The SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit is an alternative to LSMW with more features and better control for
Data Migration.

Introduction of Data Migration Cockpit was done in SAP S/4HANA Release 1610 in the On Premise Version.

Data migration cockpit facilitates the transfer of master data / business data from source system to SAP
S/4 Hana system. The migration cockpit uses migration objects to identify and transfer the relevant data. It
contains information about the relevant source and target structures as well as and the relationships
between these structures. It also contains mapping information for the relevant elds, as well as any rules
used to convert the values that are migrated from source elds to target elds. SAP provides standard
prede ned migration objects which are ready to use objects, we can alter these objects as well for our
custom needs.

Data Migration is managed with three Transactions:

LTMOM : Migration Object Modeler

Dear Ravi,

Nice blog!

However, how well is the product tested? Any reference implementations? How well does the product
handle numeric input?

Regards

Dear Ravi,

are customers allowed to use MWB?

As far as I know a customer need to require a license to use MWB.
