Transitioning from ECC to S/4HANA: Finding Replaced Transaction Codes

Introduction

As SAP consultants, transitioning from ECC to S/4HANA comes with its challenges, especially when it comes to identifying which transaction codes (T-Codes) have been deprecated or replaced. Understanding these changes is crucial for smooth adaptation and process optimization.

In this blog, we will explore how to quickly identify replaced transactions in S/4HANA using standard SAP tables and system navigation.

Identifying Deprecated Transactions in S/4HANA

When migrating to S/4HANA, you may want to check which ECC transactions are no longer available and their corresponding replacements. SAP provides a straightforward way to retrieve this information.

Step 1: Use Table PRGN_CORR2

Once you have access to your development system in the S/4HANA landscape, follow these steps:

1. Open SE16N (Table Display Transaction).
2. Enter the table name PRGN_CORR2.
3. Execute the query.

This table provides a list of all deprecated transactions along with their replacement T-Codes (if available) and the SAP release in which the change occurred.

Step 2: Identify Your SAP Release Level

To ensure you are looking at the correct data for your S/4HANA release, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to System > Status in your SAP GUI.
2. Under the SAP System Data section, click on the magnifying glass.
3. Look for the SAP_BASIS release level.

This information will help you filter the results in PRGN_CORR2 based on your specific S/4HANA release.

Why This is Important for SAP Consultants

1. Efficient Troubleshooting: Knowing which transactions have been replaced prevents confusion and allows for faster resolution of process-related issues.
2. Seamless User Transition: End-users often struggle with missing transactions; consultants can proactively guide them to new equivalents.
3. Smooth System Migration: Ensuring compatibility and proper mapping of transactions is vital for a successful S/4HANA migration.

Conclusion

Migrating to S/4HANA involves several technical shifts, including transaction code replacements. By leveraging PRGN_CORR2 and checking your SAP_BASIS release level, SAP consultants can efficiently track these changes and ensure a smooth transition for their clients and teams.

Stay ahead in your SAP career by keeping up with these changes and ensuring a hassle-free migration to S/4HANA!
