Purpose

The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create <Data Object> 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


Conversion Scope

The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active <Data Object> from Legacy Source Systems into S/4HANA following the <Data Object> Master Data Design Standard.

  • The material and vendor in the quote are in the migration scope.
  • The contract is still within the validity period.
  • If multiple records exist for the same material and vendor, select only the one with the most recent effective date.


Sequence:

Material Master → Purchasing Info Record → Purchasing Contracts


The data from legacy system includes:

  1. Relevancy Criteria 1
  2. Relevancy Criteria 2
  3. Relevancy Criteria n

The data from legacy system excludes:

  1. Exclusion Criteria 1
  2. Exclusion Criteria 2
  3. Exclusion Criteria n

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

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.

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

The high-level process is represented by the diagram below:

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
