The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create Business Partners - Employee (BUP003) in S/4 HANA.
Summarise how the data is currently utilized and set up in the legacy system/s and how object is intended to be represented in S/4, and any other relevant information
The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active Business Partners - Employee (BUP003) from Legacy Source Systems into S/4HANA following the Business Partners - Employee (BUP003) Master Data Design Standard.
The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create Business Partners - FI Vendor (FLVN00) in S/4 HANA.
Business Partner - FI Vendor Role captures the vendor’s FI data attributes such as Reconciliation Account, Tax Code, Payment data, etc. at the Company Code level.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Summarize Multi-language Requirement/s, if any
Summarize Document Management requirement, if any
Summarize Legal Requirement/s, if any
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.

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.
