Purpose

The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create EAM Class  in S/4 HANA.

Legacy Plant Maintenance Class is using a diverse range of formats across the different systems. There are instances where the same classes are duplicated within and across sources, with informal words. This results in data inconsistency. As per SyWay design, EAM classes will be standardized.

Conversion Scope

The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active Classes from Legacy systems (PF1, WP1) and creation of New EAM Classes into S/4 HANA following the SyWay Class Master Data Design Standard.

Grouping of objects with particular features can be achieved by creating Classes in the S/4 HANA system. A large number of objects can be managed and logically organized using this functionality. 

Syensqo will utilize SAP Classification system (class and characteristic functionality) to assign any additional data attributes to following objects:

• PM Assembly
• Equipment Class
• Functional Location
• Work Centers
• Document Management (DIR)
• Task list
• Measuring point
• Maintenance Plans

Classes allow you to group objects based on specific criteria that you define.

• Classes are created for specific object types.
• The Class Type determines which object types can be classified within a given class.
• Characteristics are assigned to classes to describe the objects being classified.
• When assigning a characteristic to a class, its values can be customized or overwritten as needed.

The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active Classes from Legacy systems (PF1, WP1) and creation of New EAM Classes into S/4 HANA following the <Project Name> Class Master Data Design Standard. 

The data from legacy system includes:

1. Classes with below Class Type
   • 001-Materials: PM Assembly (PF2, WP2)
   • 002-Equipment class (PF2, WP2)
   • 003-Functional location (PF2, WP2)
   • 018-Task list class (WP2)
   • 019-Work center class (PF2, WP2)
   • 037-Measuring point (WP2)
2. Valid from [Current Date]
3. Status = 1 (Released)

The data from legacy system excludes:

1. Classes for Deletion (Deletion Indicator = X)

List of source systems and approximate number of records 

Additional Information

Multi-language Requirement

EAM Class description will be made available in English.
Multi language is supported for EAM Class. Login via a different language will have its description displayed in the logon language if the language key is maintained in the Class.

Target Design

EAM Class Data strictly adheres to the Master Data Standard. The complete information of the key fields that hold the Class information follows the Master Data Standard document.

The technical design of the target for this conversion approach. 

Data Cleansing

No data cleansing is required for Class in the legacy system. If any cleansing is deemed necessary, it will be performed outside of the system.

As a result, the cleansed Class data will be populated directly in the Data Collection Template (DCT).

Conversion Process

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

Collection will be done manually in the Data Collection Template for the following scenarios:

• For sites not on SAP-PF2 or WP2 systems
• For new classes that need to be created to support the to-be design

Data Privacy and Sensitivity

Extraction

1. Syniti Migrate connects to the sources.
2. An initial extract of the relevant Characteristics will be loaded into a google sheet report to assist business with any standardization.

Data Collection Template (DCT)

Target Ready Data Collection Template will be created for EAM Class data with exception of some fields which require transformation as mentioned in the transformation rule.

1. The extracted report will be loaded into the required structure using the DCT.
2. Standardization activities (including deduplication, standardization and additions)  will be carried out within the DCT.

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 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
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 Rules

There are no transformation rules all values will be copied from DCT.

Load

The load process includes:

1. Execute the automated data load into target system using load tool or product the load file if the load must be done manually
2. Once the data is loaded to the target system, it will be extracted and prepared for Post Load Data Validation

Key Assumptions

• Master Data Standard is up to date as on the date of documenting this conversion approach and data load. 
• Data entries in DCT are target-ready data unless a specific transformation rule is stated for that field in the transformation rules.

Any additional key assumptions.
