As part of the introduction of a group-wide S/4HANA system, the migration of SoftM debtors, including all partner functions, contact persons, office/field staff and credit management data, will be carried out by transferring them to the S/4HANA business partner concept. Customer material, info records and output control data will also be migrated. The transfer is performed on the basis of customized SAP XML templates generated from the S/4HANA Migration Cockpit.
Supplement
The SoftM data required for the migration is extracted in Excel files. Only the data of the relevant past years are selected by time limitation. A self-developed MS Access application is used for the migration and preparation of accounts receivable and partner data due to the extensive mapping, as well as the cleansing and enrichment of data and the supply of customer-specific fields. The output of the MS Access application is used to fill the SAP XML templates from the S/4HANA Migration Cockpit. The SAP XML templates are validated and imported with the S/4HANA Migration Cockpit (LTMC). A total of 12,000 partner data, 1,500 customer material info records and 500 output conditions are extracted, cleansed, mapped, extended and successfully imported into the S/4HANA system.
Subject description
A particular challenge is the comprehensive mapping of SoftM source data to the new S/4HANA value tables and target structures as well as the coordination of the mapping and data enrichment with the participating business units financial accounting and sales.
