Source system has to be Unicode, and an ABAP single stack.

SAP ECC 6.0 (with or without enhancement packages) is required as source release version.

Simplification Item checks have to be executed beforehand, and all issues have to be solved, as the SUM will execute the same checks, and will stop in case of open issues.

Maintenance Planner has to be used beforehand to check the system and to provide the stack.xml for the SUM (as well as to provide the required software archives).

The data conversion is partly triggered by the SUM, partly an activity after the SUM run (for FIN and ML data: IMG activities).

Database Migration (if source system is based on non-HANA database): migrate existing database content to SAP HANA database (using Database Migration Option DMO of SUM).
