The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach of Profit Centres into S/4 HANA. Profit Centres
The document details out the field list, extraction criteria, scoping, mapping of cost centre object
Cost Centres will be extracted from Source and based on the list of cost centres from the cost centre mapping sheet, target cost centre data file will be
Profit Centres which will be listed as part of scope list with new numbering will be in scope of migration.
| Source | Scope | Source Approx No. of Records | Target System | Target Approx No. of Records |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PF2 | Profit Centre | 6,423 | S4HANA | |
| WP2 | Profit Centre | 5,768 | S4HANA |
In the Syensqo Profit Centres, the following four language keys must be maintained:
- English (EN)
- French (FR)
- Italian (IT)
- Chinese (ZN)
Note: For certain countries it may be required to also maintain account descriptions for certain Profit Centres in local language as per regulatory requirement (e.g. Japanese) in the respective country. Such requests must be backed by supporting evidence of the underlying regulatory requirement.
Such data will be collected as part of DCT for the translation texts for Profit Centres.
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.

| Reconciliation of Record Count | Total number of records loaded for TB Balance ( PY ) will be generated in the Post-load reports in tool based on the target table and fields mentioned in section 3. The reconciliation needs to be executed on the total number of ‘valid’ records and currency amount per company code in the source compared to total number of records and currency amount in S/4HANA Record Count Check the sum of record count of the open items in the load file is the same as S/4HANA. The record count for TB Balance ( PY ) will be done on the group basis. The fields in the group are consist of: Company Code, Vendor Account Check Amount in Document Currency and Local Currency Check on line item level that the sum of the amount in Document Currency and Local Currency in the load file is the same as posted in S/4HANA. If any of the sum is different, flag the record as error. |
| Task | Action |
|---|---|
| Check values in key fields for accuracy | Post-load reports will have the same structure as the load file and some additional columns as required to facilitate the post load validation. Leverage on tool to create a Post Load report that reports S/4HANA loaded records along with the legacy values side-by-side to allow for 100% check of all these fields in the shortest possible time. Any mismatch will be reported under the Post Load - Error report. |
| Task | Action |
|---|---|
| Record Count Check | Review the record count report from the Data Team and ensure it is correct by cross-checking with the record count confirmed during Pre-load Business Validations |
| Task | Action |
|---|---|
| Open items totals | Check business partner open item totals by Business partner, Company code, profit centre. Totals should be checked in Document, Local and Group currency. |
| Spot check | Business should choose some business partners and perform comprehensive check of open items, payment terms etc Such partners should have huge number of open items or be critical for payment runs in S4 or have certain complexity in conversion. |
Any additional key assumptions.
