Purpose
The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create Equipment in S/4 HANA.
Legacy Equipment are using a diverse range of formats across the different systems. There are instances where the same Equipment are duplicated within and across sources, with informal words. This results in data inconsistency. As per SyWay design, EAM Equipment will be standardized.
Conversion Scope
The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active Equipment from Legacy Source Systems into S/4HANA following the Equipment Master Data Design Standard.
In Syensqo’s SAP S/4HANA landscape, Equipment is used to define an individual asset or a sub-component of an asset. Each Equipment record represents a maintainable unit, serving as a critical master data for executing maintenance and work management processes.
Depending on its installation context, Equipment can be categorized as either a Static asset or a rotable part which can be dismantled and installed at a different location. Regardless of its type, every piece of Equipment is installed at a relevant superior Functional Location, ensuring its position within the asset hierarchy is clearly defined. <MDS needs to confirm if Equipment is going to be installed under just FLOC or other Equipment as well>
This structured approach supports efficient maintenance planning, traceability, and lifecycle management of assets across Syensqo’s operations.
The data from legacy system includes:
- Equipment with system status - Not 'INAC' (Object Deactivated)
- Relevancy Criteria 2
The data from legacy system excludes:
- Exclusion Criteria 1
- Exclusion Criteria 2
| Source | Scope | Source Approx No. of Records | Target System | Target Approx No. of Records |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PF2, WP2 | An initial extract will be provided to the business to evaluate. Additional data/records may be required and these will be constructed via DCT. Enrichment of in-scope data may be required and will be added via transformation rules (business/technical). | 60,347 | S/4HANA | 60,347 |
Additional Information
Multi-language Requirement
- Functional Location description will be made available in <list of languages>.
- Multi language is supported for Functional Locations. <Applicable languages> can be created upon master data creation using English Logon.
Document Management
- <Types of documents> documents currently attached to Functional Locations will be migrated to <TBD>.
- Refer to the conversion approach for <TBD>.

Target Design
EAM Equipment Data strictly adheres to the Master Data Standard. The complete information of the key fields that hold the Equipment information follows the Master Data Standard document DD-FUN- 050 Master Data Standard Equipment.xlsx.
The technical design of the target for this conversion approach.
| Table | Field | Data Element | Field Description | Data Type | Length | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MARA | MATNR | MATNR | Material Number | CHAR | 18 | Mandatory |
Data Cleansing
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.

Conversion Process
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:
Data Privacy and Sensitivity
<To add more info later if applicable>Extraction
Extract data from a source into Syniti Migrate. There are 2 possibilities:
- The data exists. Syniti Migrate connects to the source and loads the data into Syniti Migrate. There are 3 methods:
- Perform full data extraction from relevant tables in the source system(s).
- Perform extraction through the application layer.
- Only if Syniti Migrate; 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 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:
- 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 Syniti Migrate
- 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
