Master data creation process

[Former Member]

Hi,

This question is regarding SAP R/3. In our company, master data is created only by different group brands, while used by different group subsidiaries.

We have a case when a material is not available (not created by brand).

What is the best practice to manage this in SAP? How to make a request for materail data creation and how to follow up the validation process with the concerned brand?

Thanx & Cheers

Hi Akram,

If you are usingt MDM to maintain master data then your problem can be solved by portals.Portals provide a presentation scenario for creating and modifying data in MDM.Also portals look after much needed validations.However if you do not need MDM then you can use Function module to trigger a request for customer creation while passing the optional parameters and returning the most important material/customer/vendor number.You need to store this number for further ref.You can do the validation in module itself or can look after workflows.

Hi,

You can have a <b>SAP workflow</b> to take care of request for material data creation, its creation, validation, notification.
