The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create Measurement Document in S/4 HANA.
Measurement documents are used to record measurement readings on the condition of an equipment e.g. temperature. It is also used to record counter readings of an equipment e.g. Engine Running hours. This counter readings will be the trigger for maintenance plan to initiate maintenance and/or inspection work.
The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active Measurement Document from Legacy Source Systems into S/4HANA.
At Syensqo, Measurement Documents are created for Measuring Points 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. The Measurement Documents are also a core component of Asset Performance Management (APM) used to monitor asset health, detect trends, and trigger condition-based or predictive maintenance actions.
The approach is to migrate the last Measurement Document for each active Measuring Point which is driving the active Maintenance Plans and Items in order to start the Maintenance Plan in S/4 HANA with the objective to continue with the cycle. For Measurement Documents related to APM, up to three years of historical data will be migrated from legacy systems to ensure seamless continuity in asset monitoring, trend analysis, and maintenance decision-making within the S/4 HANA.
Note: Digital Local Indicators (eg Sensor Data available in Startek) are not in scope for migration as these will be mass created via Custom Development Program (ERP-582)

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.
| ID | Criticality | Error Message/Report Description | Rule | Output | Source System |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9002-001 | C3 | Info Report: Missing Measurement Document for Measuring Points assigned to Maintenance Plan | If the Measuring Point is assigned to a relevant Maintenance Plan, it must have valid and relevant Measurement Documents. This is the pre-requisite for Maintenanance Plant Start. | Maintenance Plan, Maintenance Plan Text, Measuring Point, Measuring Point Description, Plant Note: Plant is derived from either the FL/EQ Maintenance Plant | PF2, WP2 |
