The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach of Cost Centre Group (Alt, Std Hierarchy)s into S/4 HANA.
The document details out the field list, extraction criteria, scoping, mapping of Cost Centre Group (Alt, Std Hierarchy)s.
Note: Cost centre standard and alternate hierarchies will be constructed newly based on the new organizational design. Therefore, even though extracting and transforming of source hierarchy is an option, that will not be used. Instead, a DCT( Data Construction Template) will be used to collect the new hierarchy details.
As per the current implementation approach, any alternative hierarchies, if applicable, will be uploaded exclusively through the Manage Global Hierarchies application and not via LSMW. Should there be a requirement to upload any alternative hierarchy using LSMW, this specification is designed to accommodate such a scenario. At this stage, there is no anticipated requirement for the inclusion of alternative hierarchies within the migration scope.
Cost Centre Group (Alt, Std Hierarchy)s 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 | Cost Centre Group (Alt, Std Hierarchy) | TBD | S4HANA | TBD |
| WP2 | Cost Centre Group (Alt, Std Hierarchy) | TBD | S4HANA | TBD |
In the Syensqo Cost Centre Group (Alt, Std Hierarchy)s, 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 Cost Centre Group (Alt, Std Hierarchy)s 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 Cost Centre Group (Alt, Std Hierarchy)s.
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.

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.

DCT Rules will be used by the data collectors for collecting data.
Note: Constructed data will be imported into ADM Data Construction page.
There will be two pages -
1. Main page to contain the hierarchy details with EN Language key Description
2. Detailed Page will contain descriptions SETHEADERT-LANGU, ( SETHEADERT-DESCRIPT ) of the SETHEADER-SETNAME in various languages as they are collected.

Loading of standard hierarchy: Load Template is different from the data collection template. Loading of standard hierarchy will be done using LSMW with Idoc ( COSTCENTERGROUP_CREATE_01) as the technology behind.
Loading of Alternate hierarchy: Loading of alternate hierarchy will be done using LSMW with Idoc ( COSTCENTERGROUP_CREATE_01) as the technology behind. However, some fiori based app will be explored to check if that could be used for upload alternate hierarchy. In this option, loading is done using either the "Manage Global Hierarchies" (F2918) or "Manage Flexible Hierarchies" (F2759) app in your Fiori launchpad.
Loading of Descriptions in various Languages: Loading of descriptions in various languages will be done using tcode SE63.
Three exports views will be required to upload this object.
Export view 1.
Please generate an export view for the load template as in the table below, details of mapping of fields between DCT to load template.

VALU1 = DCT Field SUBSETNAME
VALU2 = DCT Field LINEID
VALU3 = 0 for standard hierarchy and count of VALFROM for combination of other fields ( LNIND, Parent, VALU1, VALU2 )
VALU4 = DCT Field DESCRIPT

Note: Description translation data which will be given in the export view 3, will be loaded using tcode SE63. LSMW will be created based on the tcode SE63 to enable mass upload of this data. However, further checks will be done to check if some Fiori App could be used for uploading.
Note: Once the data is loaded to the target system, it will be extracted and prepared for Post Load Data Validation with side by side check of each fields in scope of the objects with fields to be displayed as XXXX_DCT, XXXX_S4HANA, XXXX_MATCH ( As TRUE or FALSE) with an additional column denoting fields not matching and status of loading in S/4HANA as LOADED_IN_S4HANA ( As TRUE or FALSE)
