You are planning an SAP S/4HANA conversion. Which conversion-specific tasks need to be performed during the preparation phase?

Question

Options

• APerform the migration of data to the new data structure.
• BRun the database migration to the SAP HANA database.
• CCheck the compatibility of custom code with SAP S/4HANA.
• DSolve problems from the simplification item (SI) checks.

• B
  2% (1)
• C
  95% (56)
• D
  3% (2)

Explanation

Checking custom code compatibility (C) is a preparation phase task because it must happen before conversion begins - you need to identify which custom ABAP programs, function modules, or enhancements are incompatible with S/4HANA using tools like the Custom Code Migration app or SAP Readiness Check, so you can plan remediation work.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (data migration to new structures) and B (database migration to SAP HANA) both occur during the technical conversion/realization phase - they are execution steps, not preparation steps.
• D (solving SI problems) is a trap: while running simplification item checks is part of preparation, solving the identified problems spans the realization phase, making it not strictly a preparation-phase task.

Memory tip: Think of the preparation phase as "assess, don't act" - you're checking and analyzing (custom code compatibility, SI checks, system sizing), whereas actual migration of data and databases happens when the conversion executes.
