Purpose
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. These counter readings will be the trigger for maintenance plan to initiate maintenance and/or inspection work.
Conversion Scope
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 requirements. 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)
The data from legacy system includes:
- (Counter Plan related) Latest Measurement Document Reading for active (IMPTT-INACT<>"X") Measuring Point that is a counter (IMPTT-INDCT) and linked to an active Maintenance Plan (MMPT-POINT) and linked to Functional Location /Equipment assigned to relevant plant in scope
- Active Maintenance Plan is when the System Status (TJ02T-TXT04) is not "DLFL"
- For the relevant plants in scope, refer to Value Mapping: Plant (Maintenance Plant = Yes) (IFLOT-IWERK /EQUI-IWERK)
- (APM Related) Measurement Documents for active (IMPTT-INACT<>"X") Measuring Points (IMPTT-MPOBJ) for Functional Locations and Equipment for the past 3 years (IMRG-IDATE), limited to:
</Start CR0282>
- Legacy Functional Location listed in the report [Equipment related to APM] or [Functional Location related to APM]
- Legacy Equipment listged in the report [Equipment related to APM]
specific Technical Object Types (EQUI-EQART/IFLOT-EQART) based on Value Mapping: OTH_Technical Object Type_APMspecific plant (EQUI-IWERK/IFLOT-IWERK) based on Value Mapping: OTH_Plant_APM
</End CR0282>
The data from legacy system excludes:
- Measuring Documents with reversal indicator (IMRG-CANCL)
- Long Text for Measurement Document

Based on the above sample data, the following scenario and conclusion apply:
| Scenario | Conclusion | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Measurement Document 003 is to be extracted | Latest Counter Reading without reversal indicator |
List of source systems and approximate number of records
| Source | Scope | Source Approx No. of Records | Target System | Target Approx No. of Records |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DCT | Measurement Documents will be collected via DCT. An initial extract of the relevant Measurement Documents will be provided in google sheet format to assist business in decision making on including any relevant Measurement Documents from PF2 and WP2 as Measurement Documents in S/4 HANA. Any additional Measurement Documents that need to be created to support the new design may be added in the DCT. Please see an indication of what will be baselined from source systems below and what will be constructed in the DCT. Note: The decision to implement DCT only for Measuring Point and Measurement Document was based on the current business usage in SAP. The business has primarily been collecting relevant data outside of SAP. Additionally, it is not part of the current business process to create these Measuring Points and Measurement Documents in the system. Given that these two objects are not actively utilized and there are only a handful of Counter Based Maintenance Plans involved, the effort required to build the ETL process would not be justified at this time. | 5,000 | S/4HANA | 5,000 |
| DCT | Measurement Documents for plants which do not have data existing from PF2 and PF2 | TBD | S/4HANA | TBD |

Collection will be done manually in the Data Collection Template for the following scenarios:
- For sites not on SAP-PF2 or WP2 systems
- For Measurement Documents that need to be created to support the to-be design
Data Privacy and Sensitivity
Not Applicable.Extraction
Extract data from a source into Advanced Data Migration and Management (ADMM). There are 2 possibilities:
- The data exists. ADMM connects to the source and loads the data into ADMM . There are 3 methods:
- Perform full data extraction from relevant tables in the source system(s).
- Perform extraction through the application layer.
- Only if ADMM cannot connect to the source, data is loaded to the repository from the provided source system extract/report.
- The data does not exist (or cannot be converted from its current state). The data is manually collected by the business directly in ADMM . This is to be conducted using DCT (Data Collection Template) in ADMM
The agreed Relevancy criteria is applied to the extracted records as reference point to identify the records that are applicable for the data construction in the DCT.

Transformation
The Target fields are mapped to the applicable Legacy field that will be its source, this is a 3-way activity involving the Business, Functional team and Data team. This identifies the transformation activity required to allow ADMM to make the data Target ready:
- Perform value mapping and data transformation rules.
- Legacy values are mapped to the to-be values (this could include a default value)
- Values are transformed according to the rules defined in ADMM
- Prepare target-ready data in the structure and format that is required for loading via prescribed Load Tool. This step also produces the load data ready for business to perform Pre-load Data Validation

Key Assumptions
- Measurement Document is in scope based on data design and any exception requested by business.
- Data cleansing has met the required percentage threshold for the specified mock cycle and all preparation activities have been completed.
- Data entries in DCT are target-ready data unless a specific transformation rule is stated for that field in the transformation rules.
- When the Total Counter Reading is the same as the Counter Reading, the loading method for Normal Counter Reading Entry is adopted (Total Counter Reading can be left blank).
- When the Total Counter Reading is not the same as the Counter Reading, the loading method for Total Counter Reading Set Externally is adopted (both Counter Reading and Total Counter Reading is required).
- For Counter Based Plan, the last reading of the Measuring Document will be the input to the Start Counter of the Maintenance Plan Start object.
- All Measurement Document Text are loaded in English log in, as this does not make any difference when displaying the text in front end.
- The going in position for loading of Measurement Document is to combine Counter related and APM related data during the Cutover phase, judging by the speed of load which will not affect the critical path during the cutover window. If the need arises during the loading phase of the various Mock Cycles, then the loads can be split into Pre-Cutover (APM related) and Cutover (Counter related) by re-using an existing field in the system generated target.
</Start CR0282>
- APM related Measurement Documents will be based on the Measuring Points assigned to a list of Functional Location and Equipment generated after the transformation of the respective object. The list will be based on the original requirement (Mapping of APM related Technical Object Type and Mapping of APM related Plants)
