SAP Master Data Governance Capabilities:
Establish best quality master data to optimize business solutions
Deliver Out-of-the box
Full Integration to SAP systems as a client Offer integration services for non-SAP client systems.
Workflow flexibility closely integrated to a framework for defining business rules.
Deliver a data model proven by several applications & industries. Reuse of existing processing logic. Out-of-the-box data replication mechanisms, using stable mechanisms.
Provide a directory of Business Partners (organizations, persons, groups of persons). This directory contains data primarily used for identification (e.g. name, address, ID numbers, etc.). The MDG objects like Customer and Supplier will be based on this directory and offer seamless integration with customer-specific data and supplier- specific data).
Possibility to extend the process by adding business logic and thereby bringing in data quality. Has roles and responsibilities and also task authority (e.g. create, change, approve). Data in process stored in a separate repository, will be transferred to operational database after final approval.
Flexible enough to respect the distributed responsibilities existing in a company across various business units.
Can be adapted and tailored based on customer needs.
Linear or distributed and workflow based.
Prevent creation of duplicates for increased effectiveness and efficiency.
Custom validations can be modelled and programmed (For example, code lists, simple checks, or rules using BRFplus).
Integration of rules from MDG, Data Quality Management.
Address Enrichment: Automatically adding Tax Jurisdiction Code reusing interfaces/providers
Direct, pooled or manual replication to SAP and non-SAP systems.
Flexibility to replicate selected data only to a specific client system by defining filters (controlled by DRF)
Support of different object IDs or customizing keys between hub and client systems (via. mapping in MDG or PI).
Monitoring and error handling DRF controlling replication mechanisms like:
– > ALE for SAP S/HANA OP, SAP ERP 6.0, R/3 and non-SAP systems.
– > SOA service for SAP and non-SAP systems.
– > RFC and File for SAP and non-SAP systems.
Reuse existing data structures and functionality of SAP S/4HANA.
Be able to enhance MDG functionality based on predefined content or customer-specific extensions.
Provide easy-to-use extensibility capabilities for enhancing nodes and fields.
Data models.
User interfaces.
Processes. Data replication.
Governing the master data of various legacy system centrally in MDG and replicating back to the respective legacy systems.
The consolidation functionalities of merging and best record creation can be used for existing data preparation activities for the central governance scenario. This is one time activity where an enterprise decides to govern the master data centrally & then replicate the data to multiple systems. As part of initial load, data is extracted, profiled/cleansed, and then consolidated through the consolidation process.
When new system are introduced into the landscape, consolidation can used to harmonize and deduplicate the new master data with existing data.
Master data is created in separate systems/operational systems, as needed. The data is then consolidated into a central system by merging and mapping the data to a common data standard, so it can be used for analytical purpose.
SAP Master Data Governance is fully integrated with SAP S/4HANA (SAP Master Data Governance on SAP S/4HANA). It can also be installed as an add-on component to SAP ERP 6.0.
There are two versions:
It leverages the inherent functionalities of the SAP ERP/ABAP application layer, including workflows,
Business Rules Framework plus (BRFplus), replication, value mapping, key mapping, UI frameworks
such as Floorplan Manager. SAP HANA capabilities such as SAP HANA smart data quality.
Some of the functionalities of SAP MDG are exist only as part of SAP MDG on S4 HANA:
Product master data quality control and remediation. Consolidation functionality involving multiple customer and vendor assignments of business partners. Central governance functionality to use newly added customers and vendors as references for partner functions within the same change request. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) replication (inbound and outbound) of FI-CA data. UI enhancements for material search
