data maintenance in mdm - Beginner ?

[Former Member]

Hello friedns,

I'm a begginer in MDM.

Can anyone tell me,

1. How data is stored in MDM?

2. take an example, I have an R/3 system & now i'm connecting it to my MDM system and load the datas to it from R/3.so what will happen to the data? whether the dats will be replicated or it will be moved & R/3 fetches from the MDM whenever it requires data .

It's not a physical move/relocation of master data:

Once master data has been uploaded and consolidated on the Master Data Server, it is stored there as a reference object (Master Data Server Object)and a replicate (with the appropriate information) will be sent to the relevant client systems to automatically create/update master data in the client systems.

To get an overview of the process flow within Master Data Harmonization, see the Scenario Description http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm300/helpdata/EN/a4/69c33eb9601549e10000000a114084/frameset.htm.

Kind regards, Markus
