Before migrating data for a specific migration object in SAP S/4HANA, two fundamental prerequisites must be met. First, any predecessor objects must have already been successfully migrated. Data objects in SAP have inherent dependencies; for example, master data like Customer and Material must exist in the target system before transactional data like Sales Orders can be migrated. Second, the user performing the migration must have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile. Data migration is a critical task, and access is controlled through specific business roles and authorization objects to ensure data integrity and security.

B. All previous migration projects are in the "Finished" status: This is incorrect. The SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit allows for multiple migration projects to exist and be active concurrently, often for different data scopes or company codes.

C. You select the same migration method previously used for other objects: This is not a mandatory requirement. A project can utilize different migration approaches (e.g., Staging Tables vs. Direct Transfer) for different objects based on the source system and project requirements.

Data Migration Status App: "Some migration objects have predecessor migration objects. You cannot migrate data for a migration object until you have successfully migrated data for its predecessor migration objects." This directly supports answer A. (Source: SAP Help Portal

Setting Up the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit: "To use the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit

you need to have the business role SAPBRCONFIGEXPERTDATAMIG (Configuration Expert - Data Migration) assigned to your user." This documentation confirms that specific permissions are mandatory

SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit: The documentation describes the different migration approaches (Migrate Data Using Staging Tables

Migrate Data Directly from SAP System) as distinct options that can be chosen when creating a project

implying they are not mutually exclusive or required to be uniform across all objects. This refutes option C. (Source: SAP Help Portal
