• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINS_FI_MIG704 - Expected ACDOCA size is < 1 billion records; no partitioning needed ?

  The SAP error message FINS_FI_MIG704 indicates that during a migration process, the system has determined that the expected size of the ACDOCA table (the Universal Journal table in SAP S/4HANA) is less than 1 billion records. As a result, the system concludes that partitioning of the ACDOCA table is not necessary.
  Cause:
  
  Data Volume: The primary cause of this error is that the volume of data being migrated to the ACDOCA table is below the threshold of 1 billion records. This is a design consideration in SAP S/4HANA, where partitioning is typically recommended for very large datasets to improve performance.
  Migration Settings: The settings or parameters defined during the migration process may not align with the expected data volume, leading to this message.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Data Volume: Check the volume of data that is being migrated. If the data volume is indeed less than 1 billion records, then this message is informational and does not indicate a problem. You can proceed with the migration without partitioning.
  Adjust Migration Parameters: If you believe that the data volume should be higher and that partitioning is necessary, review the migration parameters and settings to ensure they are correctly configured.
  Monitor Migration Process: Continue monitoring the migration process for any other errors or warnings that may arise. Ensure that the migration is proceeding as expected.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP S/4HANA migration documentation for best practices and guidelines regarding data volume and partitioning.
  
  Related Information:
  
  ACDOCA Table: The ACDOCA table is a central component of the Universal Journal in SAP S/4HANA, which consolidates financial and controlling data into a single table.
  Partitioning: Partitioning is a database optimization technique that can improve performance for large datasets by dividing the data into smaller, more manageable pieces.
  SAP Notes and Guides: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or guides that may provide additional context or updates regarding this error message and the migration process.
