Hello expert,
we are planning a brownfield conversion from EHS Product Safety (Dangerous goods and SDS management in ECC) to S/4HANA Product Compliance Classic Functionalities.
Aside from the activities for the conversion of the SDS Receiver in ECC to Business Partner in S/4, are there other activities to be planned?
I mean necessary activities, so that the following data from ECC will be availble in S/4HANA without any problems:
Thank you in advance
Request clarification before answering.
Hello
reading between the lines you will use this approach
You have an ECC landscape (DEV(QUAL/PROD); then you will prepare a new landscape DEV/QUAL/PROD for S/4 HANA
Step 1. UNDERSTAND THE SIMPLIFICAITON LIST FOR EHS CLASSIC AND S/4
Step 2: then the problem with "Cover Sheet" etc. is "peanuts" as you must first migrate the data (there is much more to look at)
Step 3; to do the job... find a service provider which will help you
I can not list here all the topics you have to "pay attention" on. The list is to huge
I wish you success

Hi Christoph,
thank you for your answer. I am actually from a service provider company.
Since for Product compliance it is not easy to find all information, I posted the question here in hope to gain more insight. I want to make sure that I do not forget anything so that the conversion will go smoothly.
- I have checked all Simplification items for Product Compliance Classic. The customer is not affected from functionalities which are discontinued in S/4
- As far as I understood, in a brownfield conversion the master data will be copied from the ECC system to the S/4 System. If there are master data which cannot be copied and has to be migrated manually, then I would really appreciate if you could list them here
- In terms of activites to be done before and after the conversion I have only found this in the SAP Notes: the activities for the conversion of the SDS Receiver in ECC to Business Partner in S/4. (SAP Note 2267461)
If you know are aware of more conversion activites, please share them here.
Thank you in advance

Hello
the issue is the term "- As far as I understood, in a brownfield conversion the master data will be copied from the ECC system to the S/4 System. If there are master data which cannot be copied and has to be migrated manually, then I would really appreciate if you could list them here"
more specific: Copy the master data
This the "trouble"; and it is a good idea to do data cleansing befor: therefore: do a copy of master data only if it is "active" and needed. This reduces the amount of data a lot (KEEP IN MIND: even if you just "copy" the data: somebody must "validate" that the copy is "ok"
And the "amount of copy" depends on the current used solutions. E.g. do you use the "full EHS classic" ? In most of the cases:
SVT, GLM DG, HSM and Report Shipment are the "core" functions used very often. Therefore: What data exactly has to be "copied": only you can define this (and how to do it.. this is next topic)
And you have a huge liste of versions/options how to do the "copy". Some of them is supported by SAP; some other you must do manually. And the amonf oof work to be foreseen for EHS data migration is BIG (much bigger as e.g. Material Master Data) and risks are huge (a lot of risks to list).
And in most of the projects i know.. a wave approach is used this makes the "migration part" more complex
IN a nutshell. If you come from EHS classic and you go on with EHS Classic.. this is possible, But sometimes other (so called workstreams) change their set up as e.g. SAP SD, PP etc. and as a fact of that you must do afterwork in EHS classic
Wish You the best

Hello Christoph,
many thanks for your input.
The Customer is using mainly the specification database (CG02), SDS generation via WWI, and the automatic SDS shipment.
Hence, we identified the following master data. If this list is not complete according to your experience, then any remarks are highly appreciated and thank you in advance 🙂
During the S/4 Brownfield Conversion, how would the data cleansing activities look like?
Thank you
