With the acquisition of a new business unit, there was a need for Data Migration from their Oracle E-Business Suite to SAP ECC. They needed an efficient data migration solution for this.
Client has successfully completed the data transfer using MDO (Master Data Online). Data was extracted from Oracle E-Business Suite, transformed to SAP ECC structures and nomenclature. The extracted data from Oracle was staged in MDO and all the transformations were done using SAP Data services. The transformed data was then stored in MDO and loaded to SAP using data load files. Business transformation rules were applied on MDO for defining the SAP ECC format for a smooth transition of data from MDO to SAP ECC. Post the Data Migration, a data reconciliation and data quality report were executed within MDO to ensure data accuracy and successful migration of the entire data set.
