I am sure you will have functional person to help you to understand the validation / configuration required to build the scenario

Hi Ashok,

I would suggest you to take a help from the R/3 functional consultant if you really need to understand the Material Master. Although you can go through the business content for SAP MDM material master but that wont be able to give you the business knowledge or the concepts of every segment of the Material Master. our approach should be to go through the SAP help of each field in R/3 and make sure you understand where that field is used and impacts and who else other than the R/3 functional consultant would be better to do that.

Hi,

I agree with what Indraveer said. One more way to quickly learn it, is to practice it. If you have any sandbox ECC system then go to transaction MM01/MM02 and try to create and edit material master. on Every field of Material master views do an F1 help and read the help content. This will help you to understand significance of each field . once you understand the business significance of each field in ECC then only you will be able to model a prefect repository in MDM.

Hi,

What is the procedure to get the ID and password for the SAP Marketplace? I have no clue about that. Please somone tell me how to register. When i tried to register it was asking for Partner ID, which i dont know where to get. Is this not free?

[Former Member]

You need to contact your SAP Service Marketplace Super Administrator ERP head or SAP Practice head in your current organization to have an S-User ID created.

Also, The SAP service id can be obtained based on the Installation number of the SAP system. You can ask your BASIS for the user id and password for SAP service marketplace. They can tell you about your organizations Partner ID with SAP
