S/4 HANA Finance Migration Cutover Scenario

[Former Member]

HI guys, we are migrating from Classic GL to HANA Fin 1503. One of the requirement of Migrating to HANA Finance is to close the books before migration.

Now let's say my client month closes on 31st December , however the month end activity is carried out upto 6th Jan and hence a backup will be taken on 6th Jan for migration.

Now the issue is what happens to the transaction data from 1st Jan to 6th Jan, the data is still open.

Thanks in advance

Hi Kumar,

This scenario is also applicable when we are migrating from Legacy system to SAP (ECC). in that scenario we had reposted the documents once the system is live and tried to keep the downtime low as much as possible.

In S/4HANA Migration or implementation we have ZDO (Zero Down Time Service) from SAP if the client is having the business requirement.
Please refer below blog for more information, which may help you.
