Data Migration Strategy: Legacy to CRM (BP and Case)

Hi,
What is the best strategy to implement in migrating data (Master and Transactional) from a Legacy System (text file) into SAP CRM: Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW), Master Data Manager (MDM) or ABAP? And what are the reasons?
Thanks,
Nhlanhla

Hi Nhlanhla,
You can achieve this by IDOCS or XIF Function Modules.
   Preferred is develop a program using CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE and CRMXIF_PARTNER_REL_SAVE for better performance. Here you will find Z fields create through EEWB also.
For IDOCs
Message Type         CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M
Basic Type           CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M03
Message Type         CRMXIF_PARTNER_REL_SAVE_M
Basic Type           CRMXIF_PARTNER_REL_SAVE_M02

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....

Objects are like.,
1. Accounts
2. Actuate Reports
3. Active Campaigns/Campaign Content/Dispositions
4. Contacts
5. Contracts
6. Opportunities
7. Payment Arrangement History
8. Payments
9. Premises

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'.

Date migration from Legacy system (excel file) to CRM 7.0

Hi,
Can any one guide me on the below:
I am provided with excel files having prospect data with 63 fields and most of them are not the part of standard fields available.
The requirement is to create the same data in CRM. I am unable to use ELM as most of the fields are not available. I suppose i need to get the fields created by technical team. However need some knowledge sharing on this. I think even BAPI approach would need fields to be created first.
Should i revert back to the client asking for detailed information on the tabs or sections under which the missing fileds have to be created?
Also guide me with alternate solution to map the data from legacy to CRM
Please mark your solution on this
thanks

Agarwal,
In your situation you need to have the additional attributes created in CRM, before you can do an upload. Now if the new attributes are marketing attributes for the business partner, you can use ELM. Otherwise if you still want to do ELM then you need to use the BADI.
Your other option is use XIF adapter with LSMW to perform the upload, but the custom fields must appear in the bdoc structure on the CRM for them to appear. Normally this won't be a problem if the CRM system has been extended via EEWB or AET.
Take care,
Stephen

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

Data Migration of Contracts with periodic billing and revenue recognition

Hello Experts,
I am trying to develop a legacy data migration plan for Contracts with periodic billing plan and revenue recognition.
Example of the scenario is given below:
Customer signed a contract for one year starting 01/01/2009.
Customer is billed quartely, billed in advance.
SAP going live on 04/01/2009
Customer is billed for 3 months and also for initial set up fees.
Revenue recognition is done monthly.
We have to migrate this contract to SAP.
Billing document posting may be necessay as it affects revenue recognition which spans across the total contract period.
Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks A Lot
Anil
Edited by: Anil Jose on Sep 17, 2008 9:38 PM

Hi Anil
How did you manage this? We also had the same problem in one of our contracts and what we did was that we copied the contracts from the legacy with the full value. That is suppose SAP went live on 1st April, 2009 and the contract was created on 1st January 2009 for a value of suppose 100 USD, with the first billing being done on 1st Jan for 33.33 USD for 4 months. We first created the contract with a validity from 1st Jan 2009 in the new system. We billed it with a billing type that we created that did not actually create new accounting entries as the accounting entries had already been created in the legacy system. In the new system then we recognised the revenue till the go live, so that the actual value remaining of the contract reduced. Then we started the billing plan of the contract from 1st of April 2009 for the remaining amount. So next invoice was created on 1st april for 33.33 USD. Can you share your solution.

SAP HR Data Migration Strategy

Hello Guys,
I worked in Data migration in the areas like SD,MM,FI. But I am new to HR. Can anybody please give me the HR data migration stratagey like what data's (eg, Master ,transactional etc) we need to load and sequences and methods available for each type?
Thanks
Kal

Hi chakri,
Documentation we use is Data Convertion Bueprint which is simply customer's requirements accroding to what infotypes he needs, what data should be migrated and which org. elements will be imported.
Another one is Master Template which is actually prepared by us (technical team). We prepare LSMW for each infotype mentioed in former document, then we document it in this master template to provide to customer required flat files format. We prepare such becuase sometimes some filed may be fixed, some added and even are read-only so should be skipped. So this document differs a bit with previous one in regards to infotypes' used fields. Than we sent this document to our local functional team which is resposible for providing files with given format.
In first document there are also some Golden rules, which describes exact steps for one entire cycle (staring from deliveirng the file, ending with validation of loaded data for one infotype), which each involed party should follow.
The last but not least important document is what we call Loading sequence. I already described it previously. It is just the order of loading the data to infotypes which you should follow. It also contains such information as
- number of records in provided file
- number of errors, successfully loaded records
- files which we share with functional team (error logs)
- finally files which we sent as validation data (extracted from system after successful load of infotype)
Unfortunatelly I can't provide you any of them as these are company documents which are not to be distributed. Sorry I am not allowed to break this rule.
Anyhow I hope it will give you an overview of what kind of documentation you need. It is of course of your team how you organize your work and documentation.
All in all crucial thing is communication between teams, which from my experiaence sometimes fails.
One more thing:
Always remeber to give points to usefull answers, that's how the forum works. Of course it is not obligatory !
Rememebr if you get something, you appreciate it by assigning points:)
Cheers
Marcin

