SAP Finance Data Migration

1.1Data Assessment & Quality Review

Review and challenge source data extractions (Trial Balance, Open Items, Fixed Assets) by performing the usual integrity checks (checking that the sum of the auxiliary/non auxiliary open items is indeed equal to the general balance of the reconciliation G/L account, checking that the MRU does not create a VAT impact if we decide to take over the VAT manually or does not take over a duplicate VAT impact depending on the data migration strategy, checking that the auxiliary files for taking over fixed assets do indeed loop back to the trial balance, etc.).

Ensure compliance with the Canal + Universal Accounting Data Migration Engine (MRU) templates and data specifications.

Ensure compliance with rules of good accounting orthodoxy.

Identify quality issues, inconsistencies, missing data.

1.2Chart of Accounts Mapping & Finance Alignment

Lead the mapping between local charts of accounts and the Group chart of accounts.

Establish and support the Data Migration Strategy Matrix that carry the data migration rules per G/L accounts (Balance vs Open Items vs Not Migrated).

Make sure that the settings/key attributes of SAP G/L accounts respect the operation of the G/L accounts in the Legacy system. And vice versa. And if differences, they have to be well documented and validated by CANAL+. For instance, a target G/L non-auxiliary account for source auxiliary operations.

Coordinate decisions with Group Finance and document all mapping rules and exceptions.

1.3Preparation of the SAP Environments

Create / update general ledger accounts

Perform deduplication and migration of Business Partners (customers and vendors) based on name, National Unique ID (for example VAT ID Numbers) and address.

Configure the MRU parameters for data loading

1.4Execution of Migration Cycles

Perform the loading of Trial Balance, Open Items, and Fixed Assets for:

oRUN 1: Structural validation in DS4 environment (as of 31/12/2025)

oRUN 2: Functional and reconciliation testing in YS4 environment (as of 30/03/2026)

oProduction RUN: Final cutover in productive environment (as of 30/06/2026)

Contribute to reconciliation exercises (source vs SAP) and conduct User Acceptance Tests with Local Teams on migrated data.
