Data Migration from existing legacy to SRM

Hello All ,
We are preparing for cutover of our SRM implementation.
Version in SRM 5.0 tech scenario - Classic.
The business scenario is Sourcing with Bid Invitation.
At our client's place existing legacy is working where they have many open Bid Invitations.
We are looking for a way to migrate these BI to SRM.
Has anyone done this or similar activity before?
I saw one thread
LSMW in SRM
but was not much helpful.
Hence new post.

Dinesh

Dinesh, since bid invitations are quite a operational document type, i.e. usually the bid invitation has not the character of master data or of a document with a long validity -- contrary to e.g. contracts, long term POs etc., I would generally question this as a valid requirement -- effort/money/time vs. business value.
If you still have enough reasons -- you need to custom build something I suppose. I would start analyzing at creation of a bid invitation (out of sourcing) and look up what exactly is posted where -- via debugging + what's on the tables after creation (BBP_PD). Generally, I would say there is too much dependency on master data residing in SRM, i.e. to create valid bid invitations in SRM you have to create certain master data - now existing only in the legacy system -. As well the 'migrated' bid invitations should be for display only.
I would not touch this - only if there is really a biiiiiig reason to do so. For history/reporting purposes I would try to extract the legacy data into BI instead of moving these things around into the SRM landscape.

  • Data migration from 4.7 system to ECC 6.0

    Hi All,
    I am a Solution Architect. Currently working on a typical pursuit requirement. the requirement is as below:
    One of our customer is currently on SAP 4.7 system.  Their current system is shared by 2 companies & the companies got demerged now. Hence they are palnning for fresh ECC 6.0 implementation & migrating Master data & transactional data related to this customer from the current 4.7 system to ECC 6.0.
    I am seeing possible way for data migration is through ALE or LSMW. But I am not confident about the execution plan & process.
    I would wish to know from you people is:
    1. The different methods to do data migration from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 with pros & cons
    2. How to plan for data migration
    3. Risks & mitigations during data migration
    4. different kind of skill set & duration required to accomplish this requirement
    Currently we are planning for 6 months for the ECC 6.0 core modules implementation.
    If you have undergone this kind of project then request you to share your experience. Any information on this regard is appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Data Migration from 11i to R12 Global - Open POs,lines, receipts & on hand upload, Is it possible to do the onhand qty upload with over riding of all receipts which uploaded against Open PO lines?

    Hi Friends,
    We are in a phase of data migration from 11i to R12 
    I was discussed with client & they wants extraction of all open POs which was generated after 01 Jan 2014 to till date in 11i.
    Condition for open POs is PO qty-received qty=>0
    critical Example for open PO is :PO no: 10 has 4 lines, 3lines full qty has been received & for 1 line partial qty(say 50 out of 100) received.
    in this case he wants in R12 uploading as PO no:10 should entered as open PO with all 4lines & 3 lines complete receipt should be done, for 4th line partial qty i.e 50 should be received.
    the question is if we upload on hand qty first, then open POs & receipts, it will increase the onhand qty in new system(mismatch of on hand qty's 11i to R12) 
    Is it possible to do the onhand qty upload with over riding of all receipts which uploaded against Open PO lines.
    Or Please advice best solution.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Data  Migration from 4.7 to ECC 6.0

  • I have a problem with Imovie. Just brought an macbook 15 retina , iLife install and Imovie was working. I than did a data migration from my old macbook pro and now it crashes on start up. I tried to re-install from app store but no option to re-install

    I have a problem with Imovie. Just brought an macbook 15 retina , iLife install and Imovie was working. I than did a data migration from my old macbook pro and now it crashes on start up. I tried to re-install from app store but no option to re-install, just installed and it greyed out.

