Introduction

Purpose
The Conversion Data Mapping document describes the:
Detailed data mapping from the source legacy system to the Oracle R12
Applications for Projects
File layout to be used for extraction of the data from the source system
Key assumptions, rules and logic needed to create the conversion
programs

Background
The information in this document has been defined as the result of discussions
between project staff, GE Aviation technical staff, and FCS consultants.
GE Aviation Systems are implementing two instances of a necw Oracle eBusiness
Suite ERP application. One will be based in the USA the second in the UK. These
two systems will replace legacy ERP systems on all GE Aviation System sites.
It is a requirement that some data currently in the site legacy systems be
transferred into either the live Oracle eBusiness Suite database for future
transaction or held within an archive database for reference purposes only. The
current list of data sets required to be imported is held in GE Libraries at the
following address - http://libraries.ge.com/foldersIndex.do?
entity_id=16959948101&sid=101&SF=1
As part of this project, a team has been set up to manage the migration of data
from the legacy systems to the new ERP system or archive application. The team
is divided into two areas:
Site based team responsible for:
o Mapping of legacy system data to Oracle R12 requirements (live and
archive);
o Extraction of live and archive data from the legacy system(s) in the
prescribed format;
o Cleansing of legacy system data;
o Conversion of legacy system data into Oracle R12 values;
o The provision of all infrastructures required to produce the extract
file and transmit it to the location specified by the Oracle R12 import
team.
Oracle R12 import team responsible for:
o Overall design of the import process for live and archive data;
o Interpretation of Oracle eBusiness Suite process requirements into an
import specification;
o Import files specification for live and archive data. This will include
the format of the extract file(s) to be produced by the site teams

together with the identification of mandatory, optional and not

required fields;
o Creation of non-standard import routines for data not supported by
Oracle tools;
o Validation of the received data files;
o Elimination of records already existing in Oracle R12;
o The provision of all infrastructure required to take the legacy system
files provided by the site based teams and create either a viable
record within Oracle R12 or an appropriate record within the archive
database;

GE Aviation, <Legacy System> as their master PO Entry system. The current

project is to implement a global Oracle e-Business Suite R12 application for the
entire company. As part of this project, Open POs data from the existing systems
must be converted into this new R12 EBS system. This document provides
details of the functional design to achieve this.
The document deals with the Open Purchase Orders and the mapping
exercise between the <Legacy System> and Oracle Applications in order to load
the Open Pos into the R12 instance. Data from legacy system would be extracted
after <Legacy System IT team> has cleansed the data along with
Business/Functional users. An extract program would be developed in legacy
system on the cleansed data that would extract the relevant data into a flat file
and using Loader utility, the data will be migrated to R12 staging tables that will
be validated as per the business rules. The validated data would be sent as an
input to Standard R12 Interface tables for running import programs to create
respective purchase orders.
A section in this document will also discuss the mapping between extracted
PO information from legacy with Oracle interface tables. This section will list all
the PO information that is required from a conversion perspective for the load
into R12.
Validations will be classified as mandatory and optional. If the mandatory
validations fail, the entire Purchase Order will be marked as Error in the staging
table and Failure of optional validations will be considered as S for Success and
will be created in Oracle.
As of date the document being created, there are approximately <????> Open
Purchase Orders out of total <????> That needs to be migrated.

Scope and Application

The Conversion Data Mapping identifies for use in designing conversion
programs to convert Open Purchase Orders and relevant if any:
data sources
target tables and columns
validation
processing

translation
filter
foreign key rules

PO header data should have at least one PO Line and one Distribution Line. If
not, the PO will be rejected.
The defaulting logic for some of the data elements is not known at the time of
preparation of this document. However, this needs to be discussed and
documented as a revision prior to the conversion process. Value of the default
will be confirmed once the setup is completed for PO.
The custom conversion code should perform required validations like duplicate
Pos and display validation failures, if any.
A Custom report that gives the results of validation failures with success/failure
counts and reasons for failures will be retrieved from the error tables
appropriately.

Vision and Use case statements and Pillar constraints

This section elobrated as result of discussion with process teams and site team
sign off. For more detail information, refer an attached vision&use case
document.

Order_04192012[1].docx

Audience
This document is intended for the following individuals:
GE Aviation conversion project staff
outside consultants
reviewers of data conversion deliverables

Conversion Plan
The Purchase Order Import interface process will be used to convert Open POs

ii

 Conversion Document Open Purchase Orders

GE Aviation has a <Legacy system> that will provide us Open PO data. PO

Document numbers will be generated in Oracle, but to keep the reference,
legacy Purchase Order Number will be stored in the Header/Site level
Descriptive flex fields.
3-way matching will be implemented to integrate with payables

User Procedures
In order to populate Open Purchase Orders data into the Oracle Applications the
following steps need to occur:
GE Aviation staff will generate data file in specified format.
Conversion staff will FTP data file to specified UNIX directory on the
database server in ASCII mode.
Conversion staff will run SQL*Loader concurrent program to load Open
Purchase Order data from data file into the staging tables.
Review concurrent program output and log. Resolve errors.
Run the conversion concurrent program to validate data and populate
interface tables.
Review concurrent program output and log. Resolve errors.
Run the import Interface program to import data from interface tables to
core tables.
Review concurrent program output and log. Resolve errors.

