Key generation in Remote Systems.

[Former Member]

Hi,

When we are creating a remote Sytem we have a filed called Key Generation , where we can specify the from , to Range.

Can any one provide me the business scenario where this key generation is used?

I have an idea about key mapping which is used to differentiate filed values which are different in connected remote systems.

regards,

Venki.

Hi Venki,

The key generation is a very useful concept.

For Key Generation = Range, From=100, To= 200:

You need to map the Remote key to MDM_Material field during syndication in which you want to maintain the value.

So the first time you syndicate data, 100 will be assigned to the MDM_Material field for the syndicated record.. so on..

It gets updated to your field only after syndication and you can see it on edit key mapping against the record.

For Key Generation with Qualified range:

You need to select the lookup table, based on whose values you want value to be maintained in MDM_Material.

And for each value in the lookup field, you can select the range.

Example: Assigning Material number based on Account Groups.

Hope it help.

Thanks,

Priti

Hi Venki,

Sometimes, there is need to generate SAP material number during syndication to a flat file on the basis of qualified range.

Please find the scenario where there is use of this Key Generation. You can also try at your end by following step by step approach to get familiar with Key Generation concept.
