Master Data

Company CodesiA company code represents a legal entity in SAP (e.g. a subsidiary or branch). Each one has its own financial statements and reporting.Number of legal entities

Payment TermsiPayment terms define when and how invoices are paid (e.g. "Net 30 days" or "2% discount within 10 days"). Each unique configuration counts as one.Unique payment term configurations

Payment WorkbenchiThe payment workbench is where your finance team manages outgoing payments (bank transfers, cheques, etc.). Each company code typically has its own setup.Company codes with payment workbench

G/L AccountsiGeneral Ledger accounts are the individual line items in your chart of accounts — things like "Cash at Bank", "Revenue", "Office Supplies". Every financial transaction is posted to one of these.Chart of accounts entries

Cost CentersiCost centers represent departments or areas that incur costs, such as "Marketing", "IT", or "Plant Floor A". They're used to track where money is being spent inside the organisation.Cost center master records

Profit CentersiProfit centers represent business units that generate revenue and cost — like a product line, region, or division. They help management see which parts of the business are profitable.Profit center master records

Business PartnersiBusiness partners are the customers and vendors your company does business with. In S/4HANA, the old separate "customer" and "vendor" records are merged into a single Business Partner model.Customers + vendors (BP model)

Fixed AssetsiFixed assets are long-term items your company owns — buildings, machinery, vehicles, IT equipment, etc. Each asset has a master record tracking its value, depreciation, and location.Asset master records

Custom ProgramsiCustom migration programs (Z-programs) are bespoke code written to move data from non-standard tables or legacy systems that SAP's standard tools don't cover. Each one requires individual development.Z-Tables / legacy migration programs

Balance StructuresiBalance sheet and P&L structures define how your financial statements are organised — which accounts roll up into which headings. Most companies have one of each.Balance sheet / P&L structures

Charts of AccountiA chart of accounts is the master list of all G/L accounts used for financial reporting. Companies operating in multiple countries sometimes use more than one chart (e.g. local GAAP vs. IFRS).Distinct chart of account configs

Exchange Rate PairsiIf your company transacts in multiple currencies, each currency pair (e.g. EUR→USD, EUR→GBP) needs conversion rate configurations to be migrated.Currency pair configurations

📄

Transaction Data

Account BalancesiOpening balances for each G/L account at the time of migration — the starting financial position that the new S/4HANA system needs to pick up from.Open balance line items

Open ItemsiUnpaid invoices and bills at the time of migration — both money owed to you (receivables) and money you owe to suppliers (payables) that haven't been settled yet.Open receivables/payables

Historical PostingsiPast financial transactions (journal entries) that you want to bring into the new system for reporting continuity. The more history you migrate, the more effort is required.Old postings to migrate

🏭

Master Data

PlantsiA plant in SAP is a physical location where goods are manufactured, stored, or distributed — factories, warehouses, and distribution centres each count as a separate plant.Manufacturing / storage plants

MaterialsiMaterials are the products, raw materials, and parts your company buys, makes, or sells. Each material combined with its organisational data (plant, sales org) creates a separate record to migrate.Material master × org. units

Bill of Material ItemsiA Bill of Materials (BOM) lists all the components needed to make a finished product — like a recipe. Each ingredient/component line counts as one item. This is essential for manufacturing.BOM line items

Work CentersiWork centers are where production actually happens — a specific machine, assembly line, or team station on the factory floor. They define capacity, scheduling, and costing for manufacturing.Production work centers

Work Plans (Routings)iWork plans (also called routings) describe the step-by-step production process — the sequence of operations, which work centres are used, and how long each step takes.Production routings

Production VersionsiA production version links a BOM with a routing to define one complete way to manufacture a product. Products with alternative methods (different lines or recipes) have multiple versions.PP production versions

Business PartnersiLogistics-specific business partners include suppliers you order materials from and shipping partners. These are separate from financial business partners if they have logistics-specific data.Logistics-specific partners

Price ConditionsiPrice conditions are the rules that determine pricing in sales and purchasing — discounts, surcharges, freight costs, taxes. Each rule or agreement is a separate condition record.Pricing condition records

Custom ProgramsiCustom migration programs for logistics data from non-standard tables or legacy systems. Same as financials — each requires individual development effort.Z-Tables / legacy programs

