    Symptom

    You are performing the system conversion to the SAP S/4HANA and identify a number of errors in the
    transaction FINS_MIG_STATUS or FINS_MIG_MONITOR_RC0 that should be resolved before Gong Live.

    Environment

    SAP S/4HANA, SAP HANA

    Cause

    You are planning the conversion of your SAP ECC solution to SAP S/4HANA and would like to understand
    the important recommendation for the project planning and execution of the post-processing steps for the
    conversion of the financial data.

    Resolution

    Important! The recommendations in this note are based on practical project experience and
    should be verified by the project team during the planning, testing and execution of the project.
    The content of this note may be updated at anytime.

    1. General considerations

    1. Perform the SAP Readiness Check and carefully review the findings
    2. Consider starting archiving project to reduce the amount of historical data in the solution
    3. Plan running the data consistency checks available in the SAP ERP as early as possible (p.2)
    4. Test the conversion results consistency in the corresponding test runs to ensure the correctness of the
    data migraiton. Follow the recommendations in the note 2332030.
    5. Implement the best practices for the project managment: introduce the issue list with clear
    responsibility assignment, split the activities in the work packages(e.g. per area of expertise), plan and
    perform sufficient tests, prepare cutover plan.

    2. Execute the consistency checks tools available on SAP ERP platform to verify the data consistency in SPA
    ERP before the conversion

    1. Execute Simplification items consistency checks in your SAP ERP solution provided with the note
    2399707
    2. Execute the financial data reconciliation checks in your SAP ERP solution provided with the note
    2755360. See p.5 for details as well.
    3. Usage of these tools in advance before the SAP S/4HANA conversion project start could enable you
    with
    • transparency over the data quality in SAP ERP before the conversoin project start
    • additional details for the reliable conversion to SAP S/4HANA project planning
    • ability to start data inconsistency cleanup project before the SAP S/4HANA conversion project
    start
    • potentially reduce the number of necessary financial data test conversion cycles.
    • Important: the tools listed above partially perform the same data consistency analysis as the
    necessary data consistency checks integrated into the SAP S/4HANA conversion process but do
    not replace them. Further data consistency checks are performed during the S/4HANA
    conversion e.g. for validation of the data consistency in the new data models that could not be
    performed in ERP.

    3. Project planning

    1. Plan several test cycles for the conversion of your SAP ERP solution to SAP S/4HANA. We
    recommend to consider 2 to 3 test cycles(see p.4.2 as well).
    2. Prepare a test system as a new copy of your productive system for each conversion cycle.
    3. Plan enough time for the first sandbox conversion test to understand and complete the procedure.
    4. Plan enough time between the first and the second test conversion to cleanup potential inconsistencies
    in the productive data (see p.4 as well).
    5. Prepare the cutover plan including complimentary data consistency verification steps
    6. Assign responsible to follow the cutover plan step sequence and orchestrate the productive conversion
    process. Test the cutover plan execution, control and handover between execution steps during the
    dress rehearsal.

    4. Inconsistency resolution process for the financial data migration

    During execution of the financial data migration a set of extensive data quality checks is performed to
    ensure the data consistency before migrating it into the new data models of SAP S/4HANA. The issues
    that have been identified during these checks also in the historical data must be investigated, verified
    and resolved or evaluated as not critical (see p.4.2.1). The results of the checks could be reviewed with
    the transaciton FINS_MIG_MONITOR_RC0, FINS_MIG_STATUS. When planning this activity please
    consider the following lessons learned:

    1. Plan data archiving project to


    1. reduce the necessary downtime
    2. reduce the number of issues that may require cleanup before the conversion into the new data
    model of SAP S/4HANA
    3. reduce the memory usage on SAP HANA solution
    2. Perform several financial data migration tests during the project. Each time perform the test on the new
    actual copy of the productive system to ensure that all potentiall critical data inconsistencies are
    resolved before the cutover weekend.
    1. Start evaluation of the identified inconsistencies with the first test cycle, target that the
    inconsistencies either resolved in productive environment (see p.4.2.2.) or evaluated as not
    critical by the business and auditor(if relevant). The decision for all inconsistencies must be
    clarified before the dress rehearsal test latest.
    2. If data inconsistencies are identified in a test cycle by the S/4HANA conversion procedure,
    perform resolution of the inconsistencies in the productive environment. This procedure

    (following p.3.2: having a new copy of productive system for each test cycle) will ensure that the
    relevant data migration will be retested in the next S/4HANA conversion test cycle.
    3. You may combine the financial data cleanup activities with the techncal conversion tests in the
    way that a new copy of productive system is used for the system conversion and the financial
    data migration test takes place on that system.

    5. Further important information
