SAP Migration Cockpit and Migration Strategy

Since the Migration Cockpit is delivered with the S/4HANA system and replaces the Legacy System Migration Workbench (SAP LSMW), our article will explain this tool in detail. Alternative solutions will be briefly addressed. Factors influencing the choice of migration strategy and tool include the number and volume of migration data objects to be transferred and converted, acceptable system downtime, data quality in source systems, required data changes or optimizations, the deployment model of the target system (SAP cloud or SAP on-premise system), and the number and type of source systems. Learn more about the Migration Cockpit and Migration Strategy, if required via our translator:

SAP Migration Object Templates for the Data Migration

SAP provides Excel templates for SAP data objects like bills of materials, routings, and business partners in the SAP Migration Cockpit. Changes via the SAP Migration Object Modeler are integrated into these Excel templates, with additional ones for new objects. Each object has at least one Excel file with grouped data fields and metadata (description, field type, length etc.). The SAP Help Portal details all migration objects, including prerequisites (e.g., material master before bill of materials), limitations, scope, post-processing, and validation.

Agile Project Management

This article explains the agile project management with Scrum, SAP Activate, and the Solution Manager inclusive Focused Build. Projects are split into MVPs/Releases or Pilots/Rollouts, then into Waves containing Sprints. Sprints include Work Packages, divided into Work Items. The quality assurance within projects involves unit tests (Work Items), functional tests (Work Packages), and UATs (Waves), potentially with additional regression, integration, role, and retests. After passing all Wave Quality Gates, the go-live follows (Handover to Release). Learn more about the agile project management by using the translator on S4-Experts.

S/4HANA Training Strategy and SAP Enable Now

SAP training and education are critical components of digital transformations and the implementation of the new S/4HANA system generation. Employees often have specific training needs to be effectively introduced to relevant content. While standard SAP user trainings from educational providers can complement efforts, it should not be the sole solution. A mix of various training methods and media typically ensures the best cost-benefit ratio. The following approach can be adopted to develop a training concept:

How long does a S/4HANA Project take?

In dynamic mid-sized corporations with short decision-making processes, new implementations typically take six to 15 months, and system conversions four to 12 months. Large enterprises may need to plan for several years. Influencing factors include the company's complexity, the implementation strategy, the SAP team, the tools used, and whether the customer was already using SAP. Learn more in the main magazine:

SAP System Consolidations within S/4HANA Transformations

SAP system consolidation can accompany an S/4HANA implementation. The lean and fast S/4HANA system not only offers the necessary performance for a larger number of parallel processes and employees, but consolidation has been a trending topic for many years anyway. Reasons for consolidation include, for example, the merger of companies, a reorganization of the IT landscape (SAP harmonization), or organizational reasons such as the globalization in general. Lessons learned and a success story about the SAP system and company merger within the automotive industry.
