SAP MDM field status and SAP ERP field status

Just wanted to understand what are the implications of a field status mismatch between SAP MDM and SAP ECC for Vendor Masters. Further, what happens in a scenario where the vendor master data is changed directly in SAP ECC. I am presuming that both systems will not be in sync as the MDM system talks one way and updates the SAP ECC system. Or is there a feasibility whereby any change carried out in SAP ECC is also routed back to SAP MDM.

Hi,
Basically MDM is implemented in order to maintain Master Data at single location, such that control can be incorporate in flow of Master Data.
Thus it is recommended that master data should be changed or created in MDM itself and than syndicated to other systems.
But in case Master Data need to be changed in ECC, MDM ABAP API's can be used to update data in MDM Repositories directly from ECC so that Master Data remains in Sync.
(Using MDM ABAP APIs, code can e developed in ECC to update fields in MDM.)

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.

The difference SAP BusinessObjects BI Suite and SAP BusinessObjects EDGE BI Suite

Hi all,
Would you please explain what is the difference of SAP BusinessObjects BI Suite and SAP BusinessObjects EDGE BI Suite..?

Key difference:
Edge BI Suite does not allow you to do clustering of nodes, but the BI Suite does. This flexibility is restricted in Edge - so it's a single server setup.
Both SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI and SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise share the same underlying platform and tools. The difference is that Edge BI is designed and priced for mid-sized organizations, and is therefore licensed differently.
SAP BusinessObjects Edge BI is licensed for both named-user licenses and concurrent access licenses (CAL). While named-user licenses are appropriate for users who are active in the system throughout most of the day, the concurrent access license provides an economical way to support casual system users. A single CAL license will typically support 5-10 users, depending on the type of usage they require.
While Enterprise (BI Suite) can be implemented for unlimited users across multiple servers and includes clustering and failover capabilities, Edge BI is restricted to a single server and a user count more appropriate for mid-sized organizations.
You can always upgrade to SAP BI Suite if requirement grows and easily migrate all of your BI content including users, groups, reports, dashboards and universes.
The decision now depends on your investment and the allocated budget. I hope this helps.

Difference between SAP BW 3.5 and SAP BI 7.0

actually, i work on SAP BW 3.5, now for new project need knowledge of
SAP BI 7.0
pls, help regarding the differences between SAP BW 3.5 and

it is little urgent.
tks in advance

1. In Infosets now you can include Infocubes as well.
2. The Remodeling transaction helps you add new key figure and characteristics and handles historical data as well without much hassle. This is only for info cube.
3. The BI accelerator (for now only for infocubes) helps in reducing query run time by almost a factor of 10 - 100. This BI accl is a separate box and would cost more. Vendors for these would be HP or IBM.
4. The monitoring has been imprvoed with a new portal based cockpit. Which means you would need to have an EP guy in ur project for implementing the portal !
5. Search functionality hass improved!! You can search any object. Not like 3.5
6. Transformations are in and routines are passe! Yess, you can always revert to the old transactions too

Update the x plant material status and plant speific material status

HI Experts,
I am new to abap. In my requriment i want to update the status of x-plant material status (MSTAE) in MARA and
plant specific material status (MMSTA) in MARC. In master data the status of those fields is blank. Insted of balnk i have to upload '01' or '02'.
using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA i am unable to upload. its not working.
is there any another way to upload that two plants status.
thanks in advance
sravan

Hi martin,
i think insted of it_*** (internal table) we have to use work area. please make sure conform this one.
i am giving my logic wat i have written and my requirement also...
The process to update material master data status is described in 'xxxxx' Mark and Release Cost Estimates and BAPu201D.
u2022     As a result of releasing a standard cost, certain master data elements need to be updated by the Cost accountant in order to enable further activities within SAP.
u2022     All material codes for which Cost Accounting has released a new standard cost, need to have their Material Status indicators changed from 02 (reviewed) to 03 (released). This removes the system blocks on certain activities within SAP like purchasing, production and Sales. The status will be needed to change in two views of the Material Master.
u2022     The u201CX-plant matl statusu201D field on the Basic Data 1 view
u2022     The u201CPlant-sp. matl statusu201C field on the Costing 1 view
This update should be automated
Select materials for which a price change document was posted based on selection parameters.
Select price change documents for company code defined in selection screen since last run date
u2022     Reference procedure = PRCHG (MLHD-AWTYP)
u2022     Entered on MLHD-CPUDT u2013 verify against last run date to include in selection
u2022     Entered at MLHD-CPUTM u2013 verify against last run date to include in selection
u2022     Store last run date and time by company code, so that it can be picked up in the next run. (store in table TVARVC?)
Select only the documents of plants which belong to the company code in table MLIT. The link between company code and plant can be found in table T001K.
u2022     Valuation area = Plant MLIT-BWKEY
u2022     Create a list of all materials MLIT-MATNR
The next 2 updates should happen independently;
u2022     Update the u201CPlant-sp. matl statusu201C field (MARC-MMSTA) on all plant views belonging to the company on the Costing 1 view to status 3 with as prerequisite;
u2022     The current plant material status is 02
u2022     This action must be done on all plants belonging to the company code
u2022     Update the u201CX-plant matl statusu201D field (MARA-MSTAE) on the Basic Data 1 view to status 3 with as prerequisite;
u2022     The current X-plant material status is 02.

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:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/media/uuid/0030d731-65ac-2d10-6197-d64f34811d94

Data Import from SAP R/3 to SAP MDM 7.1 without SAP PI

Hi All,
I have a requirement to import Vendor Master data from SAP R/3 to SAP MDM 7.1 on a regular basis. What are the Options available for data transfer between these two systems without any middleware(like SAP PI,etc). I checked the SAP Documentation and found the scenarios with SAP PI as middleware.
I have few very basic ideas:
1) Will there be any way for SAP MDM to pick a file from certain location and load the data..
2) Shall I use MDM ABAP API to write a program to connect to MDM Repository and schedule this at regular intervals to achieve the data transfer.
Pls suggest the best design approach..
Thanks in advance.

1) Will there be any way for SAP MDM to pick a file from certain location and load the data..
ANS : No, MDM will not pick up the file, file can be pick up from MDM Inbound folder and send from outbound folder for automize process and for MDM manual Process you can pick up and send file to local desktop, network shared path
2) Shall I use MDM ABAP API to write a program to connect to MDM Repository and schedule this at regular intervals to achieve the data transfer.
ANS : require to write code at ABAP side
so ABAP program will pick or send data file to MDM folder
Note following point
1. Require to write ABAP Program which will pick or send data file to MDM outbound / Inbound folder
2. Require to do some technical setting for ABAP program at SAP side, technical person will help regarding this matter
Note : There are many disadvantage and time consuming procss, monitoring file and it is not advisable to go without any intermidiate software for e.g PI, Tibco
Thanks,
Jignesh Patel
