1 Purpose

SAP S/4HANA customers can take advantage of template-based migration built into SAP S/4HANA using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit together with a set of predefined data migration
objects.
Customers using template files to migrate data using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit should choose the "Local SAP S/4HANA Database Schema" in the "Database Connection" field.
Note SAP S/4HANA refers to the default on-premise suite on the SAP HANA platform, SAP S/4HANA Cloud refers to our cloud suite on SAP Cloud Platform.
This document provides a detailed procedure for testing this scope item after solution activation, reflecting the predefined scope of the solution. Each process step, report, or item is covered in its
own section, providing the system interactions (test steps) in a table view. Steps that are not in scope of the process but are needed for testing are marked accordingly. Project-specific steps must be
added.
Data protection legislation may require that personal data is deleted once the data has served its originally defined purpose and is also no longer subject to additional legal data retention
requirements. If data protection legislation is applicable in your case, then migrating personal data which should have been deleted could be interpreted as the processing of personal data without any
legally justified purpose.
Migration objects are built for initial migration of your data to your SAP S/4HANA or SAP S/4HANA Cloud system. This means that you can create data with a migration object, but you can't
change or update existing data with it.
For some migration objects there are "Extend" migration objects available, that you can use to extend existing data to other organizational levels. If you want to change or update existing data, use
the respective maintenance apps (available for all business objects) or mass processing apps (these are only available for selected business objects). Please note that such apps fall outwith the
responsibility of data migration development.

7.1 FAQs
For frequently asked questions regarding migrating data using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit, see SAP Knowledge Base Article 2733253.

7.2 General Topics and Limitations

7.2.1 Migration Template File Size


The default size limit for each uploaded file is 100MB. If required, you can increase this limit to 160MB. For on-premise systems, parameter icm/HTTP/max_request_size_KB controls the size of
the http request. The value of this parameter is the maximum size (in KB) of an HTTP request. This parameter has the standard value 102400KB (100MB) but can be changed if required. For more
information, see help on the icm/HTTP/max_request_size_KB parameter in the SAP Help Portal.
You can upload multiple XML files at once by using a zip file. Note that the same restrictions regarding the file size limit apply.

7.2.2 Unit of Measure Conversion

7.2.3 ALE/IDoc Distribution After Data Migration


If you want to distribute data from your SAP S/4HANA or SAP S/4HANA Cloud system to other systems via Application Link Enabling (ALE), carefully read SAP Knowledge Base Article
2858316 before you start migrating the data using the migration cockpit.

7.3 Financials

7.3.1 Define Settings for Legacy Data Transfer (FINS_MIG_CTRL_1)

Migration Key Date/Posting Date for Financial Documents

Before you go live with SAP S/4HANA, you may want to do an initial transfer of open balances and open items from a legacy system to your SAP S/4HANA system. You transfer such data using
the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit.
To enable the cockpit to transfer your legacy financial transactional data properly, use the Define Settings for Legacy Data Transfer (FINS_MIG_CTRL_1) app to maintain the migration key date
on which you want to complete all preparatory activities for each company code before the actual data transfer.
Alternatively, you can use the FINS_MIG_CTRL_1 transaction in the backend to maintain the migration key date.
The migration key date must allow for you to complete the following actions:
● Complete all postings available up to this date, in full, in the source system
● Reconcile and close the journals in the source system for the period
● Extract source data and enter it into the migration templates
● Clean and convert data as needed
● Validate the imported data against your legacy system
The date chosen is usually the end of a period (month, quarter, year) since this will fit in with the normal reconciliation cycle.
Please note that the migration key date is also used as the posting date when the legacy data is actually transferred to your SAP S/4HANA system.
Set the Legacy Data Transfer Status for each migration key date provided:
● In Preparation: migration key date is still unclear (migration of transactional data is not possible)
● Ongoing: required for the initial data transfer (migration of transactional data is possible)
● Completed: after successful completion of the initial data transfer (migration of transactional data is not possible)
For the following financial objects, the posting date will be automatically derived by the predefined migration key date for the related company code which is maintained via the aforementioned app:
● FI - Accounts payable open item
● FI - Accounts receivable open item
● FI - G/L account balance and open/line item
● Material inventory balance
● FI - Historical balance (migration key date is required to allow the migration of historical balances only up until this initial transfer date)

Data Migration to SAP S/4HANA from File (BH5) PUBLIC


Purpose Error: Reference source not found 21
Exception

● For the financial object FI-CA - Open item, a field for posting date is available on the migration template. The posting date is marked as mandatory on the template and must be provided for each
data record. The migration key date has no additional effect on the provided posting date.
● For the financial object Fixed asset - Master data, use the FAA_CMP transaction to specify the data transfer date, document type, and the legacy data transfer status.

7.4 Logistics

7.4.1 Advanced Variant Configuration


To create objects of a configuration model, create the objects in the following order:

# Object Name Comments


1 ECM - Change master If you want to use a change number, create a new change number first.
2 Document info record
3 Characteristic Dependencies must be added manually.
4 Class
5 VC - Variant table structure
6 VC - Variant table entry
7 VC - Object dependencies Only for global dependencies. Create object dependencies with status Released. In case of a syntax error in the dependency the creation of this
dependency will be prevented.
8 Product
9 Object classification - General
template
10 VC - Constraint
11 VC - Dependency net
12 VC - Configuration profile
13 Material BOM
Note Migration of local dependencies is currently not supported for all objects. Please read the migration object documentation carefully to determine which objects support this.

7.4.2 How to Handle Cross-Plant Material Status and Plant-Specific Material Status
If you set the material status during initial load of the materials, consider that, depending on which status you want to assign, follow-on migration objects can't be posted as the posting may lead to an
error depending on the settings of the status.

Example

In SAP standard delivery, the material status '01' is configured in such a way that, during posting of inventory, you will receive an error message. Consider that by assigning the status, the use of the
material can be restricted. Depending on the status, the system issues either a warning message or an error message for follow-on postings. Therefore, SAP recommends that you consider this field
carefully so that you will not run into follow-on problems during the data migration process. You can easily set the content of these fields after the initial data migration using the Mass Maintenance
app.
The Master Data Specialist - Product Data (SAP_BR_PRODMASTER_SPECIALIST) business role provides you with several tiles to manage and start the Mass Maintenance app. The app can be
launched from the SAP Fiori launchpad. You can import a file with changed data (supported formats are Comma-Separated Values (CSV) and Office Open XML spreadsheet (XLSX). You have to
provide the following details:
● Which master data objects are updated.
● Which tables and fields to update and the respective values.
For further information, refer to the online documentation of the Mass Maintenance app.
