The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create EAM Characteristics in S/4 HANA.
Legacy Plant Maintenance Characteristics is using a diverse range of formats across the different systems. There are instances where the same characteristics are duplicated within and across sources. This results in data inconsistency. As per SyWay design, EAM Characteristics will be standardized.
The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active EAM Characteristics from Legacy Source Systems into S/4HANA following the EAM Characteristics Master Data Design Standard.
Characteristics define a single custom field used to capture specific properties, attributes or values of an object. In SAP, Classes and Characteristics together form the “Classification System”.
For Syensqo, Characteristics will be used to record key attributes supporting reliability categorization and various analyses. It will be primarily used for information and reporting of attribute data across a large set of technical objects (e.g. Functional Location Structure). These Characteristics will be created centrally and assigned to relevant Classes.
From the current source systems’ perspective, Class and Characteristic concepts already exist (but in slightly different structure). Characteristic data and their allowed values are independently managed between PF2 and WP2. While these have been identified as source systems, a considerable amount of data construction will be required to support the production of data load sheets in the desired format.
While these systems serve as sources, extensive construction will be necessary to produce properly formatted data load sheets for S/4 HANA.
The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active Characteristics from Legacy systems (PF2, WP2) and creation of New EAM Characteristics into S/4 HANA following the Characteristics Master Data Design Standard.
The data from legacy system includes:
The data from legacy system excludes:
List of source systems and approximate number of records
| Source | Scope | Source Approx No. of Records | Target System | Target Approx No. of Records |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PF2, WP2 | Characteristics will be collected via DCT. An initial extract of the relevant Characteristics will be provided in google sheet format to assist business in decision making on including any relevant Characteristics from PF2 and WP2 as EAM Characteristics. Any additional Characteristics that need to be created to support the new design may be added in the DCT. A review and standardization will be done across all characteristics in the DCT. Note: A full Data Construct will be created for Characteristics, as the SyWay design is changing and a complete standardization will be performed. While data may already exist, it cannot be easily transformed to align with the new SyWay data setup. | 6,500 | 6,500 |
EAM Characteristic description will be made available in English.
Multi language is supported for EAM Characteristics. Login via a different language will have its description displayed in the logon language if the language key is maintained in the Characteristics.

Characteristics A2D Data strictly adheres to the Master Data Standard. The complete information of the key fields that hold the Characteristic information follows the Master Data Standard document that is located here.
No data cleansing is required for Characteristics in the legacy systems. If any cleansing is deemed necessary, it will be performed outside of the systems.
As a result, the cleansed Characteristics data will be populated directly in the Data Collection Template (DCT).
