Hello and welcome to the SAP HANA
Academy. My name is Tom and in this
series of videos we're looking at SAP
S/4HANA. In this tutorial video will show
you how to use the SAP S/4HANA
migration cockpit and the migration
object modeler. This video is a
continuation of an earlier video in the
series called migration cockpit. Special
thanks to Jorge Balthazar and José
Márquez from the SAP S/4HANA RIG team
for providing the footage, demo and
content for this tutorial. Juan and Sonia
are part of the procure-to-pay team. They
are working to implement SAP S/4HANA
in a greenfield project called
Aconcagua. They have already completed
the first task, the loading of the source
list. Now they're going to work on
loading the second object, the inventory
balance. As Juan has already created the
migration project, the only activity that
he has to do now is to download the
template and send it to Sonia. Juan opens
the migration project. The source list is
already finished. So now he has to start
by opening the inventory balance
migration object. Then Juan has to
download the template that will be
populated by Sonia. Sonia receives the
template. She checks to see if it
contains all of the mandatory
information for the company.
Sonia opens a file that she receives and
realizes that it is split by header and
document item. It’s different than the
one that she checked first.
Sonia begins to look at the details of
the items and she checks all the
information that is there. She realizes
that one mandatory field for the company
is not listed. That field is reason. Sonia
calls Juan to let him know that reason
is not included in the material document
item. She requests that that field reason
be included. Juan looks for a solution to
his issue.
Juan will use the migration object
modeler
to include the required field. To solve
the issue Juan accesses the back end and
goes to the transaction LTMOM, for the
migration object modeler. Juan selects the
migration object that is going to be
adjusted. The next step is to add a field
into the source structure. So Juan has to
open the source list and as it is in the
document item he has to go to the
document item. There Juan has to add a new
field. Not only does he have to add a
name here but Juan must also include some
mandatory data such as the type of data,
which in this case is numeric. Also the
length, which in this case is 4. When it
is ready Juan has to go to the field
mapping. But first he has to save the
changes he just made. Now he has to link
the new field with a field that is in
the API. For this Juan just needs to drag
and drop the field into the API
structure. Finally, Juan has to generate
and save the change. Now that the new
field has been added Juan goes back to
the migration cockpit through the
transaction LTMC. Then Juan has to open
the migration object and focus on the
material inventory balance. The final
step is to download the new template and
send that document to Sonia. Juan informs
Sonia that he has added the new field
and has sent her the new template to be
populated. Sonia is pleased with the news
and commits to populating it as soon as
possible. Now the new field is listed in
the field list and is also part of the
material document item. With that
information Sonia is now ready to start
the population of the file. She creates a
new file and completes the header and
the item information. For this case she
fills in stock type as S
and the reason as one and two. Now Juan
has received the final file populated by
Sonia. He’s ready to begin the loading of
the inventory balance through the
migration cockpit. Juan starts work on
the material inventory balance. The first
task is to open the object and upload
the new file that Sonia has sent. He
selects the file to be loaded and
assigns a name to it.
Juan also has the option to edit the
information. For example he could edit
the header or the material document item
information. Then he has to activate the
object and start the transfer. The first
step is to validate the data. As before
Juan does not get any error message. The
second step is to convert the value. It
appears that there are several errors.
But as before, Juan can confirm the
mapping values. Now he identifies just
one problem. In this case it is necessary
to assign one posting date. Juan selects
the date of December 7th. With that Juan
has solved all of the issues and is
ready to proceed to the third step,
simulate the import. Juan encounters no
errors here. So he is now ready to
execute the import. The loading was
successful. Juan tell Sonia the loading
is ready. Now Sonia will verify it using
the app material document overview. To
validate the loading Sonia opens the
material document overview app. All of
the material documents that were created
on that day are listed. Sonia sees that
all of the information has been uploaded,
including the stop type. She can also
navigate to see the detail of the
information. For example, the document
flow. After her validation, Sonia confirms
that the information has been loaded
successfully. Now both objects, the source
list and the inventory balance have been
uploaded and inspected. This video showed
how to use the migration object modeler
to add a new field to the source
structure. This video also showed how to
load the second object of the Aconcagua
Greenfield project using the migration
cockpit. Thanks for watching. If you'd
