Dear All,

When We are Implementing SAP S/4HANA solution, We can migrate our master data
and business data from SAP systems or non-SAP systems to SAP S/4HANA. By
 RSS Feed using SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit.

The SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit uses migration objects to identify and transfer
the relevant data. A migration object describes how to migrate data for a specific
business object to SAP S/4HANA. It contains information about the relevant source
and target structures, as well as the relationships between these structures. It also
contains mapping information for the relevant fields, as well as any rules used to
convert values that are migrated from source fields to target fields. SAP provides
predefined migration objects that you can use to transfer your data.

The Tool used to perform Migration is LTMC – (Legacy Transfer Migration Cockpit)

You can access the SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit by using transaction LTMC.

Note the following considerations when deciding on the most suitable approach for
your project:

Consideration Files Staging Tables

size of the http request. The value of this parameter is the maximum size (in KB) of
an HTTP request. This parameter has the standard value 102400 kb (100MB) but
can be changed if required. For more information, see

Hi Ruthvik

I need a way to create QM views for a bunch of materials in mass.

Is there a standard template available for the same?

Under the older LSMW, I would have created a recording of MM01, where I select the QM view
for the required plant and proceed with maintaining the fields which I wish to update for my
materials.

In fact, I need to update only these four fields for my material-plant combinations:

MARA QMPUR QM in Procurement is Active

MARC SSQSS Control Key for Quality Management in


Procurement

MARC QMATA Material Authorization Group for Activities


in QM

MARC KZDKZ Documentation required indicator

Can you guide me as how to go about it? is there a standard way to extend a particular view in
MMR , in my case , the QM view?

Hi Ruthvik,

Excellent document.

I have a small doubt in Material Load. My question is if we are loading different material types then we have the
different views( Raw Material - No Sales views required, FERT - required all views). How to handle this in a
single file?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Venkat.

LTMC will automatically detect views based on material type no need to maintain manually based on
information we maintain views will get selected

Hi Ruthwik

LTMC is out good old friend. Quite innovative one is it, indeed.

I just looked at CVT_MATNR, starts with statics: ... well, I am prepared to find go to as well.

We still have a bad clue that 65% and 83% are somehow hardwired...

Regards

Janos
