Purpose

The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create Batches with Classification Data in S/4 HANA based on Master Data Standards DD-FUN-050 Master Data Standard_1048-Batch Master.

Batches are used extensively used in Syensqo Legacy System and used for below purposes.: 

Quality Control

  • Each batch can be tested and its quality attributes recorded. SAP enables linking quality results to specific batches, ensuring only compliant products are shipped.

Inventory Management

  • Batches help manage inventory by expiration date, production date, or quality status.
  • Enables First-Expired-First-Out (FEFO) or First-In-First-Out (FIFO) inventory strategies.

Production Efficiency

  • Batches allow for detailed production planning and tracking.

Batch is activated at Material Level and it is unique.


Conversion Scope

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

The data from legacy system includes:

  1. Materials in Scope
  2. Materials marked as Batch in MARA/MARC
  3. Batches in Stock (MCHB)  - Inventory Exists
    • MCHB-CLABS is GT 0 Or
      MCHB-CUMLM is GT 0 Or
      MCHB-CINSM is GT 0 Or
      MCHB-CEINM is GT 0 Or
      MCHB-CSPEM is GT 0
  4. Valuation Type (MCHA-BWATR) is Blank
  5. Plants in Scope

The data from legacy system excludes:

  1. Batches marked for Deletion

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.

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

Data Team / Business Data Owners


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 ADMM 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 ADMM
  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

Key Assumptions

  • The Master Data Standards document is a evolving document where value mappings/validation checks are still being finalized as we are currently in the detailed phase as of September 2025.
  • Batch Master and Classification data is in scope based on data design and any exception requested by business.
