The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach of Profit Centre Group (Alt, Std Hierarchy)s into S/4 HANA.
The document details out the field list, extraction criteria, scoping, mapping of Profit Centre Group (Alt, Std Hierarchy)s.
Note: Profit 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.
Profit 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 | Profit Centre Group (Alt, Std Hierarchy) | TBD | S4HANA | |
| WP2 | Profit Centre Group (Alt, Std Hierarchy) | TBD | S4HANA |
In the Syensqo Profit 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 Profit 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 Profit 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.

Summarize High-Level Process. Include diagrams, where applicable. Include information supporting details of Extract, Transform and Load specific to the Data Object

Extract data from a source into Syniti Migrate. There are 2 possibilities:
The agreed Relevancy criteria is applied to the extracted records to identify the records that are applicable for the Target loads

| Field Name | Field description | Rule |
| KOKRS | Controlling Aera | Default to 'CO01' |
| SETHEADER-SETNAME | Set Name | The standard hierarchy will be organized via the following structure: - GBU / Company Code / Plant / Function The standard hierarchy will only include authorization relevant dimensions for cost centers. All reporting dimension can be covered via alternative (flexible) hierarchies |
| SETHEADERT-DESCRIPT | Description | Group description |
| SETNODE-SETNAME | Parent Group Name | The code of the parent group. If node 2, it refers to node 1. If node 1 : no reference. |
| SETNODE-SUBSETNAME | Child Group Name | The code of the child group. If node 1, it refers to node 2. If node 2 : no reference as it will be directly profit center values. For the values, refer to the field Set Name. |
| SETLEAF-SETNAME | Group Node Name | Changes based on the length of the item/package. |
| SETLEAF-VALUE | Profit Center Code | ID of the Profit center assigned to the Group (node of the standard or alternative hierarchy). The Profit center ID is defined within Profit center master data and not within the hierarchy. The field here is just to display. |
| SETLEAF-VALFROM | Valid-From Date | Validity date of the profit center. display only. Defined at PC level. It is just displayed here. |
| SETLEAF-VALTO | Valid-To Date | Validity date of the profit center. display only. Defined at PC level. It is just displayed here. |
Suggestion to add:
Decimal validation - Check table TCURX for the document currency key and if Decimals (TCURX-CURRDEC) is ‘0’, validate that no decimal value is populated.
