Implementation Objects SAP MDM

Hi evebory!
Somebory already implemented objects (repository) Center of Cost, Locality, Plants, Organizacional Structure and Banks in SAP MDM 5.5 ?
Somebory has documentation or details this implementation or Objects?
Thanks for Help!

Hi Pedro,
SAP has provided with some standard business content for customer, vendor, material, article, product, employee and business partner objects.
For these objects they have defined different field objects or tables that constitutue various organizational structure, bank details, plants, location etc. imformation.
These business content are in .a2a file format.You need to unzip the archieve file and place it in the MDM archieve folder .then you can unarchive it from the MDM console and use this predesigned MDM repository.
Refer to the below notes for more detail.
MDM 5.5 - Business Content: Business Partner (SAP Note 1035773)
MDM 5.5 - Business Content: Product (SAP Note 1252846)
MDM 5.5 - Business Content: Customer (SAP Note 1252884)
MDM 5.5 - Business Content: Employee (SAP Note 1268212)
MDM 5.5 - Business Content: Material (SAP Note 1255401)
MDM 5.5 - Business Content: Vendor (SAP Note 1252883)

Master Data Governance & Implementation of SAP Master Data Objects

I would like to get hold of a case study on Master Data Strategy Governance Framework and Implementation of governance processes for Master Data Objects acrosss all SAP Modules. Governance processes do not have to use SAP MDM for master data management.
If any one in SAP community has implemented Master data governance, I would like to benefit from their experience and hence the request

Hello,
Not sure what sampling approach is, but it certainly help build a business case if you can provide sample data and case studies.
You may refer the SAP Provided PDF and presentations, to build your Business Case.

Business Object Data Services (BODI) without SAP MDM?

Hi,
From an architectural point of view; do you always have to use SAP MDM when you want to use the Business Object Data Services (e.g. for data validity checks when creating customers)?
Or can you use Business Object Data Services in combination with SAP ECC without MDM?
Best regards,
Marius

All Depends on your business needs.
1) As in if you want to use most effective cleansing (BODS contains inbult infor for Adderess cleansing) along with some data governance(Validation, assignments,MDM Workflow) I would say fo with BO-MDM Integration.
2) Here I am not sure via BODS - ECC you can handle ongoing maintainance , it is supreb for first time data load.
so it is better if you use ECC-BO-MDM ---> BI/ECC for smooth transition through out landscape.
3) Here also try to check the data structure compactiblity between BODS and ECC as per their version, it can also create a big impact.
Hope these points can clear many doubts

SAP MDM Implementation Methodology and Architecture

Hello,
I wanted know what are the standard approaches for MDM architecture and MDM Implementation:
MDM Implementation phases:
what are standard phases recomended by SAP?
Architecture:
what are different mdm architectures that an Enterprise can think of?

Hello SudhaViz
SAP MDM can work as independent solution for master data management.
SAP MDM has own servers( MDM Server, Import Server, Sysndication Server, Layout Server, and user application s for server management and master data management.
SAP MDM can work with different RDBMS like as Oracle , MS SQL, My SQL, DB2.
Here is good presentation about SAP MDM and it's business scenarios:

SAP MDM Real-Life Implementations

Hi,
I'm curious to know what SAP MDM implementations are out-there ? Who has implemented SAP MDM in a real-life implementation, in what region, what size and for what purpose ?
Thx,
Dirk

Hi Dirk,
here is some public info:
http://www.google.de/search?hl=en&q=SAPMDMlive+implementation&btnG=Search .
For investors probably there are additional resources.
As I am aware, at this time, MDM 5.5 SP4 patch1 is still in monitored/controlled shipment, and this would probably limit the information you are looking for...
For SAP employees there are other resources.
If you still require additional information, then please ask an MDM forum moderator, e.g. Markus Ganser in email.

Brief discussion on SAP XI and its' Integration with SAP MDM.