    Well, my two-month-old MBP has no qualms about booting from a no-name external USB HD I put together...
    Given that is is a common point of failure, I would imagine a large Apple Store should keep a stock of HD's on hand.
    Now since you're a bit desperate and the genie pops up til Saturday and you seem to be the enterprising kind, let's try an experiment: if you have room enough in the external HD and assuming it isn't a Time Machine volume, why don't you plug it in, stick the Install CD and see if the installer lets you select the external drive as the install target. If you can install Leopard on it, on top of the backup without reformatting, and the Mac can boot from the drive afterwards, at least you would have some functionality restored and would be able to pull your stuff from the internal HD. Apple says booting from USB drives is not supported but that does not equate to not possible; some brands do work. Risks? Always. You can always lose your backup. Like I said, a challenge for an enterprising gal....
    Next time around, consider having a bootable external clone at hand for rainy days. I keep three myself...
    P.S. Since I'll be in the Dallas-FW area in late June, I can volunteer with the confetti....

  • Data Migration from R3 to new ECC System

    Hello,
    We are doing a fresh implementation for SAP MDM. Currently we have 3 SAP R/3 systems and 1 non-R3 system (BPCS system). One of the project goals is to do data migration from all these 4 systems into a new SAP ECC system and to MDM for Vendor Master, Customer Master and Material Master. My manager says that we need Business Objects tool to Migrate these data. But, my question is that is it not possible to achive this through XI/PI itself ? Can anyone let me know the entire process in XI/PI as to how do I receive the Idocs from R/3, convert into XML and then send it to the new ECC system in Idoc format ?
    Thks & Rgds,
    Hema

    Hi Gandhi,
    You have SAP MDM, BPC and R/3 systems in your landscape, when you are migrating data to new ECC system, what is the role of mdm, did you moving the same data to MDM to avoid duplicate/redundant data??is there any data migration from R/3 to MDM(any integration required)or MDM to R/3,
    You have to develop different interfaces to transfer data from MDM to ECC, BPC to ECC.definelty you required one middleware, the option definitely SAP PI. it offers very easy of integration between MDM and R/3 system, you can use MDM-PI adapter to connect to directly MDM syndicator file port from there you can pull the XML file and convert it in to IDoc format use Receiver IDoc adapter in PI, the same way we can integrate BPC system with R/3.
    Search in sdn, there are some scenarios integration of R/3 and MDM using PI, refer those links, if still you have any doubts let me know,

  • Data Migration from 4.6C to ECC 6.0

    Hi all,
            Can you suggest me solution for data migration from 4.6C to ECC6.O which technique to be used!!
    if you have the documents regarding the above post it which will be useful!!!
    Thanks,
    Yogeshwaran K S

    Hi Yogesh
    OS migrations are more or less painless beside the fact, that most "Unix" operating systems are using a different endianess (aside from Solaris on X86_64). For RFC and other SAP proprietary communication this is done in the kernel but if you use own software to read BINARY data (not talking about textfiles) you need to take care of that in your software.
    Hope ths helps

  • Create Back ground job for data recieved from a legacy system

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement where i need to schedule a back ground job once a proxy is triggered for the address data sent from a Legacy system. This proxy is triggerred from SAP PI, then i need to create a job shedule where address data is created as BP's(Business Partners) and assigned to a already created Target Group. Then once the Target group is completed with all BP needs to assigned to aCampaign Id. As the data is large it takes lot of time to execute. Please Advice.
    Regards,
    Nagesh Thanneeru

    Hi
    If you can divide the data into two internal tables and later collect into the one internal table, this could solve yuor problem.
    Also you need to make sure that enough memory is available in the system. Check DB6cockpit for that.
    Also there are a lot of correction notes available with SAP for the error"TSV_TNEW_BLOCKS_NO_ROLL_MEMORY"
    Check what the job exactly does, and search for the relevant notes, as there are different notes for different application areas...
    if its a loading job(Infopackage) you can reduce the data packet size of the IP, but that might hamper the loading performance.
    Hope this helps

  • Data Migration from MS   Excel Sheet to Oracle 9i Database

    Can anyone please help me to perform a data migration from MS excel sheet to Oracle 9i Database. I have an excel sheet from which i need to move data to the database. One of the columns in the sheet posseses multiple new line characters, and which causes a problem while migrating data with the help of SQL Loader. I would like to know whether any utility is available to migrate data directly from MS Excel sheet to the database, or it would he really helpfull for me , if anyone provide me with an alternate solution.

