Selective Data Transition to SAP S/4HANA
A selective transition approach for complex, multi-national’s
A Selective Data Transition to SAP S/4HANA goes beyond a standard

new implementation or conversion. It includes a host of options, related
to the handling of software & data provisioning, requiring additional
expert services and tools to accomplish.
SAP strongly advises you to engage SAP Digital Business

Services or specialized SAP Partners equipped with the necessary
tools and experience with such anapproach.
Reasons for selecting a Selective Data Transition approach:

• Large, multi-national corporation
• Multi-SAP ERP instance environment
• Business requirement to harmonize or to do just a partial redesign / leverage
partly today’s ECC installation
• Necessity to retain historic data in productive system
• Often effort intense & complex to load historical data
• Increased risk vs. other options

Key Scopes Highlights
Overview in LoB for SAP
S/4HANA 1909
SAP S/4HANA 1909 SPS00
Key Scopes Highlights Overview in LoB
Digital
Manufacturing
• Posting confirmations after work has been performed (asynchronously) in any orders
• Record activities asynchronously by submitting completed work after the fact and at once for several activities
• Confirm operation activity by entering the duration of a task as an alternative to start and complete times
• Enabling advanced variant configuration (AVC) with local dependency knowledge for production processes defined by version-
managed bills of materials (BOMs) and shop-floor routings and including:
• Means to define whether an operation activity in a routing is needed only if the assigned BOM item is selected
• Routing explosion that deselects operation activities that are not needed to assemble the configuration requested by
the customer
• Display of the configuration in the production supervisor’s and production operator’s user interfaces
• Standard library and templates within the SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing solution for production engineering and operations:
• Copy various routing objects, such as operations, operation activities, product resources and tools (PRTs), and paste
them elsewhere in the same routing structure or in a completely different routing
• Create and define favourite folders where these templates can be organized according to your individual needs, either
user specific or general
• Change and adjust templates in favourite folders
• Define and adjust referenceable templates

Digital
Manufacturing
Grouping of parts with Phantom BOMs Extended Production Operation

• Phantom assembly components – parts that are produced as part of a parent assembly and • Reduce the amount of scrap through timely rework and Enables the quality
that have a bill of materials (BOM) but are not usually produced with a production order engineer to dispose individual serialized products for rework activities
• Material requirements for a production order – inclusion of all components of the phantom • Enables the production operator to rework serialized products by removing and
component but not the phantom component itself replacing components and return work back into the normal production queue
• Functionality to:
• Create a planning BOM with phantom assemblies Alternate materials
• Create an execution BOM with a flat BOM structure based on planning phantom • Enable the production engineer to accomplish the following tasks through
assemblies manufacturing alternates (components exclusively used in manufacturing
BOMs):
Order Changes • In the manufacturing BOM, replace a component that was initially
indicated in the product design with another one; carry out any
• Enable the production supervisor to:
changes subsequently required in the production process plan; and
• Notify the production or quality engineer that a change is required, by creating a change ultimately fulfill the intent of product design
record for order-specific routing
• Identify such component replacements as manufacturing alternates in
• Create order-specific routing to apply changes to already released production manufacturing BOMs (MBOMs) and help resolve discrepancies
orders between engineering BOMs (EBOMs) and MBOMs
• Perform structural tasks (add or remove operations, operation activities, or • Make changes to the production process plan to accommodate the
components) and other changes (for example, add or remove buy-offs, inspection component replacement
characteristics, work instructions, or qualifications) to order-specific routing
• Use routing-version comparison while modifying an order-specific routing
Manufacturing
advancedATP
• Ability to calculate a feasible confirmation by simultaneously considering multiple product- • Enable alternative-based confirmations through substitution plants for confirming
allocation objects as alternative sources of supply sales order requirements
• Checking of each product-allocation object within the alternative source of supply and final
confirmation of the minimum object of all confirmations (logical "AND" connection of product Vertical consumption strategies within product allocation sequences
allocation constraints)
• User ability to use the same product allocation object several times in a product
allocation sequence so that they can model further consumption strategies for the
product allocation check
• Example – modelling of the consumption strategy as "alternatives backward first,"
which would happen in the following sequence:
• Backward-only product allocation check of alternative 1 (first product
allocation sequence group with product allocation object A)
• Backward-only product allocation check of alternative 2 (second product
allocation sequence group with product allocation object B)
• Forward check of alternative 1 (again with product allocation object A)
• Forward check of alternative 2 (again with product allocation object B)
• Modelling of other consumption strategies with the product allocation sequence

• Show existing characteristic catalogues
• Maintain mixed catalogues: create common characteristics based on the
corresponding characteristics of other catalogue instances (sales order
and stock transport order catalogues)
• Hide unused common characteristics
• Define an alias for a characteristic description

on partner function
• Introduce a refresh function with which order fulfillment managers can update their

advancedATP
• New SAP Fiori app "Manage Characteristic Catalogues“ * for managing characteristic
catalogues that can be used by different advanced available-to-promise (ATP) applications,
such as back-order processing, alternative-based confirmation (ABC), and product allocation
(PAL)
• User capabilities:
• Create new characteristics based on existing standard characteristics by grouping
specific characteristic values together
• Change the value-group definition by adding or removing characteristic values from
a group
• Delete unused value-group characteristics from the catalogue
• Example: define a new characteristic "countries of EU" based on the standard
characteristic "ship-to customer - country" by grouping the values "Germany,"
"France," and "Spain" together
