Hi All,

Continuation of Original post,  Before start Migration we do need Validation, In validation stage Normally we take download from System and do checks which are the data needs to migrate to new company code or Plant.. So now what my question is how do we do validation like For example Material master(1000- materials are in System), now we will not migrate all materials which are exist in source system,how do we do validations in this stage to reduce the material list. what are the checks need to do? Do we need to check Sales order and Purchase order list to get Material master data list? Need to check historical data(How do we do?)

Much appreciated to give info ASAP.

Hi Surendar,

          As per my understanding from the above post i assume that you want to reduce the no of records from 1000 to say 600. I don't think validation will help you to reduce the no of records.

It will check a certain condition, if it passes it will show success or failure message if it fails.

But you can filter the no of records from Free form search itself or using expressions.

This filter criteria is based on the ECC system requirement,

Say you've an filed called currency and different values are available but ECC requires only USD currency, you can filter it through Free form search or using expressions.

I hope i understood and answered your issue. If this is not the issue please let me know how i can be helpful.
