SAP S/4HANA· Data migration
SAP S/4HANA data migration
After mapping sign-off, a SAP S/4HANA data migration is a controlled load. superglue's agent shows you the target and a transformed sample, waits for your approval, loads in batches, and reconciles source and target. The same saved tools run the trial load and the production load, so production gets exactly what you tested.
How this step works
What the agent does
- Builds the load as saved tools that run the same way every time, with no AI at execution time.
- Loads in small batches and reports rejected records with the reason.
- Reconciles record counts and totals between source and target after each load.
- Runs timed trial loads, so you know how long the final load takes.
What you decide and approve
- When a batch is safe to load. Every write pauses for your approval.
- How rejected records are fixed: in the source, in the mapping or by hand.
- Whether a reconciliation difference blocks the next load.
What the client gets
- A reconciliation report for each load.
- A list of rejected records with the reason.
What makes a SAP S/4HANA data load work
- 01
Pick the Migration Cockpit approach per object
Use files or staging tables for each migration object, or direct transfer when the source is an SAP ERP system. Run every object in simulation mode before the real load.
- 02
Load in the order of object prerequisites
Business Partners, materials and G/L accounts come first, then open items, fixed assets and inventory balances. The documentation of each migration object lists its prerequisites.
- 03
Post balances against migration clearing accounts
Load G/L balances and open items against technical migration accounts. After the load, each clearing account must be zero in each company code.
- 04
Use one migration date
Post balances, open items and the asset transfer date to the last day before go-live. Mixed dates leave differences that nobody can explain at the first close.
Frequently asked questions
How do you load data into SAP S/4HANA safely?
Pick the Migration Cockpit approach per object; Load in the order of object prerequisites; Post balances against migration clearing accounts; Use one migration date. The agent runs the trial and the production load with the same saved tools.
Does superglue write to SAP S/4HANA without approval?
No. Before any write, the agent shows the target, the connection and a transformed sample, and waits for your approval.
How does superglue work with our consultants?
superglue works alongside your team. The agent takes on the repetitive work, such as reading documents, drafting, mapping, loading and reconciling. Your consultants keep the client relationship and the decisions, and they approve every change to a client system.
Can we use our own implementation method?
Yes. Write your firm's method as a playbook, and every consultant and every session follows it. The documents the agent produces carry your firm's branding.
Which systems can we migrate from into SAP S/4HANA?
Common sources are SAP ECC, Oracle E-Business Suite, Microsoft Dynamics AX, JD Edwards and spreadsheets. The agent also reads Excel, CSV and XML exports and most systems with an API or a database.
Is client data safe?
superglue holds a SOC 2 Type 2 report and works under GDPR. Credentials are encrypted with AES-256. On the Enterprise plan, superglue can run on your own infrastructure.
How do we start?
Start with one live SAP S/4HANA project. Connect the client's systems, give the agent the statement of work, and run the first steps together with us.