Data Migration from Legacy system to ECC systems via ETL through SAP PI

Hi All,
I wanted to know if we can migrate the data from Legacy systems to ECC systems via PI.
What I understand is there is ETL tool is used to extract the data from legacy system, and what client is looking to load that data via PI?
Can we do that ? I am concerned because this will involve mass data?
If I have to use PI , I see option of PROXY / IDOC /FILE as receiver in ECC system (take the data from ETL)?
Can somebody has done this earlier , please share the approach.
Thanks,
Pushkar Patel

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.

PA data migration Strategy for global roll-out

Hi Guys,
What is the best practise to load PA data into SAP HCM for a global roll-out? We plan to go-live with 50 odd countries. For country specific infotypes like address, It does not make sense to create country-specific LSMW's for each of the country. We may end up having 100s of LSMWs which does not seem right to me. nearly 20 of these countries have less than 100 employees each. Any ideas what the best practises around this are?
regards
Sam

Create batch input sessions with LSMW as usual.
Wite a report that reads the batch input session (tables APQI, APQD), gets the country specific dynpro for every PERNR (tables T582A, T588M, feature Pxxxx, ...) and change the dynpro in the APQD. Use debugger to find offset and length of field values in the record.
Than you can process the batch input.
I did it that way many times.
Alternativly you could update the PA tables directly - but difficult to detect errors.

Data migration for Securities

Hello
I have been going the suggestions on the thread below,
Data Migration Strategy for Securities
I would like to clarify at which price do i book securities on cut off date, here is an example
my cut off date is 31/12/2009 and i have the following deals
1 . Purchase of R207 bond (04I) nominal 10million on 06/06/2009 price 98%
2. Sale of R207 bond 5million on 11/11/2009 price 97%
My balance nominal as at cut off on R207 bond is 5Million so on the 31/12/2009 i will book on TS01 5 MILLION on what price, currently on QA we booked all deals at original prices including all sales. Note that we do MTM on 04I and amortisation on 04X bonds.
Thank you in advance
Regards
Victor
Data Migration Strategy for Securities

Hi Victor,
looking into your example, it seems you have outstanding balance of 5 mio of certain bond and result (P&L) of difference between purchase (10 mio) and sales (5mio) should be booked in Y2009 and is already included in financial figures in Legacy system. If you say that you use plain Mart-to-Market Valuation for this particular type bond, so the Balance value is dependant on Market price on last date of the Y2009.

Data conversion strategy for new SOB

Dear Viewers
on 11.5.10
We are creating a new SOB with a change in currency from Feb-11 as this is the requirement
For the same, we need to do data conversion.
I have a confusion for Purchase Orders and Sales Orders
Purchase Orders:
Open purchase orders will be converted, means the unfulfilled PO`s i.e the ones not received and are fully open.
The PO`s which have been recieved but not delivered, Requested the users to clear the intransit receipts.
The PO's which are partially received, what to be done for them?
If a PO is fully received and Delivered will not me converted to the new SOB as its not an open PO
but If invoice comes after Feb-11, than how the matching will be done?
What if a return has to be made moving forward in FEB-11 under new SOB
Sales Orders:
Open sales orders will be converted, that is the ones that have been entered and not yet booked.
Users have been requested to clear off the Sales order lines which are already pick confirmed but not yet shipped, hence they will be shipped and interfaced to AR
For the Sales orders that have been booked, those lines that are not yet processed further will also be converted.
Now what if a receipt comes after feb 11, how to handle this as the sales order wiould not have been converted?
Please give your advise on the data migration strategy for PO`s and SO's.
Please do add any point that may have been missed by me
Appreciate your help
Thanks
Emm

Hi David,
for master data conversion you can use LSMW and the RE-FX BAPIs. (please refer to SAP note [782947|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/782947] ).
