If you are new to any Iron or Steel Projects or if you like to know more about this industry, this is the magic wheel, that you should be looking for.
This gives you on the fundamentals of each process/ product as you click on them
Conversion factor of single-unit batch.Message no. MILL101
In case if you are facing the below error , espcially in case if you are using the IS-Mill functionality or the single unit batch concept.
Conversion
factor of single-unit batch Message no. MILL101.
This message is received if there is any inconsistency in the Batch specific unit of measure that has been adopted in the batch classification, Especially when you make return delivery or other cancellations if the Batch specific uom characteristics is not empty then this error will occur.
Sales order Creation with Variant Configuration
The creation of sales order with variant configuration characteristics will be a little tricky one.
we have to use the below Function module(FM) –
For Creation : SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE
For Changes: SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CHANGE
one of the advantage of using this FM is that this will support all document types like Sales order, Scheduling agreements, Customer independent Requirements.
In the following section we will see the usage of this FM to create a simple Customer Independent requirement (MD81) with the variant configuration values passed on to the same.The below are the fM structure you need to work with
| ORDER_HEADER_IN |
| ORDER_ITEMS_IN |
| SALES_SCHEDULES_IN |
| SALES_CFGS_REF |
| SALES_CFGS_INST |
| SALES_CFGS_VALUE |
ORDER_HEADER_IN:

SAP DMC – List of Migration Objects
In this post we will understand what are all the migration objects that Standard SAP is offering us as part of the Data Migration cock Pit.
In case if you have landed to this post directly do check the previous post for easy understanding.
To access the standard list kindly click here and in case if the Link is not working then do copy and post the below link in the browser.
Once when you open the link then , this will provide you all the information.
As you enter the migration object , 1st you need to apply the filter in the top portion for the version and the language. As SAP is continously releasing new objects in subsequent releases , you need to ensure which exact version you are working on.
Also Note the SAP DMC has been introduced only from 1909 so make sure you are on version above 1909 to use this DMC features.
Once you have selected the correct Version then you will see the list of the all the migration objects .. Here you can filter with the migration object and you can also filter based on the Object type- if it is master data or the transaction data. The important attention is to be given to the available migration approach if it can be done through the File/Staging table or direct transfer. Also note DMC is widely used on ERP / EWM / AFS so kindly make sure you are checking the releavant application here. Filter can also be applied on the components.
With this information provided now you will be able to identify the migratoin object with approach. This should help you to plan your data migration approach of the Project.
Do leave your comments/ query.As we are continiously learning i will update if there is any correction or any topics to be covered.
SAP DMC -Transfer Data Directly from SAP System
In the Previous post , we saw about the SAP DMC introduction, In this post we will see the pre-requisities for migrating the data from the existing ECC System.
Do kindly review the previous post before you start on this Post.
There are many SAP projects which are now on the verse of migration. And SAP DMC till 1909 has offered only the below methods for migration
1)Transfer data using files
- Download template file for relevant migration object
- Populate file with relevant business data
- Upload file to the SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit
2)Transfer data using Staging Tables
- Staging Tables are created automatically (in an SAP HANA DB schema)
- Populate Staging Tables with business data
- Transfer data from Staging Tables to target SAP S/4HANA system
SAP Has provided this Transfer data directly from SAP System (new with SAP S/4HANA 1909).
Transfer data from SAP ERP source system to target SAP S/4HANA system
- Access source system through RFC connection
- Supports data migration scenarios from other applications for example, from SAP Apparel and Footwear (SAP AFS) to SAP S/4 Fashionand Vertical Business, SAP Extended WarehouseManagement (SAP EWM) to Decentralized EWM
You want to migrate data from an SAP ECC 6.0 system or an to an SAP S/4HANA On-Premise system using Migration Cockpit,then one of the below Prerequisitie is to have DMIS installed in the ECC system.
The Below notes gives detailed information of the Complete Pre-Requisites.

SAP Data Migration CockPit
What is SAP DMC ?
SAP DMC Stands for the SAP Data Migration Cockpit. SAP is Sunsetting the support of LSMW and other upload tools in the Hana Envirornment.
Earlier the Data migration was done using the LTMC. SAP offered the features of migrating or uploading the data for the S4 hana system with the predefined objects like Materail master, BOM , Routing etc.
It has options to Upload the data using files or staging tables this was available in the S4 Hana version 1909.
But From S4 Hana (OP) 2020, it is strongly bringing the SAP DMC is the only source ( Same as LTMC) but the addittional feature here is we can directly connect the ECC system to S4 Hana system through this SAP DMC and perform the required data migration.
This also provides features to do the Mapping ( Transformation) in case if there is any changes in the master data, etc if the costcenter is changed then we can provide the source vs target and which help to create the new cost center in the S4 Hana system.
The intent of this post is to bring awareness on this tool and further topics will be detailed in the subsequent Posts.
More details about this SAP DMC is available in this link https://www.sap.com/documents/2017/07/26113ac0-c47c-0010-82c7-eda71af511fa.html and also keep watching this space for more updates on this topic
Time Zone
Generally, when we have a system and users working in multiple time zone, consultants/businesses need to understand the below basics:
- The system always stores the material document with the system date and time only
- The posting date will consider the user timezone and stores in the document.
Below SAP Notes will be of quick help.
