INTRODUCING SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT OP
The SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit helps you to easily migrate data
from an SAP or Non-SAP legacy system to an SAP S/4HANA system.
Would you like to know more about how to migrate your data to SAP
S/4HANA? If so, follow this interactive demo.

In this demo, you will migrate the master data for two banks with branch
name S/4HANA from the legacy system to the SAP S/4HANA system.
The same approach can be used to migrate master data or transactional

data for other business objects.

Manage Banks - Basic tile under the Bank Account Management group.

banks are created after the migration activity.

migration objects to identify and transfer the relevant data.
