Migration of On-Going Project

[mohammedrahman4]

Hi All, 

I need to migrate aroud 500 on going project & their associated WBS elements ( total WBS are 30000 ) together with budget to a new system . Can any one please suggest whether we can develop a program to do this activity ? Is there any BAPI to address this requirement as doing this activity is not feasible ?

Thanking you .

Best Regards 

Mohammed

Can you provide a few more details? What is your source system (Legacy) and what is your target system (On-Premises or Cloud)? Are you using only PS projects or PPM projects?

Since you are going into a S/4HANA system go to API.SAP.COM to get the latest APIs.

Hi Ken , Thanks for your reply . Can you please bit elaborate about API ? What is the difference between BAPI used traditionally & API Concept ? Which API should I use to migrate open project ? Please note that I need to migrate data from excel sheet or flat file only as there is no interface between legacy system & new system ? Thanking you . Mohammed .

The new APIs are built on the latest technology and should be used when posting in S/4HANA. Your developer should be familiar with the difference. You will need to develop a front end app to read your spreadsheet and use the API to post in S/4HANA.

Your migration strategy will depend greatly on what you are converting. Are they all new projects or are they in work and you need to transfer existing costs and or revenues.

Hi Ken, some are new & some are in progress . All these projects are either capex or opex . We do not want migrate cost already incurred however we need to migrate remaining budget .

Remember you'll have to transfer the AuCs that already have value and transfer those values to the new AuCs. Opex projects can just start anew in the new system.
