Download and upload mapping

In transaction LTMOM, you have the possibility to download and upload mapping, either for dedicated migration objects or
for all migration objects within the project. Transformation Rule is called Mapping Task in the migration cockpit (SAP Fiori).

has happened, the icon goes green. The system
automatically created 1:1 mapping proposals for all
selected values. You can now download the mapping

Adapt the selection (technical selection)

In transaction LTMOM, you can change the selection for each migration object. Note that it is your responsibility to
care for the consistency of the items to be selected.

It is possible to create rules for

▪ fixed values, as you find for example in migration object FI-GL
Right mouse-click Open items for fields posting date and offset account number

Debugging the simulation

With the Simulation button you can test how the source fields are
transferred to the target SAP S/4HANA system. You can specify
whether all the items should be involved or just some items
corresponding to criteria that you provide on the selection screen.

If required, you can debug errors directly in the target system.

Key takeaways: direct transfer – migration object modeler

▪ SAP delivers a standard selection based on the chosen scenario

(e.g. ERP source). This standard selection from the source system
can be adjusted
− on table level for each field of the source table
− by using filters, e.g. company code, controlling area, plant, …
▪ Mapping download and upload functionality
▪ The migration object wizard supports you in creating a migration
object. Details are added directly in transaction LTMOM
▪ Custom-own tables can be part of your migration object data model
▪ Assign a standard SAP API or custom-own API to the migration
object. If the chosen API offers a simulation function it can also be
used within the migration cockpit
▪ The customer-own migration object is displayed and monitored in
the migration cockpit (SAP Fiori) in the same way as the migration
objects delivered by SAP