Hi,
I have never worked on SAP XI.
I am discussing it on brief, please give your valuable replies.
SAP XI consists of System Landascape Directory(SLD).
SLD Consists of Business System and Techinical System.
Technical System contains all information about the software
component. The Business System consists of Inbound and Outbound Business
System which are used as logical names for data transfer.
There is communication Channel for Receiver and Sender Business System and n agreement
is signed between Sender and Receiver.
Outbound Interface defined for Business System Outbound and Techical System associated
with the Business System,
Inbound Interface defined for Business System Inbound and Techical System associated
with the Business System.
In SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Directory, we have defined the Integration Scenarios,
Actions, Interface Objects, Mapping Objects, Adapters Objects.
Mapping Object defines the Structure and Value Mapping.
Adapter Objects defines the Adapter program which implements RFC Adapter, FTP Adapter logic.
FTP Adapter is used for XI-MDM Communication.
RFC Adapter is used for XI-ECC Communication.
Integration Repository: Both Outbound and Inbound Interfaces are Mapped with Value mapping and
Structure Mapping inside Integration Repository.
The File Adapter takes the File from the Outbound port of MDM System
and sends it as IDOC to Receiver Business System.
Value Mapping must be done between Sender and Receiver interfaces.
Value Mapping is done by XSLT or Java based program.
SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Server at runtime:
Message Split, Interface Determination, Receiver Identifaction, Mapping, Techincal Routing
and Call Adapter Proccess are done.
In SAP XI 3.0 and MDM 5.5:
Step 1: Create busines system as service.
Step 2: Create communication channel for each business service. If the system can communicate
through different channels, then create all possible channel types if necessary.
Step 3: Create receiver agreement between the systems.
Step 4: Interface determination:
- Here you see for the first time the software component mentioned;
there are some special requirements regarding this software component in relation to the customizing ID mapping.
- To modify this software component, the customer needs to copy the SAP standard delivered software component
into its own namespace. The customer is able to modify to create archives
for the customized ID mapping.
Receiver determination.
Configure an FTP Server on the MDS.
Create a send folder for outbound messages using outbound port(s) for
remote systems(s).
Create receive folder inbound messages using inbound port(s) for remote systems.
This ia all about concept of SAP XI Infractsture and its' Integration with SAP MDM 5.5.
Regards
Kaushik Banerjee

Hi Kaushik,
You must be aware of File types that MDM Import Manager can Import i.e. we have XML, Excel etc. Now there are two transactions to extract data from R3
1. MDMGX -
         - For lookup table extraction
         - Output in XML format which MDM can import without using XI.
          - FTP can be configured to put the file in the desired folder which will be then picked by Import Server.
2. MDM_CLNT_EXTR -
          - For Main table records.
          - Output is in Idoc format which MDM doesn't understand hence we need XI in between which converts Idoc file received from R3 into XML which can then be imported using Import Manager or Import Server. For this we need to implement XI Scenario that consists of Source System, Receiver System, Type of Data etc.
Just a basic understanding...

SAP MDM and Zycus or Zoomix or Kalido or Trillium

Hi All,
please, could you help me to understand better which is the best enterprise-wide master data management software solution for harmonizing, storing and managing master data over time??
Even if Ill use SAP MDM; I need to cleanse and harmonize MD.
What about Zynapse? Kalido? Zoomix? Trillium??
Thank u in advance
Regards,
da

