Data Migration Cockpit - VC Material variant

[ZGIUS]

We are currently using the SAP Data Migration Cockpit (DMC) in S/4HANA to migrate Material Master data, including Variant Configuration (VC) for configurable materials.

We have encountered an issue when attempting to migrate Classic Variant Configuration (i.e., configurations that are not Advanced Variant Configuration - AVC).

The Technical Observation

Upon tracing the migration process, it appears the DMC migration object invokes the Function Module VCH_MATERIAL_CONFIG_CREATE. Inside this FM, we identified a hard-coded check or logic related to the processing mode:

The code seems to include a check that only permits the execution when the process mode (PROC_MODE) is set to 'A' (Advanced Configuration).

This effectively prevents the migration of any data related to Classic Variant Configuration (proc_mode = ' ') via the standard migration object, as the system seems to be designed to only allow AVC.

The Question for the Community

1. Has anyone else experienced this specific limitation when migrating materials with Classic VC using the standard SAP DMC migration object (e.g., Product or similar)?

2. What was your workaround or solution?

   • Did you have to customize the migration object in LTMOM?

   • Did you switch to a different loading technique (e.g., using a custom BAPI/FM that supports VCH)?

   • Is there a specific SAP Note (KBA) that addresses the use of Classic VC within the DMC?

Any insights or recommended approaches from the community would be highly appreciated!

Thanks Giuseppe!
