SAP S/4HANA Migration
Presented By APPRISIA
SAP S/4HANA migration is a great way to upgrade your SAP ECC 
system without losing any critical data. Successful SAP S/4HANA 
migration offers you a better scope to manage your business.
To ensure the whole conversion goes appropriately and offers the 
desired result, you need to chalk out a plan and follow it step by 
step.
Here in this presentation you will get a detailed guide about 
successful SAP S/4HANA Migration.
The whole migration procedure is completed in two phases:
Phase I: Preparation Phase:
This phase is crucial. You need to prepare your existing SAP ECC 
System for migration by following these steps:

• Planning for migration
Proper planning is necessary. The planning allows you to find details 
about the scope of migration, the budget requirements, schedul
e of migration, and how to project this migration for your organi
zation. Besides that, you also have to check the technical aspects 
of the migration to ensure the procedure is successful. You can c
onsult SAP S/4HANA consulting services for the proper guidanc
e in this stage.
• Check the system requirements
Before you start the migration, you need to find details about the sy
stem requirements for this migration. If your system does not m
atch the criteria, it may not offer the desired results. Hence, alw
ays perform a detailed inspection of the present system and che
ck the following parameters-
- Does it require Dual-Stack Split?
- Does the database need an update?
- Is the system Unicode- enabled?

• Maintenance Planner
For migrating to SAP S/4HANA from SAP ECC, you need to check 
your system through the MP or maintenance Planner Tool. This 
tool from SAP performs an inspection of your system to check if 
the installed add-ons, functions, etc., will be compatible with 
SAP S/4HANA. Besides that, it also has a vital role in offering 
essential files during the upgrade. Hence, you should always 
perform a check with this tool. After the tool finds out the right 
migration path, you can move forward for migration. SAP 
S/4HANA services can offer guidance on this matter.
• Perform Simplified Item Check
The Simplification Item Check allows you to ensure that the existing 
business procedures will run even after the migration. Hence, 
the organization planning for SAP migration must perform a 
Simplified Item check as soon as possible to find the errors that 
may hinder the migration and the right path for migration.

• Migration of Custom code
The last step in this phase is the migration of custom code. In this 
step, multiple development factors like possible enhancements, 
modifications, etc., are analyzed to find which code is 
compatible or not compatible with the new structure. You need 
to perform this analysis and find the necessary adjustments and 
alterations that may help you prevent any hurdles after the 
migration. 
Phase II: Technical Phase:
After you have completed all these steps, your system is ready for 
the much-awaited upgrade or Brownfield Conversion. This 
technical phase involves:
• Software Update Management
The Software Update Management or SUM helps to migrate the 
data which may be required after migration.

• Software Update Management
It is essential for the systems which do not come with a HANA 
database. At first, you have to implement SUM in your database, 
and then include the new tools, applications, etc. After this, you 
can proceed with the migration. The migration will convert the 
data structure and remodel them according to the new system.
After this, your system may be required to go through some 
finishing steps even after the migration to ensure the whole 
system is ready for use.
In that way, you can migrate to SAP S/4HANA securely.
