The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create Revision in S/4 HANA.
Depending on how Revision is used in S4, what Revision Types are configured
The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active Revision from Legacy Source Systems into Maintenance Planning Bucket in S/4HANA.
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 | Valid Revisions | 3000 | S/4HANA | 3000 |
| DCT | Revisions for plants which do not have data existing from PF2 and PF2 | nnn | S/4HANA | nnn |
Revision does not have multi language support. Revision text will be migrated using EN logon.

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.
With Functional input, document the technical design of the target fields that are in the scope of this document.
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 |
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.
| ID | Criticality | Error Message/Report Description | Rule | Output | Source System |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9003-001 | C1 | Invalid, Inactive or no Inactive or no Cost Centres linked to Revision | Revision as per Relevancy Criteria assigned with a Cost Centre which does not belong below: 1. Cost Centre (FI) as per Relevancy Criteria | All key fields | PF2, WP2 |
| 9003-002 | C1 | Invalid, Inactive or no WBS linked to Revision | Revision as per Relevancy Criteria assigned with a WBS which does not belong below: 1. Work Breakdown Structure (PS) as per Relevancy Criteria | All key fields | PF2, WP2 |
| 9003-003 | C1 | Invalid, Inactive or no Inactive or no Work Centres linked to Revision | Revision as per Relevancy Criteria assigned with a Work Centre which does not belong below: 1. Work Centre as per Relevancy Criteria | All key fields | PF2, WP2 |
The high-level process is represented by the diagrams below.
The following represents the high-level process for Source System Extraction:

The following represents the high-level process for DCT:

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
| Req # | Requirement Description | Team Responsible |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Extract data from source system based on relevancy rule | Data Team |
| 2 | Google Sheet report pre-populated with PF2 and WP2 information to be generated based on relevancy criteria. | Data Team |

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:

Conversion Accuracy | Data team to verify that all fields below meet pass the checks: 1. Mandatory Fields 2. Field and Value Mapping Correctness 3. Null Checks 4. Text Length Checks |
Review error reports | Review and correct the errors. Achieve a zero-error record count as much as possible. Raise defects for data remediated and requiring a correction in the source data. |

Verify Record Count | Business team to verify that the total number of relevant records from the source systems is equal to the total number of records in the Preload and Load Sheets. |
