatenate Controlling Area (from #5) and Profit Centre (from #2)
  7. Get Profit Centre Group (screenshot column: J): VLOOKUP (Profit Centre ID,SETLEAF!ID:SETNAME,3,FALSE) from table: SETLEAF (from #B)
  8. Get Value Stream Codification (screenshot column: K): digit 7 and 8 of Profit Centre Group (from #7)
  9. Get GBU (screenshot column: L): VLOOKUP (Value Stream Codification,'GBU Lookup '!A:B,2,FALSE) - from #A.

Load Phase and Dependencies

The Materials – Sales views with sales long text will be loaded in the pre-cutover period.

Before loading, it will have dependency on the configuration and 2019 - Materials-Basic View(required Material Types-ROH/FERT/HALB/SRV/DIEN/ZDIE/Packaging/Spares). The configuration needs to be transported into the respective system first, including the manual configuration such as the number range set up. And 2019 Materials-Basic View(required Material Types-ROH/FERT/HALB/SRV/DIEN/ZDIE/Packaging/Spares) have to be uploaded into the respective system first.

Post-Load Validation

Project Team

The following post-load validations will be performed by the Project Team.

Completeness

TaskAction
Validate Record count Validate all tables has the same records as the loading file
Perform Source-to-Target Comparisons1. Validate that migrated data matches source records count.
2. Check for discrepancies in numerical values, text fields, and timestamps.



Accuracy

TaskAction
Execute Sample Queries and Reports1. Run queries to validate business logic.
2. Generate reports to compare expected vs. actual results
Conduct Post-Migration ReconciliationGenerate reports comparing pre- and post-migration data.
Perform Manual TestingPick up a few random sample for each material type.

Business

Post-load validation is a critical step in data migration, ensuring that transferred data is accurate, complete, and functional within the target system.

1. Ensuring Data Integrity
After migration, data must be consistent with its original structure. Post-load validation checks for missing records, incorrect mappings, and formatting errors to prevent discrepancies.
2. Business Continuity
Faulty data can disrupt operations, leading to financial losses and inefficiencies. Validating post-load data ensures that applications function as expected, preventing downtime.
3. Error Detection and Resolution
By validating data post-migration, businesses can detect anomalies early, reducing the cost and effort required for corrections
