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 planning data.
Some of the key information required to support Maintenance Planning Buckets is not consistently maintained in the source systems.
There are currently two categories of revisions:
These revision types are typically distinguished by a Revision Type. However, this field is not used in the source systems, despite being a key identifier for differentiating revision behaviour. In addition, revision dates are not maintained even when the they are reused across open transactional data.
From a conversion perspective, the scope includes only the creation of Event-Based revisions into Event-Based Maintenance Planning Buckets. Weekly revisions will be handled during cutover activities and triggered via batch jobs, which will be owned by the core Functional team..
That said, to support data continuity, the mapping from legacy revisions to target Maintenance Planning Buckets for Weekly revisions will still be maintained as part of conversion. This ensures that downstream objects - such as Notifications and Work Orders - can correctly reference the appropriate target Maintenance Planning Bucket.
Many of the key fields required for Maintenance Planning Buckets do not exist in the Revision object in the source systems.
Given this, and considering the estimated data volume, this object will be fully constructed. However, a source system report will still be required to supplement specific information needed to support the target system requirements.
The data from legacy system includes:
The data from legacy system excludes:
| 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9101-001 | C1 | Incomplete Revision Start and End Dates | Revision as per Relevancy Criteria where either Start or End Date is not available
| Plant, Revision, Description, Start Date, End Date | PF2, WP2 |
