Pitfalls of SAP MDG-C/MDG-S

[Former Member]

Hi,

I  want to understand the drawbacks(Functional/Technical) of implementing SAP MDG-C/MDG-S compared to traditional ECC . I find information of advantages of implementing MDG but I  want understand the pitfalls of MDG-S/MDG-C. I have few scenarios below .

1) Can we create a customer or Vendor in MDG without creating the Business partner.Similar to want we do in ECC(like tcode XD01,,).

2) Can we integrate a custom Fiori UI with MDG solution.

Thanks,

Nagendra.

Hello Nagendra

As such every system will have its own drawback. You can rephrase your words and ask the same question - What is the difference in SAP ECC Vs, MDG for Customer and supplier?

On to your queries -

1) Can we create a customer or Vendor in MDG without creating the Business partner.Similar to want we do in ECC(like tcode XD01,,) - Yes...Read the MDG documentation

2) Can we integrate a custom Fiori UI with MDG solution. - Yes.

Differences -

1. MDG data model and ECC table fields - you may find difference in the MDG fields and ECC. Based on the requirement you can extend MDG data model and add those fields.

2. Customer hierarchy - Currently not available in MDG. You have to assign the customer in ECC.

Hope it clarify your doubts. Read the SAP documentation for more details.

Hi Kiran,

Regarding the question of creating vendor without BP, is it possible for co-deployment system also. For hub system we can manage it using the ALE. It would be great if you could share the link of documentation relating to this query.

Thanks,

Hi Nagendra

It is not possible to create vendor/customer without BP as BP is base layer used in MDG and Vendor/Customer are ECC specific and can be achived with  CVI customization.

In Co deployement as explained earlier no ALE required and replication is done automatically via access class, But in case of hub system you can replicate only vendor/customer to target ECC system using releveant message mesaage and thus you can skip BP replication in trget ECC

Hi Nagendra

1) Can we create a customer or Vendor in MDG without creating the Business partner.Similar to want we do in ECC(like tcode XD01,,).

Answer depends upon MDG deployement option either it is standalone or co deployment.

Though in both the cases BP are always created in MDG staging area if it is standalone then while replicating you can replicate only Vendor/Customer to target system and it replication of BP is option.

But in case of co deployement option BP along with Vendor/Customer are automatically replicated.

There are two UI's delivered by SAP Vender/Customer Like UI and Supplier UI.

So if it want to see screen like  XD01/XK01 then go with Vender/Customer Like UI and if want to see screen like N\BP transaction coe then go with Supplier UI.

2) Can we integrate a custom Fiori UI with MDG solution. - Yes.

Hi Sanjay,

In customer like UI of MDG is it possible to create customer with reference customer ( like XD01 transaction initial screen)?
