How does SAP MDG process duplicate supplier address updates from an external supplier portal when the change request is held for period-end?
In this scenario, the portal submits two supplier address updates for the same Business Partner, the MDG integration staging table gets a new record for each request, and the scheduled background job processes the entries, creates/updates the Change Request, and routes it to the approver in My Change Requests - Monitoring.
In this scenario, the portal submits two supplier address updates for the same Business Partner, the MDG integration staging table gets a new record for each request, and the scheduled background job processes the entries, creates/updates the Change Request, and routes it to the approver in My Change Requests - Monitoring.
SAP MDG accepts the second supplier address update as a new staging-table record while the first one is still unprocessed. After the scheduled background job runs, the entry is marked Processed, the Change Request number is written back to the staging table, and the approver receives the CR in My Change Requests - Monitoring for validation and approval.
Process flow
- Submit the first supplier address update from the External Supplier Portal.
- Verify that an entry is created in the MDG integration staging table using SE16N.
- Submit a second address update for the same Business Partner before the first is processed.
- Verify that another staging-table record is created.
- Run or wait for the scheduled background job in SM37.
- Verify the staging-table entry is processed and the CR number is updated.
- Confirm the approver notification email.
- Log in to Fiori launchpad as the BP approver and open My Change Requests - Monitoring in Fiori.
