Few query regarding MDM and SRM-MDM

Former Member

Dear All,

Currently I am working in SRM 5.0 with CCM. For self learning purpose, I have install MDM 5.5 in my laptop. I have following query regarding MDM:

1. Do SAP provide different MDM software for SRM- MDM or the same ? I mean, SRM- MDM use MDM 5.5 software and SAP

provide repository for SRM-MDM.

2. Can we use the SRM-MDM software for maintaining other master data other then master data relevent to SRM ? For example ,

can we use SRM-MDM for maintaining customer, vendor, GL etc master data ?

3. Suppose a clinet alredy has MDM software befor SRM implementation. In such case do the client need a new MDM for SRM or

can use the existing MDM for SRM by creating new repository for SRM ?

4. Do SAP provide pre-configure UI with MDM 5.5 ? I have install all the component of MDM 5.5 in my laptop, but could not find the

UI software (or icon).

Your assistance will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

SP Sahu

Hi,

Please see my comments below:

1. Do SAP provide different MDM software for SRM- MDM or the same ? I mean, SRM- MDM use MDM 5.5 software and SAP

provide repository for SRM-MDM

-- Yes you are right. SRM-MDM 2.0 uses MDM 5.5 software and repository for SRM-MDM. MDM comes with the SRM-MDM Catalog Package( But not all the components).

2. Can we use the SRM-MDM software for maintaining other master data other then master data relevent to SRM ? For example ,

can we use SRM-MDM for maintaining customer, vendor, GL etc master data ?

-- I don't think you can do it. As told earlier SRM-MDM package doesn't contains all MDM components for example syndicator, syndication server, publisher etc.. I am not sure about licencing, but feel with SRM-MDM licence, you will not be allowed to maintain other Master Data.

3. Suppose a clinet alredy has MDM software befor SRM implementation. In such case do the client need a new MDM for SRM or

can use the existing MDM for SRM by creating new repository for SRM ?

-- If your client already has MDM installaed then you can use same MDM by downloading appropriate SRM-MDM package. Please check note no 1083126 for version mapping between MDM5.5 and SRM-MDM. But it is not recommened to use same MDM for SRM-MDM and other Master data like customer, vendor etc.

4. Do SAP provide pre-configure UI with MDM 5.5 ? I have install all the component of MDM 5.5 in my laptop, but could not find the UI software (or icon).

-- MDM server is accessed by Using MDM components like data manager, console etc.

Please let me know if you have any query.

Regards,

Shiv
