Master data governance - Replicate to the same system/client?

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We're evaluating MDG for supplier in our ECC6 EHP5 system. All the documentation I can find talk only about replicating to connected systems using ALE or SOA, but we've only one ECC6 environment and we're running MDG on the same server. Can someone please kindly let me know whether we can replicate the suppliers to the same ECC6 system that MDG is running on? And if yes, how?

Thanks very much for your help

When it comes to master data creation, new data is kept in a staging area on MDG and will only be activated once the foreseen approval workflow is completed. Only then is the data available in the operational system.

Does that answer your question?

Hi Markus,

Sorry for the late reply and I still have some questions. We've got the workflow part working and now the workflow seems to have finished, but the replication through IDOC is not working for us. The IDOC problem is due to the fact that we're sending an IDOC from the same system/client to itself, and there's no way in BD64 for us to maintain such a distribution model.

So is there a way to create/approve vendor master data in MDG on one client and replicate this vendor master to the same client? Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

Luis

Hi Luis,

what is the business reason for this process?

If you use MDG for creating your Vendor, MDG already creates a business partner in database table BUT000 AND a vendor in data base table LFA1. Why do you want to create another Vendor in the same system? This does not make much sense on the first view?!

Best regards

Michael

Hi Luis

There are prebuilt workflows for MDG Supplier. You can use them directly for storing data in your ECC system. After the approval process is completed, MDG for supplier stores data in BUT000, LFA1, LFB1 and LFM1 tables in your ECC system. You can use the prebuilt workflows and UI, to get your job done. Once the approval process is done, data is stored in your system, then you can replicate to other systems
