1 Introduction
The activities described in this document have been already executed in the systems you will use to
complete the activities.

The purpose of this document is to collect these activities for your reference with the scope of document
all the steps you will have to perform during a real conversion project.

1.1 General recommendation:

Delete all existing sample companies / templates prior to preparing the system in order to avoid
some errors in later checks!

Before getting started, we recommend consulting SAP Note 2332030 and downloading the attached

2.1 SAP S/4HANA Finance: Check Customizing Settings Prior to
Upgrade – prior to S/4HANA 1809
(Note: For WP04, this step is not required since the target system is S/4HANA 1809)

Execute report FINS_MIG_PRECHECK_CUST_SETTNGS to check the consistency of your ledger,

company code and controlling area settings to determine if a migration to SAP S/4HANA Finance is
possible.

2.2 SAP S/4HANA Finance: Check Customizing Settings Prior to

Upgrade – Relevant for S/4HANA 1809+
Before you start the conversion procedure, apply SAP Note 2617167 and all following / linked notes.
These notes provide the local checks on your source system.

For WP04, this has already done in your system as part of the activities for the SAP Readiness Check
and this step is relevant to the S/4HANA 1809 SP01 target system.

Execute the new check-class framework using report /SDF/RC_START_CHECK (via t-code SE38):

View details of all finance related components (in WP04 there is only one Finance specific item under FI-

AA that requires correction), highlight line item and click on the Details icon to view additional
information):

Notes:

1. The errors identified by the /SDF/RC_START_CHECK report will be corrected as you execute the
instructions in the ACT documents for WP03 and WP04.
2. All errors (red icons) must be resolved before the Software Update Manager (SUM) can be
executed in WP05. Failure to resolve these errors will result in corresponding failures and/or
SUM execution termination.
3. It is important to exit the reporting transaction entirely before re-running the
/SDF/RC_START_CHECK report. Failure to completely exit SE38 may result in the
/SDF/RC_START_CHECK report not being fully updated after a correction is made to the
system.
4. Once the preparation work described here has been verified, please immediately move on to the
ACT exercises to complete Work Package 04.