Hi,
Kalido MDM :
Master (reference) data management is thought as a special form of data warehouse federation(A federated data warehouse consists of a set of data warehouse instances that operate semi-autonomously, are generally geographically or organizationally disparate, but which can be thought of as one large data warehouse).
   However, experience shows that such systems are complex to manage and that, over time,the absence of a common warehouse (a single common source of master data) leads to inconsistency and frequent errors in transactional data.
    Furthermore, such systems generally do not easily lend themselves to being rapidly adapted to new business requirements since they are often dependent upon writing low-level code to effect the revisions.
            The high level architecture for a federated set of data warehouses with integrated data, based on maintenance of master data using a Master Data Warehouse, which supplies
master data to both the data warehouse federation and the underlying source systems.
It is important to note here that the Master Data Warehouse is in effect an operational system since it manages all master data flowing through the organization.
This demands effective processes and procedures for management and ownership of master data.
SAP MDM
Companies striving to accelerate business growth and improve business performance need to innovate and remain flexible to dynamic market forces. NetWeaver provides the ideal platform for enabling such innovation and flexibility. Satyams NetWeaver Practice provides a host of solutions based on the primary user interface (EP) framework, the primary integration engine (XI), the primary data management tool (MDM), and the business process orchestration tool that enable customers to:
     Design, build, and implement new business processes
     Knit together disparate processes and systems
     Develop a unified view of information from every facet of the organization, and deliver it to stakeholders when and how they need it through a dedicated NetWeaver Center of Excellence
SAP Master Data Management (SAP MDM) enables master data on customers, partners and products to be consolidated and harmonized across the enterprise, making it available to all staff and business partners. A key component of SAP NetWeaver, SAP MDM ensures data integrity across all IT systems.
The SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (SAP NetWeaver MDM) component of SAP NetWeaver creates the preconditions for enterprise services and business process management. The functionality represents customers, products, employees, vendors, and user-defined data objects in unified form. With SAP NetWeaver MDM, customers can manage master data and supplemental content, such as texts, PDF documents, high-resolution images, or diagrams in a central business information warehouse.
SAP Master Data Management (SAP MDM) is a component of SAP's NetWeaver product group and is used as a platform to consolidate, cleanse and synchronise a single version of the truth for master data within a heterogeneous application landscape. It has the ability to distribute internally and externally to SAP and non-SAP applications. SAP MDM is a key enabler of SAP Enterprise Service-Oriented Architecture. Standard system architecture would consist of a single central MDM server connected to client systems through SAP Exchange Infrastructure using XML documents, although connectivity without SAP XI can also be achieved. There are five standard implementation scenarios:
Content Consolidation - centralised cleansing, de-duplication and consolidation, enabling key mapping and consolidated group reporting in SAP BI. No re-distribution of cleansed data.
Master Data Harmonisation - as for Content Consolidation, plus re-distribution of cleansed, consolidated master data.
Central Master Data Management - as for Master Data Harmonisation, but all master data is maintained in the central MDM system. No maintenance of master data occurs in the connected client systems.
Rich Product Content Management - Catalogue management and publishing. Uses elements of Content Consolidation to centrally store rich content (images, PDF files, video, sound etc.) together with standard content in order to produce product catalogues (web or print). Has standard adapters to export content to DTP packages.
Global Data Synchronization - provides consistent trade item information exchange with retailers through data hubs (e.g. 1SYNC) Some features (for example, workflow) require custom development out of the box to provide screens for end users to use.
Trillium :
It is basically used for Data profiling.It can be used for data enhancements with certain address masters and other masters avaialble in the box. There is a lot of data quality analysis can be done in Trillium
Advantages of Zoomix :
1.Fast, accurate, automated, self-learning system :
2.No scripting or rule development required Zoomix Accelerator never requires the development of scripts or the manual definition or maintenance of data processing rules. The system automatically interprets data to learn the optimal matching, normalization and classification required for any data domain.
3.Processes all types of complex corporate data Zoomix Accelerator works equally well with product data, customer data, supplier data, financial data, etc. in any language or combination of languages.
4.Rapid integration into existing applications and business workflows The system's integration with daily user workflow provides objective, on-the-fly data correction. Erroneous, duplicated and incorrectly categorized data are repaired immediately, without disrupting routine business functions.

Limitations in SAP MDM!!

Dear Experts,
Does anyone know about Limitations in SAP MDM!!
Could you please let me know in detail??
Kind Regards
Eva M

Hi Eva,
What type of limitations are you refering to.
One of the major limitations that we have faced in our implementation is if the file size is too big, may be cause of the number of records and the fields mapped out it gets very difficult to manually syndicate the file. If you have any other specific issues could help on that.
In addition some general issue are
Sharing of Lookup tables (e.g. country) across repositories not supported. Linking of objects residing in 2 repositories is not supported with SAP NetWeaverMDM 5.5, natively.Workarounds via the integration into SAP NetWeaver Portal
Use of u201Ceventing technologyu201D mapping of key fields and match of respective values Not sufficient for each and every use case
There is no Migration options. One needs to manually make the changes right from development through to the production environment.
there are lots of limitations on Qualified Lookups in MDM 5.5 and also in MDM 7.1....
1) Can't write Assignments...
2) Failed validation won't specify which qualified link has failed.
3) Compare records won't show link wise comparison of qualified links.
4) Can't start qualified link level workflows.
5) Role level constraints not applicable for Qualified lookup and tables referencing from QL directly or indirectly.
6) Qualified link level check-in check-out operations are not possible.
7) Qualified link level unique constraints are not possible (this becomes pain if links get duplicated by mistake)
8) Duplication of QL link is not allowed in data manager (for copying Qualifier values in new Qualified link).
9) Tuple is replacement for qualified lookup, but its more restrictive than QL (validation are not allowed on multivalued tuple).
One Major limitation that was there in 5.5 was we could only maintain a single Maintable. 7.1 solves that problem.
The following link gives some good examples:
http://www.it-director.com/technology/data_mgmt/content.php?cid=10837
Do let me know in case you need more help or if i was able to help answer your question

Is SAP MDM master data search possible through Enterprise Search?

