Purpose

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

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


Conversion Scope

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

Functional Locations are technical objects that structure the maintainable objects of a company. They can represent either the location of a maintainable item, or the maintainable item itself. A functional location does not normally change and will record the history of all equipment that is installed at that location. 

Syensqo utilizes Functional Locations (FLOC) within the SAP S/4HANA system to define and manage its Asset Hierarchy. The asset hierarchy is structured across three main categories:

  1. Organisational Level - This level represents the enterprise structure of Syensqo. It defines:
    • The Company

    • The Global Business Unit (GBU)

    • The Plant

  2. Navigational Level - This level structures the hierarchy based on the functional or geographical layout of the plant. It defines:

    • Units within the Plant
    • Further sub-levels based on the physical location or logical grouping of assets, enabling effective representation and navigation within the hierarchy
  3. Asset Level - This is the installation level where the actual Assets and Sub-assets are physically located. It includes:
    • Specific installation points for equipment
    • Maintainable assets themselves, serving as key points for maintenance planning and execution


The data from legacy system includes:

  1. Relevancy Criteria 2
  2. Relevancy Criteria 2

The data from legacy system excludes:

  1. Functional Location with system status - ‘INAC’ (Inactive)
  2. Exclusion Criteria 2

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

Conversion will involve both Source System Extraction as well as using DCT (Data Collection Template) - 

The high-level process for Source System Extraction is represented by the diagram below:

image-2025-6-9_14-37-29.png


For sites that are not on SAP-PF2 and WP2 systems, collection will be done manually in the data collection template.

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

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
