3469111 - How to make changes if any wrong mapping in Supplier ID during Migration Process.

Symptom

User executed Migration (Example :migration of materials), where migration is successful but migrated data shows wrong Supplier ID.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

SAP Cloud for Customer

Reproducing the Issue

1. Go to Business Configuration workcenter

2. Navigate to overview view

3. Search Migration Activity (Example: Migration of Materials)

4. Select Source file

5. Execute Migration

Migration is successfully executed but after Migration Supplier ID is not shown as expected.

Cause

The value conversion for the migration tool uses the initial ID mapping for the respective business objects, and is shared across all migrations that use the same property.

In our example for Supplier ID, this means that if the ID was mapped to a different value during the migration of Suppliers, the same target value will be suggested for Supplier IDs in the migration of materials ,account determination groups etc.

Resolution

Following the example of Supplier ID migration, you can check the value mapping for an object by following the below steps:

  1. Go to Business Configuration work center.
  2. Enter the Overview view.
  3. Search for activity Migration of Suppliers and open it.
  4. Choose Migrate Suppliers Using the Migration Tool.
  5. In the Show dropdown list, select Completed Files.
  6. Select You Can Also.
  7. Choose Export Value Conversion to File.

This will download a text file where you can see the value mapping that was used during the initial migration. This value mapping will be used in any other migration that has a value conversion task for Supplier ID

To make the corrections follow below Steps,

  1. Go to Business Configuration work center.
  2. Enter the Overview view.
  3. Search for activity Migration of Suppliers and open it.
  4. Choose Migrate Suppliers Using the Migration Tool.
  5. In the Show dropdown list, select Completed Files.
  6. Choose You Can Also.
  7. Choose Export Value Conversion to File.
  8. Edit the Target Supplier ID for the one changes is required
  9. Save the Exported Value Conversion File where changes are made in your Local folde.
  10. Go back to Step 6 and Choose You can Also
  11. Select Import Value Conversion to File.

NOTE: Do not make any changes in Exported File other that the Supplier ID where wrong mapping has taken place.
