Recommended: Bluefield (Selective Data Transition)
SAIL has 5 independent ECC instances with significant per-plant customizations, especially in PP (Production Planning) and QM (Quality Management) for steel-specific processes. A pure Brownfield would carry forward all 5 instances separately. A Greenfield would lose decades of production configuration.
Bluefield allows you to: (1) consolidate shared processes (FI/CO, MM, SD) into one global template, (2) selectively migrate plant-specific PP/QM configurations only where validated, and (3) leave behind obsolete Z-programs (estimated 2,100 objects unused in last 24 months).
EY precedent: 3 of 4 similar steel/metals EY projects used Bluefield. Average timeline: 24 months. Risk: data deduplication across 5 vendor masters.

| Simplification ID | Description | Module | Instances Affected | Impact | AI Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S4TWL-001 | FI/CO Ledger Merge → Universal Journal | FI/CO | All 5 | Critical | Migrate custom FI reports to CDS views. EY template available. |
| S4TWL-014 | Material Ledger mandatory activation | CO | Bhilai, Bokaro, Durgapur | Critical | Activate ML in all plants. 47 custom cost reports need redesign. |
| S4TWL-032 | MRP Live replaces classic MRP | PP | All 5 | High | Steel-specific BOM explosions need validation in MRP Live. Schedule pilot. |
| S4TWL-056 | Business Partner replaces Vendor/Customer master | MM/SD | All 5 | Critical | 5 separate vendor masters must be deduplicated and merged. ~12,000 records. |
| S4TWL-078 | Output Management framework change | SD | Bhilai, Rourkela | Medium | Custom SAPscript forms → Adobe Forms. 23 forms to convert. |
