Walk away from this session with an understanding of how to execute migrating to S/4HANA Finance.

One of the key tasks when migrating to S/4HANA is to convert your Financial data from the old tables in ECC to the new tables (particularly the Universal journal) in S/4HANA. This process usually takes place after the technical upgrade from ECC to S/4 and is done during a downtime period. It involves a series of transactional steps that are executed in sequence, with progression to the next step only possible when a previous step has been executed successfully or confirmed. Several iterations of a Finance Migration need to be done in a Sandbox (or test) system in order to resolve any issues that arise. This will therefore make the eventual Production migration smoother and easier to accomplish during the downtime window. It is therefore important to know what steps are carried out and the types of errors that could occur.
