Hi Kevin,

Are you using the Rapid Data Migration package?

Thanks Frank for your response.

I am not sure if Rapid data migration package will be used to move data to SAP CRM.

To start with we have started to analyze the new fields in SAP and mapping it to existing Oracle ERP.

I am looking for similar technical document ,if exist, that has field to field mapping from Oracle CRM to SAP.

Thanks,

KC

Hi Kevin,

While SAP does not deliver any source-to-target mapping for non-SAP source, you might get some help from other consultants who did that before.

However, SAP provides with the Rapid Data Migration packages Excel mapping templates that list all the SAP target fields with description, data type, validation rules, metadata etc. This is a good starting point to fill with your specific source system fields and values translations.

You can download these templates directly from the Rapid Data Migration page.

Info:

SAP Service Marketplace - Rapid data migration to SAP ERP / CRM HANA

Regarding full source-to-target templates, these are available for SAP HCM to SuccessFactors Employee Central for example:

Thanks

i would not wait to get something delivered , I  even doubt it can help you. it probably  just wastes your time,
i am in the 6th SAP system merger, and it is even problematic to use the field mapping from the last project. as the target sysem has developed further and some fields that were important in the earlier projects are not more used or have moved from Z-filds into classification. the source systems all had  SAP, they all belong to our own environment, but all are differently setup for their specific purpose, which was important when they got implemented, but is no longer with the consolidation.

i expect that oracle systems are quite simiar in their diversity. hence a mapping from a stranger was good for the srangers system but can completely be off in your particular case.

field mapping is the important task, abd this is done in our projects with about 5 half day meetings, before even somebody starts to get a hand on SAP migration tool.

You have to know how your design in SAP is, and you have to find out how the fields in the legacy system got used, if you have some that can be mapped, or if they did not have this functionality and the fields at all. or if they had fields and functions which might not be supported in SAP.

Plan your meetings, prepare a field list of source and target system, get the experts together, go through the lists field by field.