Hi Everyone
I was looking at finding if the SAP MDM master data search is possible through Enterprise Search?
Is so, Please provide a bit of technical guide on the same.
Regards
Navneet

Hi Navneet,
first releases of SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search featured a preliminary connector to federate SAP MDM's search functionality. However, as no object level access authorization control could be implemented on the current MDM APIs, we have discontinued to deliver that prototype connector. We will be back with access-authorization-controlled connectivity in one of the future releases.

History
SAP is currently on its second iteration of MDM software. Facing limited adoption of its initial release, SAP changed direction and in 2004 purchased a small vendor in the PIM space called A2i. This code has become the basis for the currently shipping SAP MDM 5.5, and as such, most analysts consider SAP MDM to be more of a PIM than a general MDM product at this time.

hi
Master data is the core data of an enterprise that exists independently of specific business transactions and is referenced in business transactions. It builds the foundation for the smooth execution of business processes and well-informed business decisions. Master data represents business objects rather than business transactions and is rarely changed over a long period of time. The following objects are among a companys most important master data objects:
● Product
● Customer
● Supplier
● Employee

SRM Product / Material creation - Data flow to SAP MDM

Dear SAP friends,
I need your help with 2 issues. Thanks in advance for your collaboration.
Our client needs to create products and make them available to purchase almost immediately.
The scenario we had working for the last 2 years was: product creation in SRM (fields: short description / product category / measure unit), that would then be sent to SAP MDM for data enrichment, through BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG (JOB running every 1 minute). This solution worked well for the last 2 years.
Recently, we are having some problems with this job. We noticed that, sometimes SRM doesn´t send the new products to MDM, and we think it´s a report performance problem. The report doesn´t maintain is normal behavior when executed every 1 minute.
SAP advice is to only run this report once a day. That would obviously require having a minimum time frame of 1 day between product creation and its availability (purchase), which isn´t acceptable in this client business model.
Question 1: Did anyone have a client with similar requirement? What was the implemented solution?
Because of report performance problems, we are running it (BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG) every 5 minutes. It happens that sometimes, more than one catalog manager creates products in that time frame, and MDIS when importing the products to MDM, creates one unique workflow JOB making it impossible to assign it to both catalog managers for enrichment.
Question 2: How can we ensure that SRM sends only one product per xml files sent to XI / PI ? Or, perhaps, ensure that XI / PI splits the xml file sent from SRM into several files with one product each.
Thank you very much for your help in advance,
Best Regards,
João S. Carvalho

Hi meka
In product costing values flows as follows;
In product cost calculation raw material prices are costed which comes from material master in MM01
Product operations: i.e material BOM and master receipe or routings from PP module.From PP module operation costs comes in product costing.
In CO module: In Tcode KP26 we maintain activity\cost center planning for activities like machine hours, set up hours, labour hours etc.Here we define plan quantity and plan prices.
In Cost Sheet (KZS2) we maintain base cost elements & overheads and While order creation we calculate planned cost of that particular material.and then check the variances after getting actual cost of product.
Hope this will help you and if found useful assign points.
Let me know if you need more information.
Regards
Nilesh.

Error during the installation of ORACLE 10g for SAP MDM 5.5

Hi all,
I am installing ORACLE 10g on a SUSE LES 9 for a future MDM 5.5 system. While I launch the Installer I get the following error:

I have installed all the required packages from SUSE :

make-3.80-184.1
pdksh-5.2.14-780.7
sysstat-5.0.1-35.7
xscreensaver-4.16-2.6
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Elmar,
I have checked the packages and the XFree86-libs-4.3.99 is not installed. I guess I will have to install it.
Now your question about oracle user. I am not sure if you have performed any SAP MDM installation with ORACLE RDBMS but the installation guide is totally different than the normal SAP inst guides. Indeed someone needs to install separately SAP MDM and ORACLE and in my installation I do not install NetWeaver since it is not mandatory for the testing phase of the project. You can have a look at the guide (it is very poor -no reference to ORACLE details):
https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000271882007E
So the official ORACLE inst gudie says to install the ORACLE software with the oracle user.
Rgds,
Louka
