Create New Custom Migration Object Using LTMOM in Sap S/4HANA

INTRODUCTION

As we know, SAP has pre-delivered objects in LTMC, but there is master data or transactional data that does not yet
have LTMC objects, such as service master. In this post, we will create a custom LTMC object for uploading the CROSS
SELLING (VB41) using LTMOM with A BAPI.

Let's break down how to create a custom migration object using LTMOM (Legacy Transfer Migration Object Modeler)
in SAP S/4HANA, specifically for cross-selling data (VB41) using a BAPI. This is a common task when standard
migration objects don't cover your specific needs.

Steps to Create a Custom Migration Object with LTMOM

1. Access LTMOM: Log into your SAP S/4HANA system and use transaction code LTMOM to access the Legacy
Transfer Migration Object Modeler.
2. Create a New Migration Object: Click on the "Create" button (or similar) to start creating a new migration
object.
3. Provide Basic Information:
o Object Name: Give your custom object a descriptive name (e.g., Z_CROSS_SELLING). Use the "Z" or "Y"
namespace for custom objects.
o Object Description: Provide a clear description of the object.
o Application Component: Assign the object to the appropriate application component (e.g., SD for
Sales and Distribution).
4. Define Structure: This is where you define the structure of the data you'll be migrating. You have two main
approaches:
o A. Using a BAPI Structure: This is your chosen method. You'll need to know the BAPI structure used
by the BAPI you'll be calling (e.g., BAPI_VB41_CREATE). Import the BAPI structure into LTMOM. This
will define the fields available for migration.
o B. Defining a Custom Structure: If you're not using a BAPI, you would define your own custom
structure with the fields you need.
5. Define Source Structure: This describes the structure of your source data (e.g., from a CSV file, Excel sheet, or
legacy system). You'll need to map the fields in your source structure to the fields in the BAPI structure you
imported.
6. Define Target Structure: For BAPI-based objects, the target structure is usually the same as the BAPI structure
you imported.
7. Mapping: This is the most critical step. You need to map the fields from your source structure to the
corresponding fields in the BAPI structure. This tells LTMOM how to transfer the data. Pay close attention to
data types and formats.
8. Define Processing Rules (Optional): You can define processing rules to transform or validate data during the
migration. For example, you might need to convert data formats, handle errors, or perform lookups on other
SAP tables. ABAP code snippets can be used here.
9. BAPI Call: Specify the BAPI you'll be using to create or update the data in SAP (e.g., BAPI_VB41_CREATE).
LTMOM will use this BAPI to process the migrated data.
10. Generate Migration Object: Once you've defined the structure, mapping, and processing rules, generate the
migration object. This creates the necessary programs and structures for the migration.
11. Create a Migration Project in LTMC: Use transaction LTMC to create a new migration project.

 12. Add Your Custom Migration Object to the Project: In your LTMC project, add the custom migration object you
created in LTMOM.
13. Upload Source Data: Upload your source data file (CSV, Excel, etc.) to the LTMC project.
14. Start the Migration: Execute the migration in LTMC. LTMOM will read the source data, apply the mapping and
processing rules, and call the BAPI to create the cross-selling data in SAP.
15. Monitor and Verify: Monitor the migration process in LTMC. Check the logs for any errors. After the migration,
verify the data in SAP to ensure it was migrated correctly.

Key Considerations for BAPI-Based Migration Objects:

• BAPI Functionality: Understand the BAPI you are using thoroughly. Know its input parameters, output
parameters, and any specific requirements.
• Error Handling: Implement proper error handling in your processing rules to catch any issues during the
BAPI call. The BAPI might return error messages that you need to handle.
• Testing: Test the migration thoroughly in a development or test system before migrating data to production.
• Performance: For large data volumes, consider optimizing the migration process. You might need to adjust
batch sizes or use parallel processing.
• Authorization: Ensure the user running the migration has the necessary authorizations to execute the BAPI
and create the data in SAP.

Example (Conceptual)

Let's say your source file has columns like "Sales Org," "Distribution Channel," "Product," "Cross-Selling Product," and
"Valid From Date." You would map these columns to the corresponding fields in the BAPI_VB41_CREATE structure.
During the migration, LTMOM would read each row from your source file, populate the BAPI structure, and call the
BAPI_VB41_CREATE function module to create the cross-selling record in SAP.

By following these steps, you can create custom migration objects in LTMOM to migrate data that isn't covered by
standard SAP migration objects. Remember to thoroughly test your migration object before using it in a production
environment. If you encounter any issues, consult with your SAP consultant.
