An Introduction<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Selective data transition, is an alternative data movement procedure to the System Conversion (brownfield) and New Implementation (greenfield) approach when it comes to moving to SAP S\/4HANA.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">But how does it work?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Well, as the name suggests this type of transition allows you to slice your data in a variety of different ways: by company code, time slice criteria, or any other type of organizational element. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Generally, the data you can transport from your core legacy system to the aforesaid platform are &#8211;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Master data.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">ABAP repository of developments and objects.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Transaction data (historically closed and open items).<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Customized configuration data.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Usually, there are two different approaches that you can use to move your data to S\/4HANA through this method. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">But, more on that later. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For now, let us tell you another interesting part.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">With selective data transition, you&#8217;ll be able to selectively reuse your existing ERP solution. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">And typically, <\/span><\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">this is done by application area<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> .<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For example, if you want, you can reuse logistics elements from your ECC environment in S\/4HANA. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">But, focus your efforts on redesigning the financial solution you&#8217;re currently working with.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Selective Data Transition &#8211; The Approaches<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The selective data transition method generally utilizes the Data Management and Landscape Transformation (DMLT) services to move the required data. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Usually, the <\/span><\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">transition process is done through four different approaches<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> , including &#8211;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Approach &#8211; 1: client transfer.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In this approach, you&#8217;ll be required to select a client, the underlying master data, and the data you want to transport to S\/4HANA. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Once you have completed this step, you&#8217;ll be able to start the procedure of transitioning through SAP. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">And you can select your existing data as well.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Approach &#8211; 2: Shell Conversion.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In the coveted shell conversion approach, your team will need to create a shell copy of the PROD environment. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Note that this shell will not contain any master or transactional data, only the ABAP Repository or the configuration will be maintained here.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This is key, as having data in the system will prevent from executing the SUM-DMO upgrade from ECC to S\/4HANA. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is key to engage knowledgeable partners to help here.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Approach &#8211; 3: Company Code Transfer.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The company code transfer procedure allows you to select a company code from your existing environment with all underlying master and transactional data including configuration, and transition to S\/4HANA.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It can be done by either using the master information or transitional data while proceeding with the procedure. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">However, if you don&#8217;t want to go through all that hassle, you may also choose the configuration with or without the master data. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It might make the process a little easier.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Approach &#8211; 4: System Merge.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you are going through the system merge approach, you&#8217;ll have to integrate the data offered from two or more clients. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It will help you create an empty instance within S\/4HANA.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Remember, the clients you are thinking about using can be from a different or a similar SAP ERP system.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Now, let&#8217;s talk about <\/span><\/span><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">creating a target system<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> . <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It&#8217;s the place where you&#8217;ll move your data as a whole. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">So, it&#8217;s best if you complete the proceeding through the following approaches &#8211;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Approach &#8211; 1: The Mix And Match Technique.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In this case, you&#8217;ll need to create a new SAP S\/4HANA system. Once you&#8217;re done, you can start transferring both ABAP repositories and configurations accordingly. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The process must be done manually.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Approach &#8211; 2: Shell Conversion.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In this case, the shell conversion procedure will begin through the creation of a shell copy of the PROD environment available within it. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">That might include &#8211;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The ABAP repository, and<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Theconfiguration.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">There is no need to use any kind of transactional or master data here. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Once you are done, you&#8217;ll need to transfer the ABAP repository and the configuration simultaneously. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">As it doesn&#8217;t have to take care of a load of transactional data, it&#8217;ll get completed quickly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">How Does It Differ from System Conversion?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The difference between system conversion and selective data transition isn&#8217;t necessarily massive, but can have huge benefits in risk mitigation and flexibility. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">However, there are still a few things that you need to know in this aspect.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Keep reading to learn more about it, then.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">criteria<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Selective data transition<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">system conversion<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Data cleansing<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">You can select active data here. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">So, it&#8217;ll be possible to make changes on the fly.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">To cleanse data, you&#8217;ll need to do optional archiving before you start with the project. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Besides, a few inconsistencies need to be fixed.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Process Reengineering<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In this case, you&#8217;ll be able to process changes in some segments. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">And, it&#8217;ll also be possible for you to alter your organizational structure.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Simplification items, or SI, can be adopted during an ongoing project. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">However, you can only make an innovation after the conversion process is completed.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Phased Go Live<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It&#8217;s fully supported throughout this technique.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In this case, you won&#8217;t be able to perform any phased approach at all.
