Dear All,
When We are Implementing SAP S/4HANA solution, We can migrate our master data and business data from
SAP systems or non-SAP systems to SAP S/4HANA. By using SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit.
The SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit uses migration objects to identify and transfer the relevant data. A
migration object describes how to migrate data for a speci c business object to SAP S/4HANA. It contains
information about the relevant source and target structures, as well as the relationships between these
structures. It also contains mapping information for the relevant elds, as well as any rules used to convert
values that are migrated from source elds to target elds. SAP provides prede ned migration objects that you
can use to transfer your data.
The Tool used to perform Migration is LTMC – (Legacy Transfer Migration Cockpit)
https://blogs.sap.com/2019/04/26/ltmc-for-master-data-step-by-step-process/ 1/24
You can access the SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit by using transaction LTMC.
Note the following considerations when deciding on the most suitable approach for your project:
Consideration Files Staging Tables
Size Limit 200MB limit for SAP S/4HANA No Limit.

Migration Cockpit .*
System Considerations None. Staging system uses an SAP

HANA database.
Data Provisioning Enter data manually in each Fill tables manually or by using
Microsoft Excel XML le. preferred tools (for example SAP
Agile Data Preparation).
* For on-premise systems, parameter icm/HTTP/max_request_size_KB controls the size of the http request.

The value of this parameter is the maximum size (in KB) of an HTTP request. This parameter has the standard
value 102400 kb (100MB) but can be changed if required. For more information, see
https://help.sap.com/viewer/fe1dfb6e6c551014b6f1befabc903d5d/7.02.19/en-

A couple quick notes. LTMC goes hand and hand with LTMOM. Keep in mind that if you move between clients
– you’ll have to activate your source code in both.
If you’ve already uploaded a material master but there is an error. I would go and delete the material however
it is still contained in the LTMC Logs. You have to run FM_RESTART_COPY_DELETE to be able to run LTMC for
that material.
If you are a developer using LTMOM, it can be interesting to debug it. When you activate it, it will create a
function module. Go to that function module and set a breakpoint.
I thought I’d add a couple of my frustration points.
Nice overview – I love pictures,
Michelle

Hi Ruthvik
Great blog !!!
Is is possible to nd potential duplicates during data transfer using HANA search capability and merge in best

Hello Sanjay,
Yes its Possible & If Data already exists in System while using LTMC will get error data already exist
LTMC at the moment having some limitations so at this point of time 1809 FPS01 there is no download
Template of Mapping values, but we can expect this functionality in upcoming versions

I have problems with decimals
In Excel the number is 0.58, but the XML is 0.5799999996
LTMC, do not truncate decimals. This generates error in the import by incorrect eld length
Could you help me?

Hello
1. Try to enter in excel ‘0.58 then it won’t convert with extra decimals
2. Select the line where your facing this issue and keep decimal format to 2 numbers so extra numbers won’t
be coming.

Hi,
With the help of your blog, I am doing LTMC- Equipment Master ( PM module ) and its working ne.
The only concern is valid from Date ( Field ) I am putting as old date in equipment template
examples 01.01.2019 but after LTMC successful run, System taking as today date as valid from
Date. ( 30.07.2019). When I am doing manual master dada entry system taking old date as valid
from date,
Please guide me on how to make changes (LTMOM ) or other so that system will take whatever date
we mention in the template.
Thanks,

Hi,
In Data mapping step maintain the date which you want to have as a valid date and try it, if still having the
same issue, in mass change make the correction,
LTMOM is used to make changes to Upload program like adding new Z elds etc

Thanks Rithvik for such details on the concept. Also to Michelle for sharing some useful tips. Just wanted to
know how to move the codes from client to client. During LSMW days we used to export and import between
clients. Can we do the same for LTMC too ? Do you have any steps for the export/import ?

HI Thank you, it works, and i have other question like if we maintain di erent external address number in
general data and additional address sheet, it creates two line items in the address data. it is correct or wrong?
Based on the point mentioned in your blog followed the same lines for Customer.
“12. In Additional Address, Sheet maintain All Mandatory elds along with Address elds
Please make sure in General Sheet and in Additional Address sheets maintain External Address Number
di erently it’s just for identi cation purpose”
Thank you, Please revert back.
