Symptom
- In the Migrate Your Data (Migration Cockpit – Staging Tables) app, the migration object “Purchase order (only open PO)” fails at the Prepare step without any error being displayed or logged.
- In some cases, the message “Error when checking custom fields for migration object” appears during Prepare/Simulate.
Environment
- Product: SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
- SAP S/4HANA Migration Object Modeler
- Migration Cockpit – Migrate Your Data (Staging Tables)
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the Migrate Your Data (Migration Cockpit – Staging Tables) app.
- Open an existing migration project.
- Select the object “Purchase order (only open PO)”.
- Start the Prepare step.
- Observe that the Prepare step fails without any error message.
- Review the monitoring log for the object.
Cause
A side effect of a previous correction introduced an inconsistency in the “Check for Custom Fields” logic for the migration object, causing Prepare/Simulate to fail without surfacing an error in the app.
Resolution
- Run the report CNV_NOTE_ANALYZER_MC_EXT and select “Migration Approach: Migrate Data Using Staging Tables”; apply all listed fixes across the system landscape.
- Implement SAP Note 3830128 to correct issues in custom field determination (DDIC synchronization exception).
- Implement SAP Note 3830864 to correct conversion inconsistency during “Check for Custom Fields”.
