Hi Shankar,

MDM have created a Standard <u>BUSINESS CONTENT</u> which u can find inside the folder where u have installed the software. For eg.

D:\MDM\

Now inside the business content folder u will find zipped files for different Masters such as MATERIAL,VENDOR,CUSTOMER etc.

<b>Step 1:</b>

Now unzip the MATERIAL zip file,which is ur requirement in to a target location (local Hard disk).

<b>Step 2:</b>

Upon Unzip u will get 3 more zipped files namely Import maps,Export maps,XSD and a Material.a2a file.Unzip the Maps to a target location .

<b>Step 3:</b>

Place the Material.a2a file in the archives folder of the server which u want to mount and work upon.Here it is

D:\MDM\Server\archives\

<b>Step4:</b>

Upon placing the >a2a file which is the archived format of the standard business repository.Jst Mount the particular server and Right click on the server icon.Choose the option <u>Unarchive Repository</u> and and select the particular file Material.a2a from the drop down.

The repository will be available for working.

Award me with points if this blog proved to be a help.

Thanks & Regards

Hi shankar ,

The repository provided by the standard Business Content have been designed keeping R/3 in mind.If u want to create ur own customised repository Just right click on the repository and select Duplicate repository .That will create a duplicate of it and u can make ur own customisation on that.

Thanks & Regards

Steps to build Material Master Repository Model.

~Shankar

[Mark63]

MDM delivery scope comprises business content. For example, predefined repositories that can be used as templates (such as Material master repository). In addition, the MDM documentation center on SAP Service Marketplace holds a document containing R/3 - MDM field mapping information (Excel sheet). However, the most important thing for you when building a material master repository is to check which fields need to be maintained centrally (using MDM) and which have only local relevance in your organization.
