The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create Maintenance Planning Bucket in S/4 HANA.
A Maintenance Planning Bucket is a logical container or grouping tool used by maintenance planners to organize and manage maintenance orders and notifications for a specific time period and scope. The scope of a planning bucket includes time, but also other important attributes of the maintenance jobs.
The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active Revision from Legacy Source Systems into Maintenance Planning Bucket in S/4HANA.
In Syensqo, Maintenance Planning Buckets are primarily used to release maintenance orders, enabling material staging, permit processing, and job scheduling, while preventing further structural changes to the planning data.
There are currently two types of revisions in the source systems:
The conversion scope will include only the migration of Event-Based revisions into Maintenance Planning Buckets. Weekly revisions will be handled as part of cutover activities and triggered via batch jobs.
However, from a conversion perspective, the mapping from legacy to target Maintenance Planning Buckets for Weekly revisions will still be maintained. This ensures that downstream objects—such as Notifications and Work Orders—can correctly map to the target Maintenance Planning Bucket.
The data from legacy system includes:
1. All valid legacy Revision based on Maintenance Plants in scope
The data from legacy system excludes:
1. Weekly Revisions
| Source | Scope | Source Approx No. of Records | Target System | Target Approx No. of Records |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PF2, WP2 | Valid Revisions | 3,000 | S/4HANA | 3,000 |
| DCT | Revisions for plants which do not have data existing from PF2 and PF2 | nnn | S/4HANA | nnn |
Revision does not have multi language support. Revision text will be migrated using EN logon.

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.

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.
