The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create Project Budget in S/4 HANA.
In the Syway Project budget is used to assign active availability control on Capital Projects while providing a binding financial plan for budget managed Operating Projects.
The scope of this document covers the approach to maintain Project Budgets in S/4HANA.
A report is executed to transfer budget from the PPM item, migrated as per CNV-9035 Portfolio Item - Financial Plan, to Level 1 WBS elements and a DCT provides the option to distribute budget to Phase Level WBS elements where this is required.
Relevancy Criteria
The scope of migration is all projects created from PPM items, where the PPM item has Approved funding.
For Project (WBS Level 1) Budget - Migrate PPM item financial view Approved Funding(Object 9035), this to include budget for closed projects
Only Current overall budget will be loaded from legacy, without differentiation for applied variations.
For item types with phase level templates (eg Industrial Project with Qualification, Industrial Projects, IT Full Lifecycle Project, R&I New Product Introduction)
a DCT template will be provide to allow for budget distribution to phase level where this is required
List of source systems and approximate number of records
| Source | Scope | Source Approx No. of Records | Target System | Target Approx No. of Records |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S/4 | PPM items with level 1 WBS elements | 5000 | S/4 Hana | 5000 |
| DCT | Budget for level 2 WBS elements | TBD | S/4 Hana | TBD |
Budget to be loaded in the instance where WBS element is loaded.

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.
| Table | Field | Data Element | Field Description | Data Type | Length | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BPGE | OBJNR | BP_OBJEKT | Object number | CHAR | 22 | Mandatory |
| BPGE | WRTTP | CO_WRTTP | Value Type | CHAR | 2 | Mandatory |
| BPGE | VERSN | BP_VERSION | Version | NUMC | 4 | Mandatory |

Cleansing is done on the master data objects to which the budgets relate, no specific budget cleansing is required.
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.

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

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
| Req # | Requirement Description | Team Responsible |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ensure DCT is collected | Data Team |
| 2 | Perform preliminary completeness check, data quality check. | Data Team |
| 3 | Raise issues as defects if Req # 1 to 2 are not met | Data Team |
| 4 | Repeat Req # 1 to 3 if required | Data Team |

Project Budget DCT Rules
Completion of the DCT is only for Projects where assignment of budget is required at phase level.
| Field Name | Field Description | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| PARENT | Item | The PPM items to which the phase is related. The values are restricted to PPM Items with Approved Funding values in CNV-9035 Portfolio Item - Financial Plan, This is a required field for capturing but not relevant for Preload validations. |
| PARENT_BUDGET | Level 1 Budget | Total approved funding The field displays the total Approved Funding for the item to which the WBS element is related. This is a calculated field assisting user with understanding the value available for assignment to the lower levels and is used in the preload validation of the Amount field. |
| POSID | WBS Element | This is a dropdown field of Phase level WBS Elements of the project selected. The values are restricted to the Level 2 WBS elements created in CNV-1022 and further restricted by the PARENT selected. This is a required field. |
| WTGES | Amount | The budget assigned to the phase Preload validation the Sum of Amount fields for all POSID's linked to the same PARENT may not be more than the PARENT_BUDGET |
No extraction required
| Item # | Step Description | Team Responsible |
|---|
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:
| Item # | Step Description | Team Responsible |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Obtain DCT Sign-off from Business | Data team |
| 2 | Execute Load and perform Transformation | Data team |
| 3 | Monitor the transformation progress and ensure performance and completion is within allowed timeframe | Data team |
| 4 | Review and Validate Error and Preload Reports | Data Team |
| 5 | Generate data load count. | Data team |
| 6 | Generate Load Files | Data Team |
| 7 | Log errors as defects, if any and address resolutions. Close defects. | Data team |
| 8 | Re-transform and re-validate the Pre-load reports if necessary. | Data team |
| 9 | Validate the transformed file as part of pre-load validation, raise data defects or provide the pre-load sign-off. | Business |
| 10 | Analyze and resolve any pre-load defects logged by business. | Data team |
| 11 | Repeat steps 7 to 10 if necessary | Data team |
| 12 | Proceed to pre-load validations | Data team |
Transformation Rules
List of Custom Target Reports for this object is maintained here: Conversion Specification - Custom Reports Register.
