Purpose

The purpose of the document is to define the data conversion approach to create Business Partners – 3rd Party Suppliers through FLVN01 Supplier Role including partner function/bank/tax view in S/4 HANA.


Conversion Scope

The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active Vendor Master purchasing attributes records from Legacy Source Systems into Business Partner – Supplier Role FLVN001 in S/4 HANA following the Vendor Master Data Design Standard.

The data from legacy system includes:

  1. Vendors’ relevant purchasing data with potential duplicate records
  2. Vendors’ relevant purchasing data with potential missing information such as partner function, bank, tax, etc related fields

The data from legacy system excludes:

  1. Vendors blocked or marked for deletion.
  2. Purchasing organization not in scope
  3. Inactive vendors with no transactions for the past 2 years

Supplier role is applicable only for legally registered entities and strictly adheres to Master Data Standards (MDS) which elaborates out these criteria and other requirements such as Partner Function, Bank and Tax details being mandatory information used across Business Partner. 

Identified relevant suppliers from the Global level relevancy. Relevant suppliers with valid purchasing organization extensions in source systems will be in-scope for deduplication analysis.

Deduplication exercise will check duplicates at purchasing organization level and business will choose the source of supplier role attributes to be used for migration. Otherwise, if record has no duplicates, it automatically becomes the source for supplier master data transformation.

(for further relevancy scope, refer to Business Partner – General DCS)

Deduplication of supplier records with parent and child approach.

Vendors with same name, VAT ID, bank details, etc., should be unified to avoid redundant BP creation.
Criteria:

Same or similar name
Same or similar address, phone number, city.
VAT/TAX registration number (where applicable)

Summarize High-Level Process. Include diagrams, where applicable. Include information supporting details of Extract, Transform and Load specific to the Data Object


Data Privacy and Sensitivity

Summarize Data Privacy and Sensitivity Requirements, if any


Extraction

Extract data from a source into Syniti Migrate. 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

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 Syniti Migrate to make the data Target ready:

  1. Perform value mapping and data transformation rules.
    1. Legacy values are mapped to the to-be values (this could include a default value)
    2. Values are transformed according to the rules defined in Syniti Migrate
  2. 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

  2. Once the data is loaded to the target system, it will be extracted and prepared for Post Load Data Validation

Key Assumptions

  • Master Data Standard is up to date as on the date of documenting this conversion approach and data load.
  • Data Object is in scope based on data design and any exception requested by business.

Any additional key assumptions.
