Purpose

The purpose of this document is to define the conversion approach to create in S/4 HANA.


Conversion Scope

The scope of this document covers the approach for converting active from Legacy Source Systems into S/4HANA following the Master Data Design Standard.


The data from legacy system includes:

The data from legacy system excludes:


List of source systems and approximate number of records

Conversion Process

The following represents the high-level process for DCT:



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

Data Collection Template (DCT)

Target Ready Data Collection Template will be created for data with exception of some fields which require transformation as mentioned in the transformation rule.

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

Pre-Load Validation

Project Team

Completeness

TaskAction

Verify Record Count 

Data team to verify that the total number of relevant records from the source systems is equal to the total number of records in the Preload and Load Sheets.






Accuracy

TaskAction

Conversion Accuracy

Data team to verify that all fields below meet pass the checks:

1. Mandatory Fields

2. Field and Value Mapping Correctness

3. Null Checks

4. Text Length Checks

Review error reports

Review and correct the errors.  Achieve a zero-error record count as much as possible. Raise defects for data remediated and requiring a correction in the source data.




Business

Completeness

TaskAction

Verify Record Count 

Business team to verify that the total number of relevant records from the source systems is equal to the total number of records in the Preload and Load Sheets.






Accuracy

TaskAction

Conversion Accuracy

Business  to verify that all the data in the load table/file is accurate as per endorsed transformation/mapping rules (and signed-off data) 






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

Verify Count

Data team to verify the record count created in target S/4 HANA by accessing post load reports in dspMigrate or standard reports from S/4 HANA.

Verify Logs

Check if there is data that failed to load and perform the necessary actions (e.g. register as post load issue, or attempt to load the record again, etc.).




Accuracy

TaskAction

Conversion Accuracy

Data team to verify that the Measuring Point data in target S/4 HANA were loaded correctly via dspMigrate post load reports or standard reports from S/4 HANA. 






Business

Completeness

TaskAction

Verify Count

Download Post Load Reports from dspMigrate and verify that the record count loaded in the target S/4 HANA is the same count as of the endorsed load file.






Accuracy

TaskAction

Conversion Accuracy

Verify that the Measuring Point data in target S/4 HANA were loaded correctly via dspMigrate post load reports or standard reports from S/4 HANA.






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.
  • Data cleansing has met the required percentage threshold for the specified mock cycle and all preparation activities have been completed.
