Key Facts:
The customer planned to implement S/4 HANA, they wanted to understand the existing data from different ERP systems in order to perform the data consolidation and migration to S/4 HANA. They had 3 different ERP and Non-ERP applications running in different regions (Asia, Europe and North America). Some legacy applications (Non-SAP) are also part of the consolidation like JD Edwards and MAPICS. Business wanted to understand the data readiness for SAP S/4 HANA migration
A detailed data assessment was required to understand the 3 different ERP, Non-ERP applications data. Business wanted to identify the duplicate master records and potential data quality issues. Also, they wanted to know the inconsistent and incomplete master data. In order to check the data readiness for SAP S/4 HANA, it was necessary to do a prevalidation based on SAP S/4 HANA standard business rules and their current fields status group rules.
