Repository Types

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am in charge of sizing an MDM project and I am wondering how to determine what MDM Repository Type is currently in our landscape.

􀂃 BP STD (Business Partner Standard) - standard repository for business partners

􀂃 BP EXT (Business Partner Extended) - business partner BO as defined in the ESR

􀂃 SRM - standard SRM repository

Not sure what each of these mean or how I can figure out what we have.

Any ideas?

Hi Nichole.

To check it the repository is used for SRM scenario, then you will find the following tables available in it.

Price Information, Contract Price, Hyperlinks etc.

The above tables are used for the business purpose of SRM-MDM Catalog scenario.

For other usecases, please check the following notes

If you are using MDM5.5, then check the following notes:

MDM 5.5 - Business Partner (SAP Note 1035773)

MDM 5.5 - Product (SAP Note 1252846)

MDM 5.5 - Customer (SAP Note 1252884)

MDM 5.5 - Employee (SAP Note 1268212)

MDM 5.5 - Material (SAP Note 1255401)

MDM 5.5 - Vendor (SAP Note 1252883)

If you are using MDM7.1, then check the following notes:

MDM 7.1 Vendor Content (SAP Note 1318478)

MDM 7.1 Material Content (SAP Note 1355137)

MDM 7.1 Customer Content (SAP Note 1412742)

Hi Chandar,

Thanks for your help. I can now rule out the SRM scenario, since we are using MDM 7.1 for Vendors. I looked at your notes but cannot find anything to help me decipher if I have a BP STD or BP EXT scenario, If we used the SAP standard business content would it be the BP STD?

Hi Nichole

If you have used the SAP standard business content then it should be the BP STD scenario for which you need to do the sizing.

thanks-Ravi

I think it is difficult to comments based on the repository Name because as such I never came acrooss best practices doc for Naming repositories in MDM.

In general, it is possible that BP STD means Business Partner standard content used as it is. AND bp ext means Business Partner standard content enhance as per business requirment.

you need to have a look at the data model to compare this.

Cheers,
