SAP Cutover Activities Management

Uplatz provides this comprehensive training on SAP Cutover Activities Management. It is a self-paced video course. You will be awarded Course Completion Certificate at the end of the course.

In SAP project implementation, the final phase of the project is called GO-LIVE and before we GO-LIVE into the SAP Production system we need to make sure the below activities are completed:

• All our development activities are completed
• All our testing activities are completed
• End user training activities are completed
• All project documents are consolidated and ready
• Respective solution USER MANUAL / SOP is ready
• Respective solution configuration guide is ready
• No incidents / defects / tickets are in open state
• Other readiness checks are looked into

Once we are done with the final preparation readiness check then we strategize how to smoothly move from the legacy system to SAP system and start using SAP system for day to day business operations after final GO-LIVE.

Learn the process and steps to be aware of while creating the cutover plan and cutover activity sheets. The dedicated trainer will guide you through all the activities for this phase. As each activity is completed, the aforementioned Cutover Activity Sheet is signed by the executor of that activity and turned into the project management function before any dependent activity can be started.

The Go Live strategy comprises of the following:-

1) Cut off procedure

2) Pre-Go live checks

What is meant by cut off date?

SAP system is configured as per the requirement of the client. The system is ready for the client to use. The client now needs to migrate from the Old system (Legacy system) to the new SAP system.

The migration from the old system to the new system is known as cut off date.

The old system is switched off and the new SAP system is switched on.

The data will be migrated from the old system to SAP. The data will henceforth be entered in the new SAP system.

To have a smooth switch over from the Legacy system to the new SAP systems are devised the cut off procedure.

Cutover strategy includes creating a document to maintain the key strategies, dos-donts and the best practices that are to be followed to ensure a smooth transition from source/legacy systems to the SAP system.

Based on CUT-OVER strategy we GO-LIVE into the SAP system from legacy system.

Below are some of the strategies:

• Data migration strategy
• Data segregation strategy
• Data backup strategy
• GO-LIVE critical and NON-GO-LIVE critical data
• Transition strategy
• Communication strategy
• Blackout period
• Dos and donts
• Strategy for open and partially processed transactions
• Other activities
