Why spare parts data becomes critical in S/4HANA migration
Because S/4HANA exposes data issues that legacy systems could hide.
- S/4HANA is a business transformation
- Multiple ERPs and CMMS must be consolidated
- S/4HANA requires consistent, standardised master data
- Duplicates and obsolete parts increase migration risk
- Low-quality data drives unnecessary complexity and cost
How to prepare spare parts data for migration
By cleaning and harmonising data before it enters S/4HANA.
- Start harmonising MRO data across legacy systems ahead of cutover
- Apply a unified spare parts catalogue across sites
- Clean data from ERP exports, files and documents
- Identify duplicates, obsolete and inconsistent materials
- Limit migration to relevant data
