Migration from SAP Cableway to SAP for Mill Products

Hello,

Could you please help me on the activities required and roadblocks to take into account for moving from a SAP Cableway solution to the SAP for Mill Products solution?

Any guidelines, documents will be very helpful.

Thank you in advance,

Hello Chris,

There are 2 aspects to consider for the migration project:

1. Technical view

2. Data view

Moving from Cable Solution 4.6C Add on to ERP 6.0 / APO 5.1 is not a simple upgrade.

The CS add on data structures needs to be migrated to ERP (new data mode using characteristics)

Options:

A) 4.6C technical upgrade to ERP and run data migration programs (only master data)

B) New ERP installation and import the needed data from CS 4.6C

For case A) we offer a CS-to-DIMP-Migration-Guide.pdf. You will get as well the migration programs. Therefore please contact your SAP account manager.

Conclusion:

The strategy dependents on several parameters.

In general: As more users, plants, countries are using CS 4.6C, as more obvious will be strategy B approach.
