Purpose

The purpose of the document is to define the data conversion approach to create Business Partners – 3rd Party Suppliers through FLVN01 Supplier Role including Purchasing Organization,  partner function views in S/4 HANA.

In SAP ECC, the Vendor Master Purchasing View (including the Partner Functions) is part of the Vendor Master Data, which is used to store vendor-related information for purchasing transactions. The setup typically involves maintaining vendor records separately for different purchasing organizations..

In SAP S/4HANA, the Vendor Purchasing View is integrated into the Business Partner (BP) model, which replaces the traditional customer/vendor objects from ECC. The Business Partner serves as a central entity, allowing a single record to hold multiple roles (e.g., customer and vendor). The Vendor Purchasing View in S/4HANA is represented under the BP role FLVN001, which contains-specific data such as purchasing organization, purchasing group, payment terms, purchasing currency, incoterms, shipping conditions and partner functions.


Conversion Scope

The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active Vendor Master purchasing attributes records from Legacy Source Systems into Business Partner – Supplier Role FLVN001 in S/4 HANA following the Vendor Master Data Design Standard.

MDS and Conversion Specification is referring to the tables and fields - LFA1: Supplier Master (General Section),LFA1: Vendor tax data, LFBK - Vendor bank data, LFBW-Withholding tax data which will be part of 3007-Business Partners - General (Role 000000 ETL and design.

Tables Includes for the CNV-3026 Business Partners – 3rd Party Suppliers (FLVN001) are:

  1. LFM1: Vendor master record purchasing organization data
  2. WYT3: Partner Functions


Relevancy Rule

The data from legacy system includes:

  1. Vendors which pass Relevancy Rules under Data Object (3007-Business Partners - General (Role 000000)):
  2. Should be created to Purchasing Organization 'inscope' based on Enterprise Structure Catalog
  3. Should be extended to Standard list(approved list) of Partner Functions (based on MDS-3026).
  4. Vendors’ relevant purchasing data with potential duplicate records
  5. Vendors’ relevant purchasing data with potential missing information such as partner function, bank, tax, etc related fields

The data from legacy system excludes:

  1. Vendors blocked or marked for deletion.
  2. Vendors extended in Purchasing organization which are not is scope based on Enterprise Structure.
  3. Inactive vendors with no transactions based on the relevancy criteria of CNV-3007
  4. Employee Vendor where account group LFA1-KTOKK is ('ZZPE' in PF2, 'Z012' in WP2) 
  5. Intercompany Vendor Class LFA1-ZZR_SEGT_ATTR is 'G'
  6. Commission Agent where account group LFA1-KTOKK is 'ZXAG'(removed on 28/09 by JM)
  7. Catalog Supplier where Attribute 6 LFA1-ZZLATR6 is not BLANK(removed on 28/09 by JM)

Supplier role is applicable only for legally registered entities and strictly adheres to Master Data Standards (MDS) which elaborates out these criteria and other requirements such as Partner Function, being mandatory information used across Business Partner. 

Identified relevant suppliers from the Global level relevancy. Relevant suppliers with valid purchasing organization extensions in source systems will be in-scope for deduplication analysis.

Deduplication exercise will check duplicates at purchasing organization level and business will choose the source of supplier role attributes to be used for migration. Otherwise, if record has no duplicates, it automatically becomes the source for supplier master data transformation.

Conversion Process

The high-level process is represented by the diagram below:

The ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process is a structured approach to data migration and management, ensuring high-quality data is seamlessly transferred across systems. Here’s a breakdown of its key components:

1. Extraction
The process begins with extracting metadata and raw data from source systems, such as Syensqo ECC system (i.e., WP2/PF2) periodically. The extracted data is then staged for transformation.


2. Transformation
Once extracted, the data undergoes cleansing, consolidation, and governance. This step ensures data integrity, consistency, and compliance with business rules. The transformation process includes:
- Data validation to remove inconsistencies.
- Standardization to align formats across datasets.
- Business rule application to refine data for operational use.


3. Loading
The transformed data is then loaded into the target S4 Hana system using migration cockpit. 


Deduplication

Purchasing Organization extensions from Vendors identified in global relevancy and will undergo a deduplication exercise to determine record source of purchasing data for Business Partner – 3rd Party Suppliers.

This is where business needs to select which record to use as valid source of Purchasing Organization data.

Parent and child approach will be used for selection of golden record.  


Scenario 1: Non-Duplicate Vendor (Global) having multiple active Purchasing Organization extensions

Vendor has no duplicates at global level.  However, vendor has multiple Purchasing Organization data within same name, country, etc. 


Scenario 2: Duplicate Vendors (Global) having multiple active Purchasing Organizations

Duplication of vendor exist in Vendor Global duplicate group and extended to same purchasing organization.


Data Privacy and Sensitivity



Extraction

Extract data from a source into Syniti Migrate for SAP relevant entities. There are 2 possibilities:

  1. The data exists. Syniti Migrate connects to the source and loads the data into . There are 3 methods:
    1. Perform full data extraction from relevant tables in the source system(s).
    2. Perform extraction through the application layer.
    3. Only if Syniti Migrate; cannot connect to the source, data is loaded to the repository from the provided source system extract/report.
  2. The data does not exist (or cannot be converted from its current state).  The data is manually collected by the business directly in Syniti Migrate. This is to be conducted using DCT (Data Collection Template) in Syniti Migrate

The agreed Relevancy criteria is applied to the extracted records to identify the records that are applicable for the Target loads

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 to make the data Target ready:

  1. Perform value mapping and data transformation rules.
    1. Legacy values are mapped to the to-be values (this could include a default value)
    2. Values are transformed according to the rules defined in
  2. 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

Error Handling


Error TypeError DescriptionAction Taken

Configuration

Configuration value for the field is not valid/missing

If it is a missing configuration item then engage Functional team to expedite and fix the error in the system.

Invalid Data

Configuration value for the field is not valid.

The parameter entry needs to be reviewed (ex. invalid payment terms).

If it is an invalid data, business needs to review and correct the source of the data either in PF2/WP2 or if it’s mapped in DCT.

Technical Setup

Interface / Connection issue within target system’s landscape

N/A – the data will be loaded directly to S/4HANA environment

Authorization Error

<USER ID> is not authorized to access Business Partner create

Contact Basis to obtain Fire Fighter ID (or SyWay S4 approved data loading ID) or fix the authorization setup
