New to SAP MDM

Hey friends,
Can anyone of you please let me know the prerequsites for taking SAP MDM Trianing Course??
Thanks in Advance
Rinky.

I don't know which trainning course you are talking about, but I can tell you what you definitely need in order to get a good understanding of MDM:
1) Basic SQL DBMS administration and knowledge, such as SQL Server, Oracle DB/2. You must know how to model tables, attributes, data types etc.
2) Good understanding of Central Catalog Management, you could have background either on Requisite, SAP CCM or any other Catalog.
3) It would be good if you knew other SAP components such as SAP XI, SAP ERP, SAP SRM, since MDM is a core component for those apps.
I hope this helps

Create Roles with acess control in SAP MDM

Hi Experts,
I am new to SAP MDM.I want to know how to create roles with access control for various users in SAP MDM.
Thanks,
Manoj

hi,
in the console; you can create roles with access control and you can assign these roles to users.
follow this path:
Console --> repository --> Admin node --> roles,
here you can create new role. for role here you can maintain
1. role detail
2. Functions --here you can restrict the particular role , none / Execute the functions.
3. Tables/fields -- here you can give access to the role Read only / Read and write, and you can apply constraints also.
and follow the links:

Evaluating SAP MDM

Hello everybody we are new to SAP MDM and we are evaluating it but we have some doubts can anybody help me with the nexts points:
1.- Can we get SAP MDM wihthout SAP Netweaver??, it's in my understanding that SAP MDM is an application separte from common SAP applications and was not developed by SAP and contains it's own repository and don't run on a WebAS, it's obligatory to get SAP Netweaver to get SAP MDM???.
2.- To connect SAP MDM with SAP R/3 4.6C it's obligatory to use SAP XI as Process Integrator or can we connect SAP MDM and SAP R/3 4.6C by RFC, iDoc's or any other interface like a SAP MDM Adapter????
Thanks in advance for your help,
Regards
Julio Cesar

Hi Julio,
SAP MDM itself is a kind of platform rather an application, & MDM is one of the component of SAP Netweaver platform, without WebAS and Portal & XI it is difficult to deploy & map the requirement of customer into SAP MDM.

SAP MDM Console not allowing to add new fields or load repository

Hi all,
We are in SAP MDM 7.1 SP06. I do have access to create table, fields, ports etc., And I also have access to load and unload repository.
But when I login to SAP MDM Console and repository, options to load repository --> immediate and update indices are disabled. This is happening for Add/ Delete Table/Fields/Port etc.,
However, if I login to repository using MDM console in another laptop or system using the same userid, I am able to perform all the operations mentioned above.
Can you please help me with any suggestions to fix this. I do not want to reimage my laptop now inorder to fix this.
I tried to uninstall and install mdm console again but in vain.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
In the Main Menu you have a lock sign,click on that and unlock the view.
This should solve the problem.

Using the Open Catalog Interface (OCI) between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM

Hello ASUG Community.
I'm working on an SAP-MDM project where we will configure the OCI interface between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM. The business requirement will be to punch out to SAP-MDM's catalog from SAP-ECC for expensed items (e.g., no material master record exists in SAP-ECC).
The data that will be returned to SAP-ECC will be purchase price info, material group, short text, & our global SAP-MDM item number.
The question I've been trying to design around is "where to store the SAP-MDM item number"?
I've looked into creating a custom filed on EKPO but now feel that a configured text field will be the best solution from an SAP-ECC point of view (less effort on the SAP-ECC side from a development perspective, no need to regenerate the EKPO table, etc.).
The question I'd like to pose to ASUG is.... Does anyone have experience or an opinion to offer using this functionality? It seems that I will have to code in a user exit or BAdi to insure that the SAP-MDM item numbers are returned to the appropriate text field on my POu2019s. Or can this be done using the standard OCI functionality?
I found OSS note 1347656 which references BADI "ME_CATALOG_INTERFACE" but I'm not sure if this right path to go down or if this would be the correct place to code non-conforming OCI mapping requiremetns.
Any insight would be most appreciated.
Thanks. Sincerely,
Rich Wortmann

I would suggest you create a new field for this as you may require thois going forward for reporting as well. Text fields are difficult to report.
Sorry not sure about the BADI to use.

