Data Migration to SAP S/4HANA from Staging (2Q2) PUBLIC


Purpose Error: Reference source not found 2
1 Purpose

SAP S/4HANA Cloud customers can use the included SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit to migrate data. If the customer chooses to use the Migrate Data Using Staging Tables approach, the SAP
S/4HANA migration cockpit creates staging tables for the migration objects that are relevant for your project and migrates data from these staging tables to the target SAP S/4HANA Cloud system.
If you use the Local SAP S/4HANA Database Schema option, the SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit generates the staging tables in the local ABAP schema of the SAP S/4HANA Cloud system. We
recommend using this option if you want to populate the staging tables using the XML template files provided by SAP.
If you use the Remote SAP HANA Database Schema option, you specify the relevant connection to a remote SAP HANA system. The SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit generates the staging tables
there.
Note The scope item covers some technical prerequisites. Please note that additional costs may apply. For the successful communication configuration between SAP HANA Service Instance and
SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit, you need to have set up an SAP HANA Database as a Service (DBaaS) on the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). After activation, you need to set up the
communication arrangement SAP_COM_0259.
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 Business Technology 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.
Values in this test script (decimal notation, date formats, and so on) are presented in U.S. standard notation. If your test system is set up to use a different notation, enter values as appropriate.
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 that 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.

Additional Information

● Filling staging tables... Using a secondary database connection Using the same SAP S/4HANA scheme
"Remote SAP HANA Database" "Local SAP HANA Database"
In SAP S/4HANA Cloud SAP Business Technology Platform/DBaaS Only via XML template
Via openSQL, third party ETL Tools or from SAP like SAPHANA Studio, SDI, ADP, SAP Data Services
● Sometimes it's necessary to synchronize staging tables with migration objects. Reasons for that could be changed default views of the migration project, changed active views of the migration
object, or changed migration object content. The staging tables that must be changed have the status Synchronization Required. You must synchronize these tables before you can use them for
data transfer.
• To synchronize all the staging tables of a migration object, choose Start Synchronization on the Migration Object Details screen.
• To synchronize a single staging table, choose Start Synchronization on the Staging Table Details screen of the table.
● To show the documentation of the staging table go to the staging table details screen and choose Show. A window appears that shows information about Field Name, Group, and Description, as
well as which field is Key and which field is Mandatory.
● If you fill the SAP HANA staging tables with values, be aware of the following datatypes and the rules:
• Date fields might be shown in SAP HANA as NVARCHAR length 8 with DEFAULT 00000000. The format of the value is YYYYMMDD, so 2018-DEC-31 must be entered 20181231.
Initial values must be set to the defined DEFAULT value.
• Time fields might be shown in SAP HANA as NVARCHAR length 6 with DEFAULT 000000. The format of the value is HHMMSS, so 2:34:12 pm/14:34:12 must be entered 143412.
Initial values must be set to the defined DEFAULT value.
• Numerical character fields of ABAP data type NUMC must contain leading zeros. You can determine such fields as they are NVARCHAR with a default value with one zero minimum.
So NVARCHAR (3) with DEFAULT 000 is a NUMC field with length 3. The value 90, for example, must be entered as 090, the value 0 as 000. You can cross-check this when you
download the template for this object in a project with transfer option Transfer Data from File. The field is shown in the field list of the template as number with length 3 and 0 decimals.
• Decimal values must have a '.' as decimal separator.
Find more information on this in SAP Note 2733253 – FAQ for SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit - Transfer option: Transfer data from staging tables.

9.2.3 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.
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:
