Purpose

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

In legacy ECC systems (PF2, WP2), materials relevant to waste management and emissions are identified by tagging existing materials with specific roles or classifications, along with associated physical-chemical properties used for regulatory compliance. These materials are managed within the Material Master (migrated separately by the S2P team), but the environmental tagging and properties reside in EHS-related tables

Conversion Scope

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

In S/4HANA, Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) functionality provides dedicated Fiori apps where users assign environmental roles to existing materials:

Transport and Disposal Logistics role for Waste-relevant materials

Emissions role for Emission-relevant materials

Physical-chemical properties relevant to waste or emissions are maintained per material.

This conversion specifically focuses on migrating:

Material-level role assignments as Waste or Emission relevant

Associated physical-chemical properties per material and region

The data from legacy system includes:

1. Materials flagged as Waste-relevant or Emission-relevant
2. Role assignments linking materials to environmental classifications
3. Physical-chemical properties linked to these materials for compliance
4. Country or region-specific tagging relevant to regulatory needs

The data from legacy system excludes:

1. Core Material Master data (already migrated by S2P team)

2. Actual waste quantities, volumes, or emissions data (thresholds, limits)

Conversion Process

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

For every material in source system of material type WAST, a material has to be created in target system.

Extract all materials from MARA from source system and filter with material type WAST. For these materials, create material using manage material data fiori app or automated process.

Also, need to update properties, waste code details for the materials using the same fiori app "manage material data" or automated process.

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

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

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.
