This playbook covers the migration of customer master data from Oracle E-Business Suite R12.2 to SAP S/4HANA 2023 for GlobalTech Manufacturing. The migration includes 45,000 active customer records, 120,000 contact persons, and 68,000 ship-to addresses. Approach: phased migration with parallel-run validation over a 2-week window.

ELSE:
target.PARTNER = next_number_from_range('BP01')
INSERT INTO cross_reference_table (ORACLE_PARTY, SAP_BP_NUMBER)