Error Handling
Each program executed will provide an error report in the concurrent program
output.
The SQL*Loader program will be designed to replace all records in the custom
staging table. Therefore any records that fail loading to the custom table will
have to be corrected in the data file by GE Aviation staff. It is critical that the
corrected data file is reverted back to the development within 1 day in order to
avoid development schedule impact. The entire data file (error and non-error)
received from GE Aviation will have to be re-loaded by Technical Development
team.
The Custom Conversion Program will validate data and load data from staging
table to interface tables. Any error records will have to be corrected in the data
file. The Interface tables and the staging tables will have to be truncated. And the
entire process will have to be resubmitted starting with the SQL*Loader
program. Alternatively, the data errors will need to be corrected in the staging
table and re-processed.
The standard Interface Program will provide an error report. In this case only the
error records will have to be corrected and re-submitted. The valid records will
already have been imported.

 Conversion Document Open Purchase Orders

Assumptions
The Purchasing setups must be complete before executing document
type Standard PO conversion.
POs with all open lines (Standard purchase orders, Blanket Releases)
will go to R12.
The document number for PO in R12 will be system generated numbers.
Only 3 way matching PO is in scope for converted Standard Pos.
Business use position approval hierarchy process in oracle R12
For conversion, blanket releases in legacy will be brought over as
Standard Purchase Orders.
If the PO has a reference of the Project number in legacy, the linkage /
relation should be brought over to R12
Pay on code is receipt in scope for converted Standard Pos.
Number of standard purchase orders created in R12 vs. Number of
purchase orders in the source instance. This report should consist of total
number of records in both legacy system and R12 instance.
The report should have the legacy purchase order number and the R12
purchase order number. Any purchase order that is not converted for
any reason should also be listed with the reason code for failure.
Error reports must be developed to capture the error records in staging
tables, interface tables before they are loaded in to the Oracle base tables.
A report need to be provided for all the POs with OSP items with the
details of the Purchase order number, WIP job number associated with
the converted PO and the converted WIP job status in R12.
The Requisition Clean up Post process will cancel all requisitions
generated by the WIP Jobs with OSP Operations during the WIP
Conversion process. These requisitions can be identified by the
following:
o Requisition Line Type will be Outside Processing
o Requisition Import Source will be WIP

Audit Requirements
Audit report of data file after the Standard Purchase Orders are loaded into R12
must detail the following information Legacy PO Number, R12 PO Number,
Supplier Name, Supplier Site, R12 PO Line Number, R12 PO Line Qty, R12 Qty
Received, R12 Qty Open.

The PO Conversion must consider the transformation of Project Number and

Task Number from Legacy to R12. Conversion of Projects and Tasks from legacy
to R12 is a pre-requisite for PO Conversion. This information must be based on
the Project and Task Number transformation between legacy and R12 being
developed by the Project Conversion team.

Audit Report required which should detail the WIP Jobs with OSP Operations
and the associated requisitions that were generated by the WIP Conversion
process and subsequently cancelled by the Requisition Clean-Up Post Process.

Audit report detailing all Standard Purchase Orders converted to R12 with OSP
Items that are NOT linked to a WIP Job in R12.The line type for these POs would
be Outside Processing item.

Conversion Validation Rules

Following rules have been defined and elaborated as the result of discussion with ERP Core Process Team to
be applied for data extracts and development:

All the existing legacy data i.e. purchase orders (releasesaganist blanket,
standard purchase orders) should be brought in as Standard Purchase
orders in to R12.
o All Standard Purchase Orders, Releases against blanket which
are in APPROVED status in legacy system only will be
converted into R12.
o If a Purchase Order has a mix of open and closed lines, only
open lines for receiving will be converted into R12.
o If a Purchase Orders line has partially open quantity, the entire
PO line quantity will be converted.
o All open Purchase Orders should be converted with receipt
routing as INSPECTION REQUIRED and PO matching level as
3 way matching
o Purchase Orders that having expense items and 2 way match in
legacy will be converted as 3 way matching.
Standard Purchase Orders sequence numbers will be generated
automatically in R12 and the legacy PO numbers will be store in
description field of Standard Purchase Orders.
The Purchase Orders, Releases which are fully received in legacy for the
past seven years will be achieved into Data Warehouse.
o All Purchase Orders, Releases which are not in cancelled status
will be achieved into Data Warehouse.
o All Purchase Orders, Release which achieved into Data
Warehouse will be having Legacy Purchase Order Number
Header and line level attachments, notes to the supplier that had been
through data cleansing and have been designated for conversion in
middle river POs / releases should be loaded in to the document
catalogue and attached to the purchase order header or line when
converted to R12.
o Header and line attachments should be converted after
converting PO headers and Lines.
POs generated for out-side processing jobs The WIP job number
referenced on the legacy PO need to be replaced with new WIP job
created from Conversion in R12.
o The status of the WIP job in R12 should be Open/Released

Purchase Orders/Releases which are generated from BPA in the legacy

system should be converted as standard Purchase Orders with reference
to the legacy PO number in the description field and the R12 GBPA
number in the reference at PO line level.
Supplier and site must be active
Employee must be active
Bill to location and Ship to location must be active
All the standard PO conversion will include details from PO Header, PO
Line, PO Distribution, PO Shipment and OSP details as per the data
mapping sheet.
