Data Migration and Cutover

Data migration involves transferring legacy data into the SAP system using tools like the Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW), which reads data from files, converts formats, and loads it into SAP. Cutover activities for going live include uploading master data like G/L, vendors and customers, as well as transactional data like balances, advances, and asset values. Other pre-go live steps are ensuring customizing, number ranges, operating concerns, material masters, purchase orders, and stock are uploaded and configured in the production system.
