Before migrating data for a specific object inSAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, certain prerequisites must be fulfilled to ensure the migration process is successful and consistent. Based on SAP's official documentation, the following two tasks are mandatory:
Predecessor objects have been migrated (Option B):In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, many objects have dependencies on other objects. For example, before migrating purchase orders, you must ensure that the related vendor master data and material master data have already been migrated. This ensures referential integrity and avoids errors during the migration process. TheSAP Help PortalandSAP Data Migration Guideexplicitly state that predecessor objects must be migrated first to maintain data consistency.
Permission to migrate the data has been assigned (Option C):To perform data migration, users must have the necessary permissions and roles assigned in the system. These permissions are required to access the migration tools, upload data files, and execute migration projects. Without the appropriate permissions, users will not be able to initiate or complete the migration process. This requirement is documented in theSAP S/4HANA Cloud Security Guideand theSAP Data Migration Best Practices.
A. You select the same migration method previously used for other objects:While consistency in migration methods can simplify the process, it is not a mandatory requirement. Different objects may require different migration methods based on their complexity and dependencies. SAP allows flexibility in choosing migration methods for each object.
D. All previous migration projects are in the "Finished" status:It is not mandatory for all previous migration projects to be in the "Finished" status before starting a new migration. However, ensuring that predecessor objects are migrated (as stated in Option B) is critical. Some migration projects can run in parallel, provided there are no dependencies between them.
