The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create Safety Certificate Template in S/4 HANA.
To enhance the level of safety, an additional safety component - Safety Certificate - can be assigned to work permit. A safety certificate represents the formal safety document that contains the safety protocols for effectively managing the risks associated with certain equipment and sites.
SAP Safety Certificate Templates are standardized forms used in SAP S/4HANA to manage workplace safety requirements. They allow planners to define safety precautions, link certificates to work permits, and ensure compliance with plant safety regulations. Templates streamline certificate creation by providing reusable structures tailored to specific activities or plants.
The scope of this document covers the approach for creating Safety Certificate Template into S/4HANA following the Safety Certificate Template Master Data Design Standard.
All Data for Safety Certificate Template are fully construted in the DCT.
The data from legacy system includes:

Note: There are no tables to extract from the source systems
| Source | Scope | Source Approx No. of Records | Target System | Target Approx No. of Records |

| DCT | All Safety Certificate Template data will be fully constructed, as it does not currently exist in the source systems and represents a new design in the to-be Syensqo landscape. | 400 | S/4 HANA | 400 |
Safety Certificate Template does not have multi language support. Safety Certificate Template text will be migrated using EN logon.

Safety Certificate Template Data strictly adheres to the Master Data Standard. The complete information of the key fields that hold the Safety Certificate Template information follows the Master Data Standard document that is located here.
Safety Certificate Template does not exist in the legacy system. Therefore, data cleansing is not applicable.
Data for the Safety Certificate Templat will be captured directly in the Data Collection Template (DCT) and any required refinement will be carried out during the data construction activity.

Target Ready Data Collection Template will be created for Safety Certificate Template data with exception of some fields which require transformation as mentioned in the transformation rule.
Note: All rules specified below should be documented as a tooltip in the DC Page.
Format:
1. Safety Certificate Template DCT Rules
| Field Name | Field Description | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| zSAFETYCERTIFICATE | Number | Mandatory. Staging identifier used to uniquely define a Safety Certificate Template. |
| SFTYCERTDESC | Description | Mandatory. Format: AAA-NNN
Example: CON-001, CON-002, etc. Note: Template will start with three letters, which will be a prefix for the type of safety certificate (e.g. CON for Confined Space, HOT for hot work, etc). This is followed by a running number. The prefix for the description must be aligned with the safety certificate template type setup in the configuration, e.g. the description of a confined space certificate can only be created for a confined space certificate template type. |
| MAINTENANCEPLANNINGPLANT | Maintenance Planning Plant | Mandatory. Allowed values: List from Value Mapping - Plant where Maintenance Plant = Yes |
| SAFETYCERTIFICATETYPE | Safety Certificate Template type | Mandatory. Must be a valid Safety Certificate Template Type (ISFTYCERTTMPLTYP). |

Note: During mocks and at go-live, "Current Date" should be treated as the "go-live" date. |
| SFTYCERTVALIDFRMTIME | Valid-From Time | Mandatory.
|
| SFTYCERTVALIDTODATE | Valid To | Mandatory.
Note: Referring to the note in Valid From, if a past date is provided, this will be set to the "go-live" date plus the difference between the originally provided Valid To date and Valid From date. |
| SFTYCERTVALIDTOTIME | Valid-To Time | Mandatory.
