Known problem & solution


The SAP S/4HANA Data Migration content (migration templates and predefined mapping rules) is based on the pre-configured SAP S/4HANA Cloud business processes.

Therefore, it might comes to bottlenecks when using the transaction LTMC / LTMOM in On-Premise systems, as the Cloud product is a newly developed solution and not a copy of the On-Premise functions.

For more details read following KBAs:

  • 2515151 - SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit: Migration objects or fields which you want to migrate cannot be found

  • 2683477 - Why are fields on screens not available in the migration content? (SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit)


In specific circumstances there is the possibility to extend the pre-delivered migration templates with LTMOM, see KBA:
2576565 - SAP S/4HANA Data Migration - On Premise

However, the modified object falls outside of the scope of SAP Support. See also SAP Note:
2481235 - SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit (on premise) - restrictions and extensibility of pre-delivered migration objects

Last, but not least, to influence SAP Software Development, check the possibilities in SAP Note:

Hello Albert

Does SAP plan to create the migration object for QM notification ?

Hello Ding Yi,

short answer is, no.

QM only deals with master data transfer in the frame of the Migration Cockpit. The possible relation of quality notification to other objects is way to complex (orders, batches, classification, inspection lots, and so on) and there can be also issues with the difference in number range configuration between systems. These are just some examples why developers decided not to support migration for transactional/business data in the QM area.

Nevertheless, if you consider creating quality notifications with specific attributes in a system, I can suggest to test BAPI BAPI_QUALNOT_CREATE.

 

Have a nice day,

Albert

Hello Albert

Thank you for the information ! I am exactly trying with the BAPI BAPI_QUALNOT_CREATE to create my own migration object.