    I think Christian's suggestion will work for easily and quickly.
    1) create table link of Oracle target table in MS Office's ACCESS thru ODBC;
    2) from Access screen, you may easily dump the excel data into the linked table.
    This is very easy and feasible ways. Don't bother to find other ways. The other ways will need you to clear the unwanted carriage return signs first.

  • Data Migration from Legacy System in CRM

    Hi All,
    We are going to Implement a new CRM project, I have a problem with LSMW(Legacy System Migration Workbench ), I have some Conversion Objects of CRM and I need to know whether Data Migration is possible or not, please tell me how to find these Objects and how to know Data Migration is possible or not.
    Objects are like.,
    1. Accounts

    17. Service Requests
    18. Service Order History
    19. Security Deposits

    21. Rate Changes
    Can anybody please tell any transaction code in CRM where can I find the Data migration for the above objects is possible or not.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Sai.

    Hello,
    for migration into CRM I would suggest the 'XIF-Interfaces'; these are interfaces provided in CRM for connection to external systems. I'm not sure if this will cover all objects mentioned above, but at least some of them should exist.
    Some information about existing interfaces can be found in the integration repository under http://ifr.sap.com/index.html; from the start screen first select 'Enter the repository' and then have a look under 'generic components' and 'SAP CRM'.

  • Data migration from legacy system to SAP

    hi all,
      could you please post some docs on migration from legacy system to SAP system., also the problems faced while migration and best practices in data migration
    regards
    sridharan

    Hi ,
    I require few details from you.
    1. What ETL tool you are using, If Informatica, it already have PowerConnect to connect to SAP. So you can create source and Target Structure and also you can use RFC's to send data to R/3. Else, for other ETL tools, can you prepare RFC's or any other way to send data to R/3. let me know the tool.
    2. Does R/3 contains the master data tables? If yes, then try to use LSMW for Mass upload of data to tables.
    If your client don't want to use either of these options please elaborate, what is the case.

    Hi Ram,
    Use Transaction Code EMIGALL. It will ask for company code. By default Company Code is SAP. If you entered with the SAP you will get all the objects.Then goto menu IS-U Migration-->User Handbook. It will give you details Idea.
    Also Check the following Procedure
    You can find detailed documentation of EMIGALL in SAP itself. Use Transaction EQ81 to display it. It provides all the concepts and procedures to work with EMIGALL.
    Here are some points about EMIGALL :
    1. It Migrates data Business Object wise
    2. It uses Direct Input Technique
    3. It has more than 100 objects of IS-U
    and the steps for implementation goes like this:
    1)You have to create a user specially for migration which will have all the authorizations related to migration workbench, BASIS and IS-U
    2)You have to create your own company in EMIGALL. There is a default company called SAP.
    3)Company SAP contains all the Business Objects
    4)You have to figure out what business objects u need and then u have to copy those business objects to ur company from Standard Company SAP
    5)Each objects contains more than one structure and each structure can contain more than one fields. The relation goes like this
    Object ---> Structure ---> Field
    6)You have to define field rules for each required field of the object. You have to mark "Not required" for fields u don't need
    7)After field rules for a given object is set u have to generate load report i.e. actual Direct Input Program which will migrate data. This program is generated on basis of field rules set by u.
    8)After the load report is generated u have to prepare an input file (import File) for migration. The import file should be according to structure provided by SAP and must be in binary format. SAP Provides the structure of file according to your configurations. You have to write ur own Data conversion program(in any language) for this task.
    9)You take import file as input and migrate the data using generated load program
    10)Finally u can check the Migration Statistics and Error Log
    Thanks and Regards,
