Hi Guys,

Can you please explain the difference between the Product Repository and Material Repository.

Thanks,

Hello,

The MDM Products repository is structured to maintain the "sell- side" of the organization, meaning these are the products that the organization sells.

The MDM Material repository, however, is structured to maintain the "buy- side" of the organization, meaning these are the raw materials that the organization buys in order to produce/ manufacture its products.

These differences are also seen in the schema -the data elements that are maintained for each repository.

Product Repository contains the information of only finished goods whereas Material Repository contains informaiton of all other like Raw Materials, WIP, COnsumables etc.

Hi SAPXI,

if you have an idea of what repository is, then its just like creating repository A and repository B.

Both repositories would have a model based on the requirement.

could you brief a bit more on your requirement.
