Stop in SUM-Run S/4HANA with AddOn "PLVAT 100"

[martingroth]

Hi all,

We use the SAP AddOn "PLVAT 100" on our ERP-System. Now we are in a Sandbox-Project for S/4HAN-Conversion. Unfortunately this add-on is not mentioned in the Pre-Checks for S/4HANA Conversion or in the Maintenance Planner. Last Friday we had a dialog in the SUM, where we were asked about the add-ons. For one AddOn we have the necessary .PAT files, which were then accepted without complaint. Only with PLVAT we didn't get any further.

We have then the SAP hint 2351241 - SAF-T Poland: Release Strategy for "SAP ERP, add-on for Polish SAF-T regulatory requirements 1.0"

which contains the following, among other things:

The ERP add-on "PLVAT" is compatible with the following S/4HANA releases:

- S/4HANA 1809 (since PLVAT100 SP05)

Since we only work with SP04 so far, we have assumed the cause for our problems. We also read Note 2345524.

We then aborted the SUM and imported the SP05 for PLVAT into the ERP environment.

Yesterday at noon we had another XML file created via the Maintenance Planner and started the SUM again. Unfortunately we had to find out that the SUM stops at exactly the same point and reminds on the AddOn "PLVAT 100".

Did anybody had the same Problem and can give me a hint how to act in this Case?

Thanks and best regards

Martin

Hi Sanil,

thanks a lot for your answer!

Well, we actually did the update to SP05 and started the whole procedure again. New Maintenance Planner Run, new SUM-Run. And, for sure, we will update the AddOn also on our productive System-Landscape.

But SUM should accept this AddOn in the actual Release-Version! If we had to uninstall the AddOn, we'd lose all the data in the environment, wouldn't we?

Thanks again and best regards

Martin

Some years later similar problem 🙂 We are on the verge of a ERP to S4H 2023 conversion. PLVAT 100 SP11 is needed for S4H 2023 but incompatible with our current ERP version, so we cannot update PLVAT beforehand the conversion.

• How did you end solving the issue?
• Was a new maintenance planner / restart SUM "enough" to get through?
• Were you ending up uninstalling PLVAT? If so, would that lead to actual data loss or is it just some overhead since the original data lies within the FI documents and is not related to PLVAT itself?

Kind regards and Cheers

Jens

Hi martingroth

I was part of a recent conversion in which I had the same issue as well. For sure, you need to be on SP05 for PLVAT 100 to be able to proceed with the conversion. We also landed up in the same error. Since you mentioned that it is a sandbox system and I am sure you will have couple of more sandbox and development systems, you need to deinstall the ADD ON.

This means, the PLVAT JPK will not work in Sandbox. However, in parallel please upgrade the add on in Dev/Test/Prod before you start the conversion of the system
