Starter Blog for SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit

Besides a lot of different blogs on the topic „Your Path to SAP S/4HANA – New Implementation” I will provide here an entry point for the tool that facilitates the transfer of business data to an SAP S/4HANA system: the SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit.

Quick facts:

• Migrates master and business data to SAP S/4HANA
• Source systems can be SAP Systems or non-SAP Systems
• Target system is SAP S/4HANA (for both cloud and on-premise)
• Uses predefined migration objects (e.g. customers) to identify and transfer the relevant data
• Predefined Microsoft Excel templates can be downloaded, filled with data, and uploaded to SAP S/4HANA
• To import the data, SAP standard function modules and BAPIs are used
• Natively build in in SAP S/4HANA, included in SAP S/4HANA license
• Overview Presentation: SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit

SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit – on Premise

For the on-premise version, the inherent migration object modeler allows you to integrate your custom data into the migration. For example, you can adjust the predefined standard migration objects delivered with the SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit by adding fields to them. With FPS02 you can also create your own custom-specific migration objects.
