Purpose

The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to migrate GL line items relating to VAT (input / output) in S/4 HANA.

Scope of the migration is based on deferred tax linked to migrated AP OPEN ITEMS (9006), AP SPECIAL GL OPEN ITEMS (9007), AR OPEN ITEMS (9008), AR SPECIAL GL OPEN ITEMS (9009) and GL OPEN ITEMS (9010). The deferred tax codes will be mapped in a DCT/table by country / company. If such tax codes are part of the 5 objects (GL/AP/AR) scope ie same document number/year/company code combination, the respective BSET data will be extracted for migration together with each object.

Line items will contribute to the current year to date balance of the respective tax gl accounts. For reconciliation, the line item totals will be excluded from trial balance migration totals.

Amounts in legacy involve local currency, local currency2 and local currency3 eg. hard currency and group currency. All currencies will be loaded accordingly unless there is a change in company design where local / group currency changes. Rates are as per the historical postings unless specific requirement calls for a fixed rate eg. group currency rate for consolidation purposes. Offsetting gl account is migration account for AP, AR, GL. Legacy offsetting GL accounts in legacy documents will not be considered in this migration scope, they will be migrated in other objects scope eg. GL open item or GL balances.

There will be no migration of non-deferred tax items ie. history of input / output tax will remain in legacy system. Current year tax reports will be a combination of legacy system data and S4 system data after go-live.


Conversion Scope

The scope of this document covers the approach for converting tax items with AP/AR open items from Legacy Source Systems into S/4HANA. 


The data from legacy system includes:

  1. deferred tax items related to AP/AR open items

The data from legacy system excludes:

  1. non deferred tax items

Data Privacy and Sensitivity


Extraction

Extract data from a source into . There are 2 possibilities:

  1. The data exists. 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 ; 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 . This is to be conducted using DCT (Data Collection Template) in

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

Mandatory field check.
Based on S/4HANA target design fields, account field status groups and tax settings

Check if records have all mandatory fields filled and mapped, otherwise they should be flagged as error.


Check signage of amount.

Check whether source data (including DCT) has debit and credit entries in the same line. If sign is the same in all the three currency fields, then no action needed.

If the sign in the document currency and company code currency field are different, then the document needs to be corrected in the source system or DCT.

Ensure all transactions have values in Document Currency and Local Currency
(i.e. no 0.00 allowed) 

Reconciliation of total

Record Count

Check the sum of record count of the AP/AR tax items in the load file is the same as source. The record count for AP/AR tax items will be done on the group basis. The fields in the group are consist of: Company Code, tax code


Check Amount in Document Currency and Local Currency

Check the sum of the amount in Document Currency and Local Currency in load file is the same as source. If any of the sum is different, flag the record as error.

Load

The load process includes:

  1. Execute the automated data load into target system using load tool or product the load file if the load must be done manually
  2. Once the data is loaded to the target system, it will be extracted and prepared for Post Load Data Validation

Post-Load Validation

Project Team

Completeness

TaskAction
Reconciliation of Record Count

Total number of records loaded for AP/AR tax items will be generated in the Post-load reports in tool based on the target table and fields mentioned

The reconciliation needs to be executed on the total number of ‘valid’ records and currency amount per company code in the source compared to total number of records and currency amount in S/4HANA

Record Count

Check the sum of record count of the tax items in the load file is the same as S/4HANA. The record count for AP/AR tax items will be done on the group basis. The fields in the group are consist of: Company Code, deferred tax code

Check Amount in Document Currency and Local Currency

Check on line item level that the sum of the amount in Document Currency and Local Currency in the load file is the same as posted in S/4HANA. If any of the sum is different, flag the record as error.


Accuracy

TaskAction
Check values in key fields for accuracy

Post-load reports will have the same structure as the load file and some additional columns as required to facilitate the post load validation.

Leverage on tool to create a Post Load report that reports S/4HANA loaded records along with the legacy values side-by-side to allow for 100% check of all these fields in the shortest possible time.

Any mismatch will be reported under the Post Load - Error report.




Business

Completeness

TaskAction
Record Count Check

Review the record count report from the Data Team and ensure it is correct by cross-checking with the record count confirmed during Pre-load Business Validations


Business may also run VAT reports or equivalent report in Fiori App to display loaded AP/AR tax items in S/4HANA and compare results against the pre-load reports generated from tool.

Accuracy

TaskAction
tax items totalsCheck deferred VAT totals by Company code. Totals should be checked in Document, Local and Group currency.
Spot checkBusiness should choose some tax codes and perform comprehensive check of tax items etc. Such companies should have huge number of tax items or have certain complexity in conversion.


Key Assumptions

  • Master Data Standard is up to date as on the date of documenting this conversion approach and data load. 
  • is in scope based on data design and any exception requested by business.
