HI Nikhil,

the SAP delivered content contains everything you need:

- Business Partner Repository with Import and Syndication Maps

- XI Business Content

- Built-in transaction MDM_CLNT_EXTR to extract customer and vendor data from R/3

You need to set up your system landscape according to the description of the IT Scenario Configuration Guide which is available on <a href="http://service.sap.com/installmdm">Service Market Place</a>. Further information about MDM_CLNT_EXTR is available via SAP Note 1035601. SAP Note 1035773 provides details on the Business Partner Repository itself. If you plan to distribute Business Partners back from MDM to R/3, SAP Note 1052964 will provide more information on this topic.

Hi Nikhil,

As I understood you ar going to use standard business partner.

if this is the case, you have pre-configured repository and Maps.

from R/3 you need to send CREMDM or DEBMDM Idocs for Vendor and Customer resp. you can use t-code BD12 or MDM_CLNT_EXTR or MDMX . However you have to do IDoc settings in R/3.

If you are not sending data back to R/3, you can direclty create XML file. So you will be saved from extra work of XI.

Hope this helps,

Hi Nikhil,

All the data (Main table data or look up table data) are deleverd in the form of Idoc from R/3. XI facilitates in converting idoc to type XML or Text, which MDM accepts as input data.

We need to create import map using Import manager. In this import map we define the destination field for the incoming data (from R/3 via XI).

Some fields of source data may be defined as main table fields and some fields may destinated to look up table fields.

Steps to follow:

1. Create a XML/XML schema file by converting the idoc using XI.

2. Create import map for the repository using Import Manager with XML/XML Xchnema as source.

3. Map the source field to the corresponding destination field. (Refer Import Manager reference guide for more detail)

4. Store the map.

5. Use FTP or any other File transfer to put the output of XI (ie., XML File) to the inbound port of the MDM server (refer the blog)

Hope you got some idea from this.

Hi, It depends on your IT landscape.

The classic and the easiest way is to have SAP XI (with SLD Configuration) to send the Idocs from backend system (Backend Systems --> SAP XI -->SAP MDM and SAP MDM --> SAP XI --> Backend Systems).

But the SAP MDM Import Manager is an advanced tool because you can import data from excel, access, txt, xml ...
