The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create EAM Document Info Records in S/4 HANA.
Legacy Document Info Record is using a diverse range of formats across the different systems. There are instances where the same Document Info Records are duplicated within and across sources, with informal words which are not used by Plant Maintenance objects at all. This results in data inconsistency. As per SyWay design, EAM Document Info Records will be standardized.
A Document Info Record (DIR) is a structured way to manage and store documents related to assets, equipment, maintenance processes and other EAM objects. It is part of the SAP Document Management System (DMS) and serves as a metadata record for documents stored within SAP. DIRs can be linked to EAM objects such as -
The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active EAM specific DIR from Legacy Source Systems into S/4HANA following the DIR Master Data Design Standard.
The data from legacy system includes:
The data from legacy system excludes:
| Source | Scope | Source Approx No. of Records | Target System | Target Approx No. of Records |
|---|---|---|---|---|
PF2, WP2 | Document Info Records will be extracted from PF2 and WP2 as SyWay Document Info Records. | 148421 | S/4 HANA | 148421 |
| PF2, WP2 | An initial extract of the relevant Standard Texts will be provided in google sheet format to assist business in decision making on including any relevant Standard Texts from PF2 and WP2 as Long Texts under individual Document Info Record. | 87 | S/4 HANA | 87 |
Document Management for relevant A2D Data Objects will be managed as part of this conversion specification.

All data cleansing should take place in the data source system as defined in this document, unless system limitations prevent it.
If data cleansing is managed outside of the source system (e.g. Syniti Migrate, 3rd Party Vendor, DCT), the necessary documentation must be produced and appended to this deliverable for sign-off.

The high-level process is represented by the diagram below:
Conversion will involve both Source System Extraction as well as using DCT (Data Collection Template) -
The high-level process for Source System Extraction is represented by the diagram below:

For sites that are not on SAP-PF2 and WP2 systems, collection will be done manually in the data collection template.
The high-level process for DCT is represented by the diagram below:

Extract data from a source into Syniti Migrate. There are 2 possibilities:
The agreed Relevancy criteria is applied to the extracted records to identify the records that are applicable for the Target loads
