Introduction to Data Migration Templates
Version S4CORE 104 - 06.03.2021 © Copyright SAP SE. All rights reserved.
Overview
A migration template (Microsoft Excel XML Spreadsheet 2003 file) consists of different sheets which are visible at the bottom of the migration template. You use the
different sheets to specify the data that belongs to different data structures. For example the migration template for the migration object 'Material', contains a sheet
for basic data, a sheet for plant data, and so on. Some sheets are mandatory, and some are optional.
A migration template is based on the active view of the relevant migration object. You can find information about the active view in the Microsoft Excel XML file. In
the file, navigate to File -> Info. You can find the active view name under Properties -> Tags.
Prerequisites
In the Microsoft Excel XML Spreadsheet 2003 file, navigate to 'File' -> 'Options' -> 'Advanced'. Under the option 'When calculating this workbook:', ensure that the
option 'Set precision as displayed' is selected.
Information about File Sizes
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
If you are migrating data to SAP S/4HANA Cloud, the default size limit for each uploaded XML file is 100MB. If required, you can zip several files together. Note that
the combined size of all the XML files you want to add to the zip file must not exceed 160MB. The limit for zip file is still 100MB.
SAP S/4HANA On-Premise
If you are migrating data to SAP S/4HANA, the default size limit for each uploaded XML file is 100MB.
You can increase the size limit for each uploaded XML file to 160MB by changing the system parameter (icm/HTTP/max_request_size_KB). If required, you can zip
several files together. Note that the combined size of all the XML files you want to add to the zip file must not exceed 160MB. The limit for the zip file is still 160 MB
with the adjusted system parameter.
The Field List Sheet
The 'Field List' sheet is one of the first sheets in the migration template. You use this sheet to get an overview of the expected data in one central location.
It contains information about the mandatory and optional sheets, as well as detailed information for each sheet (for example the expected data type and length for
the fields in each sheet).
On the 'Field List' sheet, you can view the following information for each field in the migration template:
• The name of the sheet, and whether it is mandatory or optional. Only mandatory sheets have the suffix 'Mandatory', for example 'Basic Data (Mandatory)'. All
other sheets are optional.
Note:
You can quickly get an overview of the mandatory and optional sheets by looking at the color of the sheet names at the bottom of the migration template. The name
of the mandatory sheets have the color orange, while the optional sheets have the color blue.
• The group name for the fields in a sheet.
• The individual fields in each sheet, as well as whether fields are mandatory for a sheet.
• Information about the expected format of the individual fields, for example the data type and length.
Note:
In the field list sheet, certain technical information about the fields is hidden by default. The columns 'SAP Structure' and 'SAP Field' (columns 8 and 9) are hidden
by default. The column 'SAP Structure' is the technical name of the structure that the field belongs to. The column 'SAP Field' is the technical name of the field. To
unhide these columns, select the columns adjacent to either side of the columns that you want to unhide. Right-click your selection, and choose 'Unhide'.
If you want to extract data from SAP ERP, the technical name of structure and the technical name of the field often corresponds to the SAP ERP table name and
field name. Also, the SAP Release Note (2568909) for SAP S/4HANA Cloud data migration content uses the technical names of the structures and fields.
Working with Sheets
For each migration template, you need to specify data for the mandatory sheets, and for the optional sheets that are relevant for your project:
• Mandatory sheets (orange)
Mandatory sheets represent the minimum set of data you must provide for data migration. Fill in all mandatory fields.
• Optional sheets (blue)
Use optional sheets depending on your migration scope and available legacy data.
Viewing Additional Information for Each Column
In row 8, you can view the field names in SAP S/4HANA, as well as additional information such as the expected format (for example the data type and length). Note
that you must expand the row to view this additional information.
Some fields are mandatory, and some are optional. The wildcard character (‘*’) beside the name of a field indicates that the field is mandatory.
Note:
Although an optional sheet may contain mandatory columns, if the sheet is not relevant for your project, there is no need to fill the mandatory columns in the sheet
with data.
Note:
Rows 4, 5, and 6 are hidden by default. Row 4 is the technical name of the structure (corresponds to the sheet name). Row 5 is the technical name of the field
(corresponds to row 8 - the field description). Row 6 contains technical information such as the data type and length.
To unhide these rows, select the rows adjacent to either side of the rows that you want to unhide. Right-click your selection, and choose 'Unhide'.
Working with Different Data Types
You can view the data type for a field in row 8 (see 'Viewing Additional Information for Each Column' above). Depending on the field, one of the following data types
may be required:
• Text
Letters, numbers, and special characters are permitted. In the SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit, you can map the values of certain fields with the data type text
(usually those fields with Length: 80) to their correct SAP S/4HANA target values. You can do this value mapping in the SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit when you
start the transfer (in the step 'Convert Values').
• Number
Enter numbers with decimals in the relevant country-specific format, for example 12.34 (United States) or 12,34 (Germany). For fields with decimals, the declared
length includes decimals (if required), for example if the information for the column states: Length: 8, Decimals: 3, then a number such as 12345.678 is permitted.
Note that decimal places are not mandatory. In this example, you can specify a whole number up to length 8 without decimal places, for example ‘1’. This number
would be set to ‘1.000’ internally. For negative numbers, ensure that a minus sign ('-') directly precedes the number, for example '-100'.
Note that the maximum field length supported by Microsoft Excel is 15 digits (including decimals). If you have longer numbers, use the option for transferring data to
S/4HANA using staging tables.
• Date
Enter the date in your country-specific format, for example 12/31/1998 (United States) or 31.12.1998 (Germany). Note that Microsoft Excel automatically recognizes
different date formats and transforms them automatically to the correct XML format.
• Time
Enter the time in the format HH:MM:SS, for example 02:52:40
Copying Data to a Sheet
When copying data to a sheet from Microsoft Excel, always right-click the relevant cell and choose the paste option 'Values (V)'. Avoid pasting data that includes
formatting and formulas into the migration template, as this will corrupt the structure of the XML migration template.
Using the Find and Replace Function
Do not use the Microsoft Excel function 'Find and Replace'. If you change data by using this function, you may also unintentionally change the field names and
corrupt the structure of the XML migration template.
Saving the Migration Template
Ensure that you only save the migration template as a Microsoft Excel XML Spreadsheet 2003 file. Other file types are not supported by the SAP S/4HANA
migration cockpit.
Important Information
Do not make any changes to the structure of the migration template, specifically:
• Do not delete, rename or change the order of any sheet in the migration template.
• Do not change the formatting of any cells.
• Do not use formulas.
• Do not hide, remove, or change the order of any of the columns in the migration template.
Note:
Any changes to the sheets will result in a corrupted XML structure. Such modified migration templates are not supported by the SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit.