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.

Nilesh.

SAP MDM Vendor email addresses are not in order when sent to SAP R/3

Hi Experts,
We were trying to maintain vendor email addresses in this order in SAP MDM:
E-mail address: massupa@nexus
Sequence Number: 001
E-mail address: win@nexus
Sequence Number: 002
E-mail address: satita@nexus
Sequence Number: 003
But when saving the record, its order get mixed up like below: (I believe it was arranged alphabetically automatically---> is this the standard MDM functionality?!)
E-mail address: massupa@nexus
Sequence Number: 001
E-mail address: satita@nexus
Sequence Number: 003
E-mail address: win@nexus
Sequence Number: 002
When it gets syndicated to ECC, its order was maintained incorrectly with incorrect IDs:
E-mail address             ID
massupa@nexus        001
satita@nexus              002   -
> should be 003
win@nexus                 003 -
> should be 002
we checked both the XML Files and the IDOC and found that it has the same order maintained in SAP MDM
massupa@nexus        001
satita@nexus              003
win@nexus                 002
But how come the IDs were changed in R/3?
Many thanks in advance!

Hi Mike,
As per your requirement, i feel that for ID either you can create a new field say sequence ID in this e-mail addresses table of MDM and thus can syndicate it or can also use ID as key using remote key concept. I mean for this e-mail addresses table, you can set property Key mapping = yes in MDM Console and thus can use this IDs as key for this email address e.g. for massupa@nexus you can save ID as Key.
So during syndication, map this field with target IDOC structure field and I mean Remote Key under e-mail addresses table with IDOC ID target field. In this way you can have correct IDs with their corresponding email addresses.
Kindly let me know if you are looking for something else.

Mandeep Saini

Hi Guruva,
If you are talking about MDM APIs, then you will get them from Service place when you download the complete MDM 5.5 Suite. You need to choose the API which is appropriate to you. MDM comes with 2 different APIs - Java API and COM API as of SP1(The news is.. ABAP API is under development).
Pre-requisite for building applications using Java APIs is basic Java skills.

SAP MDM Non SAP Systems

Hi Gurus,
I am new to MDM. Can you tell me how to link up SAP MDM and a Non SAP client. How does the data flow from the client to MDM.
Grateful for your help
Regards
Leo Gift

Hi Leo
If you are using a middleware to connect the source & destination, then the file formats supported by middleware will be the limiting factor for data communication. The data from source systems gets converted to the format supported by middeware & then output file from the middleware can be in one of the forms supported by import manager.
Similarly in syndication, the output can be xml or flat file formats.

SRM 7.0 on NW 7.01 with SAP MDM 3.0 Catalog

Hello,
We are implementing the following Components:
SRM 7.0
MDM 7.1
BI
PI 7.0
Portal 7.0
We are currently live with ECC 5.
We will be using the SAP MDM Catalog along with SRM. We will be also implementing MDM to use for Master Data Cleansing. I wanted to know whether we will need to install the SAP MDM Catalog on the SRM7.0 system or can we install it on the MDM 7.1 system and then connect it to SRM?
Any pros/cons if we can use it as part of the MDM landscape?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sheldon,
Great question. Technically speaking, you can certainly use your SRM-MDM repository on the main MDM 7.1 system. However, the following cons apply:
1. Even though it contains several core components from Netweaver (NW) MDM, SRM-MDM Catalog is being developped by SAP as a separate product. The patch releases between SRM-MDM and NW MDM are also not in synch (at least that's the current situation). Therefore, if you have both applications on one MDM system, you will have an undesired dependency related to applying new patches - which may lead to some issues.
2. Performance of one application will be impacted by the load on the other one.
3. Down time of one application will impact the users of the other one.
4. Upgrades will be more difficult to handle.
On my recent project, the direction from SAP was to use two different systems - one for SRM-MDM, one for NW MDM.
Cheers,
Serguei