📄

Transaction Data

Inventory ItemsiCurrent stock levels across all warehouses and storage locations — what you have on hand at the moment of migration. Each material-location combination is one inventory item.Stock entries to migrate

BatchesiBatches track specific production runs of a material — important for traceability in industries like food, pharma, and chemicals. Each batch has its own expiry dates, quality data, etc.Batch master records

Open Purchase DocsiPurchase orders that have been placed with suppliers but not yet fully received or invoiced. These need to carry over so you don't lose track of pending deliveries.Open PO line items

Open Sales DocsiSales orders that have been received from customers but not yet fully delivered or billed. Migrating these ensures no customer orders fall through the cracks during the switch.Open SO line items

Open Production OrdersiManufacturing orders that are currently in progress — items being produced on the shop floor that haven't been completed yet. These must transfer to keep production running smoothly.Process/production orders

Planning RequirementsiPreliminary demand forecasts used by the planning system (MRP) to calculate what materials need to be ordered or produced. Important for continuity in supply chain planning.Preliminary plan items

Historical Goods MovesiPast warehouse movements — goods receipts, issues, transfers between locations. Migrating these provides historical traceability for auditing and stock reconciliation.Old goods movement docs

🔐

User & Access Data

PrintersiSAP printer configurations control how documents (invoices, delivery notes, labels) are physically printed. Each printer setup — including output type, format, and destination — needs to be recreated.Printer configurations

Message ConditionsiIn S/4HANA, the old output system (NACE) is replaced by BRF+ rules. Each message condition — like "send invoice PDF via email" or "print delivery note" — must be converted to the new framework.NACE → BRF+ output conditions

RolesiAuthorisation roles define what each type of user can see and do in SAP — for example, "AP Clerk" can post invoices but not approve payments. Each role's permissions must be migrated and tested.Authorization role definitions

UsersiEnd-user accounts — the people who will log in to the new S/4HANA system. Each user's account, role assignments, and personal settings need to be set up or migrated.End-user accounts to migrate

What Happens If You Wait?

Delayed migrations don't just miss deadlines — they cost real money every week through downtime risk, compliance gaps, and lost productivity.

Current DelayiHow many weeks your S/4HANA migration is currently behind the original timeline. Even if you haven't started yet, count the weeks since you planned to begin.How many weeks behind schedule?

Cost per Week of Delay (€)iThe estimated weekly financial impact of not being on S/4HANA — including downtime risk on aging ECC systems, compliance exposure, manual workarounds, and missed efficiency gains. €85K/week is typical for mid-market firms; adjust to your situation.Downtime, compliance risk, lost productivity

Effort Benchmarks

The effort estimates in this calculator are based on SAP-standard migration object benchmarks covering Financials (FICO), Logistics (MM/PP/SD), and User/Basis modules. Each data object type — from G/L accounts and business partners to materials and production orders — carries a per-unit effort factor that reflects real-world migration complexity for manual (Greenfield/Bluefield) and automatic (Brownfield/Migration Cockpit) approaches.

Fixed overheads for preparation phases (scoping, mapping, template setup) and cross-checking/validation cycles are included per module, as these are unavoidable regardless of data volume.

Pricing Basis

The TechHawks rate reflects our standard nearshore delivery pricing from certified SAP developers based in our Estonia, Germany, and Hungary delivery hubs. These are fully loaded rates including project management overhead, infrastructure, and quality assurance.

The market average rate is pre-filled at €95/hour, reflecting published averages for SAP consulting in Western Europe from premium consultancies and Big 4 firms. You can adjust this to match your actual vendor quotes for a more precise comparison.

Cost of Delay Figures

The default weekly delay cost of €85,000 is based on industry benchmarks for mid-market enterprises (500–2,000 employees) factoring in: unplanned downtime risk, compliance exposure from running unsupported ECC systems, productivity losses from manual workarounds, and opportunity cost of deferred S/4HANA capabilities. Actual figures vary significantly by company size and industry — adjust the input to match your own risk assessment.

Important Disclaimers

This calculator provides indicative estimates for the data migration effort only. A full S/4HANA migration project includes additional workstreams such as fit-gap analysis, custom code remediation, testing, training, and cutover planning that are not covered here. Actual scope, effort, and pricing will be confirmed during a TechHawks discovery assessment tailored to your specific SAP landscape.
