The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create Measuring Point in S/4 HANA.
Measuring point represents a physical or logical place at which a status or measurement is described. E.g. Temperature of the coolant or running hours of a motor.
The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active Measuring Point from Legacy Source Systems into S/4HANA following the Measuring Point Master Data Design Standard.
At Syensqo, Measuring Points are used to monitor the condition and usage of assets. They provide critical input to support condition-based and usage-based maintenance strategies. Measuring Points are created on either Functional Locations or Equipment, depending on the asset structure and monitoring requirement.
Syensqo primarily uses the following three types of Measuring Points:
1. Static Measuring Points
Static Measuring Points are used to capture snapshot values of an asset’s condition at a specific point in time. These readings represent parameters such as temperature, pressure, or vibration. The data collected through measurement documents enables trend analysis, which helps in assessing the health and performance of the asset.
Example: Monitoring equipment temperature over time.
2. Counter Measuring Points
Counter Measuring Points are used to capture the cumulative usage of an asset. These points incrementally track metrics such as operating hours, production cycles, or distance travelled. Measurement documents recorded at these points are often used to trigger maintenance plans based on usage, as per the maintenance strategy assigned to the asset.
Example: Tracking total operating hours of a motor.
3. Catalog Measuring Points
Catalog Measuring Points utilize predefined catalog codes to record qualitative or classified conditions observed during asset inspections. These codes represent specific condition statuses or fault categories. The selected catalog entry reflects the assessment of the asset’s condition, typically after a physical or visual check.
The data from legacy system includes:
The data from legacy system excludes:
Is not Category A (IFLOT-FLTYP)
Has active user status (JEST-INACT) as "Maintenance Not Allowed" (JEST-STAT, TJ30T-TXT30)

Measuring Point Data strictly adheres to the Master Data Standard. The complete information of the key fields that hold the Measuring Point information follows the Master Data Standard document that is located here.
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.
