Orphaned Project Materials: A Persistent Challenge in Every S/4H Upgrade

Don't load your new S/4H system with junk!

Orphaned project materials are the scourge of every capital intense company.

Get rid of them asap, before you upgrade.

Here is how to get started.

Orphaned project materials are those materials that physically exist in your warehouses and laydown yards, but are not assigned to an active project.

They take up space, incur inventory cost and are a nightmare to migrate. Get rid of them. Here's what we suggest 👇🏻

1. Take a physical inventory of all project materials

2. Take a digital inventory of all project materials

3. Identify those materials that are not associated with an active project

4. Scrap them, return them, sell them, bury them (don’t). Do whatever you need to do to get rid of them before you upgrade to S4!

Complex project data cleansing is crucial to your upgrade success

So, remember…

No matter how far out your S/4HANA upgrade is.

The cleanliness of your project data will be critical to the success of your project. Start cleaning now.
