SAP S/4HANA 2021 – Migration 3
INTRODUCTION
SAP S/4HANA Utilities for customer engagement is a simplified version of SAP CRM embedded into SAP S/4HANA. While its first versions were technically delivered as an add-on (as software component S4CRM). It has been fully embedded into S/4HANA with the 1909 release.
Within SAP S/4HANA Utilities for customer engagement, the S/4HANA Interaction Center serves as central entry point for customer service specialists of a utility company, allowing them to access numerous industry processes and functions. Technically the Interaction Center leverages SAP’s proven CRM Web UI Framework technology, and new UI themes offer a harmonized Fiori user experience following SAP Fiori user interface strategy.
This guide focuses on possible migration scenarios to SAP S/4HANA Utilities for customer engagement. It incorporates questions and feedback received so far from the first implementation projects at utility companies in various regions.

REFERENCE MATERIAL
SAP Help Portal
There are various documentations published on the SAP Help Portal. To access all the relevant information, you need to be locked in with your user account. Component-based documentation for all functions and processes that are supported by this product can be found here:
• Overview SAP for Utilities
• Feature Scope Description
• Product Assistance
• Other Cookbooks and Guidelines
SAP Support Portal
The SAP Support Portal offers support tools, services, applications, as well as related documentation and community content. Simplification Items can be found here.
System Documentation
For each IMG activity, there is documentation available directly in the SAP S/4HANA system, and in many cases as well F1 help documentation for single attributes of the customizing table.
The information in this guide complements the system documentation. Therefore, we strongly recommend to always read the available system documentation as well. To avoid duplication of documentation, we did not copy the system documentation into this guide.
SAP S/4HANA 2021 – Migration 5
MIGRATION SCENARIOS
There are different initial situations of customer-scenarios before starting to work with customer engagement. Therefore those scenarios require a different approach of migration.
Migration from IS-U to S/4HANA Utilities for customer engagement
There are two editions available when migrating to customer engagement:
SAP S/4HANA Utilities for customer engagement, enterprise edition:
• Use more than 50 standard processes
• Enhanced user experience
SAP S/4HANA Utilities for customer engagement, basic edition for Customer Interaction Center:
• No standard processes
• Bring your processes
• For rather technical upgrades from CIC0 or EC20
For customers migrating from IS-U a data load for selected business partner contacts to interaction records is recommended. Therefore see cookbook "Integration and Migration of Interaction Records".
The configuration of IC framework and customer engagement basics is required.
The reuse of front office processes (FOPs) is possible and some of those processes will run as-is. Other processes such as "Move-in" can be eliminated because customer engagement replaces those processes. Some processes will require data flow adjustments.

Migrating from SAP ERP with IS-U Customer Services

For selected CRM business activities the migration tool CRM_S4_BTX_ACTIVITY_MIGRATION is available. Configuration and enhancements need to be migrated manually. Despite high degree of similarity (like-for-like), caution applies to data object changed and simplifications.
SAP S/4HANA 2021 – Migration 8
***Note: For the migration to the enterprise edition, CRM 7 is required.
There is no data migration required for fully replicated objects:

MIGRATION OF IS-U CONTRACTS
With the migration process the customer with active IS-U contracts can use these contracts with the utilities sales contract management function of customer engagement as of release 2020 FPS 0 or higher.
Customizing for the Integration
For the migration processes and for the integration of new IS-U contracts in the utilities sales contract management it is mandatory to prepare the following Customizing activities in the view “Activate Integration.”
SPRO path: SAP Utilities → Customer Engagement → Utilities Sales Contract Management → Settings for IS-U Contract Integration
*** Note: Products to be used for the integration process must be created as a material in the S/4HANA system first (transaction MM02) For further information see SAP documentation of Utilities Product Integration Layer (UPIL).
• Node: Activate Integration
• Define division for which the integration should take place, e.g. Dv = 01 (Electricity).
• Activate check box for integration activation of division.
• Node: Define Product Proposal
• Assign product to division, you must configurate one of the following options, otherwise the integration process cannot be processed:
A. Create a standard product which serves as a kind of placeholder. You can use this product across the entire division without specifying a rate type.
B. Create products that match the division and rate types. One product must be stored per rate category. The product must correspond to this rate category. Typically, the rate category and the installation facts are defined in the product. During integration, product integration is triggered via the "Utilities Product Integration Layer" (UPIL) (IS-U-BI-PI) component.
To avoid product integration, the product must not have an allocated rate category.
• Choose in the node Define Product Proposal for which assigned product you want to define configuration values by activating the line
• Open node: Define Product Configuration Values (optional)
• You can assign one or more characteristics (internal characteristic number) to each product that you want to use for integration and one or more values (characteristic value) to each characteristic. If you assign multiple values to a characteristic, enter a sequential number in the corresponding column as far as permissible for the characteristic.
SAP S/4HANA 2021 – Migration 11
Special Case: Cancel Product Change
If there is a product change from a default product without rate category to a product with rate category, it is subsequently no longer possible to cancel this product change. When the user is trying to execute the process “Cancel Change Product, an error message is displayed after clicking on the one click action.
In order to inform the user in advance that the process "Change Product" cannot be reversed when the product is changed from a product without rate category to another product with rate category, a note is displayed in both the short summary and the main summary of the "Change Product" process. This is also the case, when the process “Multi Change Product” is executed.
Special Case: Change End Date and Cancel Change End Date
If the user is ending the contract or changes the end date of a contract with a default product without rate category, no product integration is triggered. Therefore it will be possible to cancel the process “Change End Date” and “End Contract” without a product integration being processed.
BAdI Implementation
The integration process can be customized using a Business Add-In. To do this, the customer can use the enhancement spot CRMS4_IU_CM_PROCESS_FRAMEWORK to use the BAdI
CRMS4_IU_CM_INTEGRATION.
A BAdI interface is provided, as well as standard values for the respective processes. By implementing it as a BAdI interface, customers have the option of customizing the individual integration processes or replacing them completely with their own implementations. To do this, the customer can use the enhancement spot CRMS4_IU_CM_PROCESS_FRAMEWORK to use the BAdI CRMS4_IU_CM_INTEGRATION.

The IS-U migration process from other systems into utilities sales contract management is integrated in transaction EMIGALL (see SAP documentation IS-U Migration Workbench: Step by Step EMIGALL ).
• Open transaction EMIGALL
• Choose a company
• Relevant migration objects: MOVE_IN and MOVE_OUT
*** Note: To use the migration objects for the migration to utilities sales contract management it is mandatory to prepare the Customizing (see chapter Customizing for the Integration). You can either use a default product or define specific product values for the migration.
It is possible to schedule a job for the execution.
