Since SAP S/4 no longer supports sales activities, a new object – E4C Activity has been created, with proper transactions to manage it. It's recommended to all FSM Cloud Connector users to use solely this new object. Already existing sales activities can be easily transformed into E4C activities with the migration program.
The migration program can be found in /PACG/ECE package (program /PACG/ECE_ACTIVITY_TRANSFER).
...
Prerequisites
For the migration program to run correctly, the ‘E4C Activity’ flag in transaction/PACG/ECM_CPROP - General Properties of FSM Cloud Connector must be enabled first. The activity type cannot be determined unless this flag is switched on.
...
Data Selection
To transfer sales activities to E4C activities using the migration program, the ‘Data selection’ section of it must be filled carefully. Leaving these fields empty results in migration of all the sales activities found.
To transfer one particular sales activity or a range of activity numbers, use the ‘Sales activity no.’ field.
...
Configuration update
Leave the ‘Change IDOC processing class’ option empty if you want to transfer activities, not configuration (for changing only the configuration classes, see the Post migration section).
Running the program
After filling the ‘Data selection’ and ‘Configuration update’ sections of the program, the user can run the program in either a test mode, or a regular mode.

Post migration
Once the migration is done and successful, set up the configuration for the E4C activity for your business process if it's not created already.
...
From this moment new activities created will be E4C activities.
Post migration configuration update
To automatically update the classes for configuration after successful migration, the ‘Change IDOC processing class’ option should be checked. Running the program with this setting won't result in new activities being transferred/created. Solely the classes will be updated.
