Purpose

The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to upload Materials - Class Type 001 into S/4 HANA as part of the Material Data Migration.

Link to MDS: DD-FUN-050 Master Data Standard_2017-Material master - Class Type 001

Conversion Scope

The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active Class data linked to Class Type 001 from Legacy Source Systems into S/4HANA following the Material Master Data Design Standard.

A To-Be set of Classes linked to Class Type 001 will be defined by the Business and the Functional Team. This will be a combination of new and existing Classes.

The new classes with all their details will be captured in a DCT.

This DCT will also be used to capture the existing Classes that will be migrated into the Target. Note that only the descriptions with languages in the Core or Additional list will be migrated.

Service Master records that will become Materials in the target are out of scope. See the mail from Simran. Service Master Data Used in 2017 CLASS TYPE 001 in S4H.pdf

WP2: 22,838 (3,001 **)

** No Classes are linked to Service Materials
