5-Stage Program
The SAM (Sales Affiliate Migration) program comprises five stages, or waves, of implementation. In the first wave, the cbs consultants transferred the master and transaction data of the sales organizations in Great Britain (UK and Ireland) and the Netherlands to the EMEA SAP target system. For the cbs consultants, this involved migrating more than 30 business objects from the various SAP modules (CO, FI, MM, SD, and WM). Historical data was left in the source system and the number of objects to be transferred remained manageable (e.g. 2,000 SD delivery schedules with 15,000 items and 50,000 schedule lines, 150,000 items of equipment, 25,000 customers, and 250,000 open items).
For example, batch-managed materials became non-batch-managed materials and vice versa, and serialized materials became nonserialized materials. During the data migration, these changes had to be taken into account along the chain linking the material master, batch, equipment, and stocks to achieve a consistent dataset in the target system.
The first fit/gap workshops were to take place only four weeks after the data migration team had begun its activities. In these workshops, representatives from the respective countries are introduced to the best practice processes, which was to be done based on genuine data from the countries. So the first data migration of selected objects had to be carried out in time for the upcoming fit/gap workshops, which presented an additional challenge on the timeline.
