Since SAP S/4 no longer supports sales activities, a new object – E4C FSM 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.
...
Set up the prerequisites and run the migration program. Once the migration is successful set up the configuration for E4C activity creation if its not already activated.
Prerequisites:
...
The migration program can be found in /PACG/ECE package (program /PACG/ECE_ACTIVITY_TRANSFER).
...
Prerequisites
For the migration program to run correctly, the ‘FSM 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. 
Migration Program Details:
The migration program can be found in /PACG/ECE package (program /PACG/ECE_ACTIVITY_TRANSFER).
Activities to migrate are defined using Sales Organization number, Distribution Channel number, Division number, Sales activity number or creation date.
- Inb. Data Create.Class - Change 'Incoming Message Attributes' for the message type /PACG/ECM_ACTIVITYIN (New Inb. Data Creation class: /PACG/ECM_CL_S_IDOC_I_ACTIVI_E)
- IDOC Creation Class - Change the 'Outgoing Class Assignment' for message type /PACG/ECM_ACTIVITYOUT (New Idoc Class: /PACG/ECM_CL_S_IDOC_O_ACTI_E)
...
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.
To run the program in the test mode, make sure to check the ‘Test run’ option.
...

'Send activities to FSM option is available with PACG200 SP03 and S4PACG200 SP03 or with the SAP note 3105329 available for PACG110 SP03, PACG200 SP01, PACG200 SP02 |
If the newly migrated activities should be sent to FSM the checkbox ‘Send activities to FSM’ must be ticketed. Otherwise activities will not be sent. In the older version of this report activities were sent to FSM by default.
...
The program will display a warning window with a number of activities to transfer, and then logs showing which activities can be transformed, have already been processed or can't be mapped - no changes will be made in the database, however.
...
If run in the regular mode, the program will act similarly, with proper changes made in the database. First, a warning window displays the number of sales activities selected to be transformed.
...
If no fitting activity is found, an error log is displayed.
...
After clicking ‘Execute’ in the warning window, the transformation takes place. Eventually logs are displayed, confirming successful transformation for specified activities. All the logs can be found in /pacg/ece_acttr table (E4C: Log table with migrated sales activities). 
...
Sales activities are stored in VBKA table. If the migration process succeeded, these activities Transformed activities (from the VBKA table) can now be found in the /PACG/ECM_ACTI table.
If no fitting activity is found, an error log is displayed.
If the 'Test run' checkbox is checked, the program will display logs showing which activities can be transformed, have already been processed or can't be mapped, but no changes will be made in the database.
Post Migration:
- Set up the configuration for the E4C activity for your business process if its not set up already.
...
- The new activities created will be E4C activity.
...
They can also be retrieved in transactions /PACG/ECM_ACTI_VC01, /PACG/ECM_ACTI_VC02 or /PACG/ECM_ACTI_VC03.

Post migration
Once the migration is done and successful, set up the configuration for the FSM 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.
...
The 'Configuration update' section of the program should be filled with classes below:
Inb. Data Create.Class - Change 'Incoming Message Attributes' for the message type /PACG/ECM_ACTIVITYIN - Inb. Data Creation class /PACG/ECM_CL_S_IDOC_I_ACTIVI_E
IDOC Creation Class - Change the 'Outgoing Class Assignment' for message type /PACG/ECM_ACTIVITYOUT - Idoc Class /PACG/ECM_CL_S_IDOC_O_ACTI_E
Data Selection Class - /PACG/ECM_CL_S_SEL_ACTIVITY_E

Let's access sales activity 100001720 via transaction VC03.
This activity can't be found in /PACG/ECM_ACTI_VC03 - Display E4C Activity transaction.
Once the migration process has been launched for this activity, a confirmation log can be seen.
The activity can now be seen as an E4C Activity in transaction /PACG/ECM_ACTI_VC03.
...
Activity migration program upgraded with logs handling, test run and number range logic update.
