Purpose

The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach for Quota Arrangements to be uploaded into SAP S/4HANA as part of the Procurement Data Migration. Quota Arrangements are used to determine the distribution of procurement quantities across multiple sources of supply, providing control over vendor sourcing allocations.


---CHECKLIST---

  • Logical Source and Target Systems are identified. 
  • Processing Type is specified (i.e. Direct Input, BAPI, IDoc, Web Service, OData API, etc.)
  • Standard or custom load program name/BAPI/IDoc is specified to support this functionality.
  • Data Mapping is provided for mappings which are not obvious to a suitably-skilled and experienced developer
  • All translation requirements are clearly defined (including data validation rules, data derivation/calculation and default values, if applicable)Input and/or Output file layouts are provided for all record types possible
  • Transaction volume is specified Execution frequency is specified Restart/Recovery requirements have been defined
  • Error handling requirements are specified, including alerting requirement and expected action on failure. 
  • Application log requirement if applicable to be specified. 



--- Additional topics to check---

  • Update the Data Volume with a actual figures
  • Rules for Data Merging (all systems)
  • Mapping Rules & Conversion Rules




Conversion Scope

This conversion approach covers active and relevant Quota Arrangements maintained at the material, plant, and source (vendor or source list) level. Records from legacy ECC systems (e.g., PF2, WP2) will be extracted, validated, transformed, and loaded into the S/4HANA system.

Only quota entries linked to valid material and vendor combinations and with an active allocation percentage will be considered in scope. Obsolete, deleted, or inactive quota records will be excluded. The harmonization process will align multiple legacy records into a consistent target format.


The data from legacy system includes:

  1. - Materials that are in scope for conversion
  2. Vendors that are valid and active in the target system
  3. Quota Arrangements with non-zero quota % and valid plant/material/vendor combinations
  4. Entries with recent procurement activity (last 3–5 years)

The data from legacy system excludes:

  1. Entries marked for deletion (QMAT-LOEKZ)
  2. Obsolete vendors or materials not migrated
  3. Quotas with zero allocation or expired validity period

Special Requirements

Specify any special requirements or considerations that may impact the data conversion process based on specific locations, regulatory compliance or system limitations. Clearly outline any regional or localization requirements such as country-specific data formats, legal reporting obligations or industry standards that must be adhered to (e.g., localization rules for countries like China).

If the data conversion involves third-party systems or external data sources, such as Icertis, describe any additional requirements related to data mapping, transformation logic, validation rules or security measures that must be followed.




Target Design

Quota Arrangement will be loaded into SAP S/4HANA using standard structures:

  • Table: QMAT (Quota Arrangement by Material)
  • Fields: MATNR, WERKS, LIFNR, KNTTP, KZUST, ANZQU, DATBI, DATAB, etc.
  • The data must match the material master, vendor master, and source list configurations.

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.

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


Transformation will involve harmonizing supplier codes, plant IDs, and units of measure across systems. Where multiple legacy entries exist for the same material/plant, the most recent or business-prioritized record will be retained.

Quota percentage (ANZQU) will be recalculated if source values are inconsistent or incomplete. Date fields will be reformatted to YYYYMMDD and adjusted to cover valid procurement windows.

Load

The load process includes:

  1. Once the data is loaded to the target system, it will be extracted and prepared for Post Load Data Validation;
  2. The data will be loaded using SAP LSMW leveraging BAPI_QUOTA_CREATE. No standard Migration Cockpit object exists for quota arrangements.
  3. The BAPI supports creation of records based on target-aligned templates. Staging Tables or Source Files will be handled by Syniti.


Load will occur in mock and production phases, with logs captured and reviewed for consistency, completeness, and errors.
