Hi User NL,

You can select Material repository for your raw material consolidation. The best possible option will be to unarchieve every repository and then check which repository's fields and tables matters most to you as per your need(Raw materials).

You can also customize it as per your need by creating fields and tables.

Hope this helps you.

hi NL

use material repo for unarchiving.If your data is more retail specific use Article repo.SAP uses article/material/Product to differentiate same business object MATERIAL based upon industry type and usages.

For example consider Bus Partner in SAP.customers/vendor/ employee/locations are all business partner and can be maintained thru the same method. Only difference will be that some fields/screens will be changed/omitted/added.

Best way will be to see all the data fields defined in std repositories provided by SAP in bus content and match with the data model for your scenario and then decide which repo to unarchive.

thanks-

Hi User NL,

The standard repository you are asking about is nothing but the business content repository for Material,Customer,Vendor,Product and article.You will find all these std repositories content files with your MDM installable package these repositories are present as ZIP files you need to unzip it and place it in the archives folder of the MDM server then it is possible for you to unarchive it in MDM console.

Regarding consolidation:The data present in these repository can be consolidated for this you need to import unclean duplicate data from and R/3 sytem etc and then consolidtae it in MDM.

Hope it helped

Regards
