How to Business Scenario and Need for Customizing Synchronization?
SAP MDG requires aligned relevant Customizing before governed master data can be distributed to ERP/S/4HANA systems. The guide recommends defining a project-specific object list, deciding source and target roles, and then performing initial plus ongoing synchronization.
SAP MDG requires aligned relevant Customizing before governed master data can be distributed to ERP/S/4HANA systems. The guide recommends defining a project-specific object list, deciding source and target roles, and then performing initial plus ongoing synchronization.
SAP MDG governs creation, change, search, and deletion-related master-data processes using workflow, and that governed data is then distributed from the MDG hub to connected operational and BI systems. For this to work consistently, the relevant master-data-related Customizing has to be aligned first.
Process flow
- Decide the MDG deployment model: standalone hub or co-deployment.
- Identify all participating systems for governance and replication.
- Determine which Customizing areas must be identical.
- Classify Customizing into reference data, project-specific IMG Customizing, master-data-related Customizing, and MDG Customizing.
- Build the relevant Customizing object list.
- Define the source and target role for each Customizing category.
- Maintain each Customizing setting once where possible.
- Filter Customizing to the synchronization scope/object list.
The source names IMG, transports / BC Sets, ALE Customizing Distribution, Customizing Synchronization, ChaRM, Retrofit, and Reference Data Governance, but it does not provide exact transaction codes or SPRO paths.
