Purpose

The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create Customer Material Information Records (CMIR) 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 Customer Material Information Records (CMIR) from Legacy Source Systems into S/4HANA following the Customer Material Information Records (CMIR) Master Data Design Standard. 

Pending Functional MDS before updating this Conversion Specs with following: 

  1. Requirement for CMIR at Ship-to level instead of Sold-to. If using ship-to; may need to implement custom logic, potentially using a user exit like USEREXIT_CUST_MATERIAL_READ, to check for Ship-to specific records first.
  2. Classification is new feature in S/4HANA. SME mentioned they want to use this. 
  3. There are 18 Text configured for CMIR in QF2 and 17 Text Type in WQ2. All text type will be migrated?

  4. Customer material and customer material description -> if blank copy Syensqo material and material description or excluded from migration.


The data from legacy system includes: 

  1. All active Customer Material Information Records (CMIR); where customer and material still active.

  2. Active customer is a customer without deletion blocks at general data OR customer without deletion flags in the same sales area (sales organization, distribution channel and division) as customer material info records OR customer without Sales and Distribution blocks.

  3. Active material is a material where the combination of x-distr.chain status (MARA-MSTAV) and DChain-spec. status (MVKE-VMSTA) are the following:

    • blank - blank
    • blank - 63
    • 63 - blank
    • 63 - 63

  4. Relevancy Criteria 4

  5. Relevancy Criteria n

The data from legacy system excludes:

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

Legal Requirement

As per US Department of Defence (DOD) a Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification/ CMMC 2.0 is a mandatory certification for all contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI). CUI includes sensitive technical data (e.g., design specs, system info) related to U.S. military and space applications. The Composites Business handles CUI and is therefore within CMMC scope. Without certification, the business risks disqualification from existing and future DoD programs.
It is mandatory to implement CMMC-compliant systems and processes to for all the organizations that are dealing with CUI.

Therefore, there will be one SAP instance specifically for CUI related entities. The migration for CUI related entities will be covered by US based data consultant using separate tools.

Special Requirements

Customer Material Info Records (CMIR)

A. Different SAP Instance Migration Approach

Due to compliance requirement, there will be one SAP instance for Rest of the World (ROW), one for China and one for CUI.

  1. For entities in China, the data will be loaded into SAP China instance while the entire migration process will remain the same as rest of the world.
  2. For entities which will reside in CUI, the migration will be handled by US based data consultant. 

Please refer to the link for the entity mapping for each instance. In case the data object is applicable for multiples instances, what business rule to follow?


 - To identify the record is for SAP ROW Instance, it will use below logic. 

  1. The Customer Material Info Records (CMIR) has sales organization data in below entities.

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:

The ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process is a structured approach to data migration and management, ensuring high-quality data is seamlessly transferred across systems. Here’s a breakdown of its key components:

1. Extraction
The process begins with extracting metadata and raw data from source systems, such as Syensqo ECC system (i.e., WP2/PF2) periodically. The extracted data is then staged for transformation.


2. Transformation
Once extracted, the data undergoes cleansing, consolidation, and governance. This step ensures data integrity, consistency, and compliance with business rules. The transformation process includes:
- Data validation to remove inconsistencies.
- Standardization to align formats across datasets.
- Business rule application to refine data for operational use.


3. Loading
The transformed data is then loaded into the target S4 Hana system. 


For CUI instance, the ETL process will be similar, but it will not use Syniti tool.



Data Privacy and Sensitivity

For SAP CUI instances, the data will be processed by US Based consultants.




Extraction

Extract data from a source into Syniti Migrate for S/4HANA ROW and S/4HANA China relevant entities. 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

For SAP CUI related entities, it will be alternative extraction process and the data will be stored in approved tools.

7

Data cleansing of legacy Customer Material Information Records (CMIR) data must be completed.

If standardization within the DCT begins using relevant data from PF2 and WP2 before the cleansing is finalized, it is understood that the business will take due diligence to ensure any subsequent delta cleansing is verified and aligned 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 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

Business

Post-load validation is a critical step in data migration, ensuring that transferred data is accurate, complete, and functional within the target system.

1. Ensuring Data Integrity

After migration, data must be consistent with its original structure. Post-load validation checks for missing records, incorrect mappings, and formatting errors to prevent discrepancies.

2. Business Continuity

Faulty data can disrupt operations, leading to financial losses and inefficiencies. Validating post-load data ensures that applications function as expected, preventing downtime.

3. Error Detection and Resolution

By validating data post-migration, businesses can detect anomalies early, reducing the cost and effort required for corrections
