Hello Experts,
I have couple of questions on Mass Create/Upload for Material.
1. How to Upload classification data with the Basic Data of Material which has been already created/uploaded in the system?
2. Is it possible to do Duplicate Check during the Mass Upload in both of the cases while Basic Data Upload & Classification Data Upload?
Note: Make sure I am asking Duplicate Check during Mass Upload, not once the Data will be create/upload in the system.
Please help me to get the resolution.
Hello,
We have a scenario where in our ECC system, we have multiple Suppliers created for the same supplier for some specific reasons. We are installing MDG and we need to do an upload of Suppliers into the MDG system. We plan to use BP concept to maintain the general data, address data etc and link all the ERP Vendors to this BP. Since MDG ECC does not support the multiple assignment of Suppliers to one BP, we cannot upload this setup using standard methods. Can you please propose a way to upload the data for BP, Vendors and multiple assignments into MDG. I guess creating BPs and Vendors would be straight forward using standard IDOC import, but how do i load the multiple assignments i.e the link table between BP and Vendors? Is there a standard way?
Thanks,
Kiran
We have the following scenario:
We created a Z-Entity for a material. Using the standard insert/delete options for this entity works fine and creates the new entities for this material in the data model and shows them in a table in the UIBB.
Then we enhanced the UIBB with two extra buttons. Depending on which button is pressed, an entity should be created/copied from another material. This implementation is done in the cross-entity derivation BADi.
We enhanced method /PLMU/IF_FRW_G_ACTIONS~PROCESS_ACTION_EVENTin order to recognize which button is pressed.
Then we implemented the cross-entity derivation BADi, which gets triggered and changes the data model and creates the entry we need in the model. This works fine and the new entity is available in the model data.
Our problem with this approach is, that the UI isn't refreshed when one of these buttons is pressed and the new entry does not appear in the entity's table.
If we change a material's standard field (e.g. material type) afterwards, another roundtrip is triggered and the UI is refreshed including the update of our entity table.
We have already tried to raise a roundtrip event when the button is pressed and also have tried to change a field manually using the convenience API with no luck so far.
Does somebody know how we can trigger a complete roundtrip or something that also updates the UI component?
Kind regards,
Sebastian

Does anyone know if SAP Screen Personas is compatible with MDG? I know you can run Personas within NWBC. However, I am wondering if Personas is compatible with MDG or applications built using floorplan manager.
I am very familiar with MDG functionality and functional configuration (UI Configuration Manager and BRF+ Validation and Derivation tools). However, it gets confusing when you start talking about the various flavors of NWBC and what technologies actually work together. I have also played quite a bit with Personas. And now I am being asked by our business if they are compatible with each other.
I believe the use case coming from our business is the need to move or combine fields between various UIBBs to simplify the interface. It does not make sense to me that you would use Personas to hide or show fields because that can already be accomplished with MDG UI configuration (without introducing another technology such as Personas). But despite our best effort to hide certain fields for MDG Requestors, perform validations, and default values, etc., our MDG users (material requestors) still find the UI cumbersome. Especially when one or more required fields are missing a value and they have to hunt back through so many UIBBs to find the particular field in error.
Despite whether or not it really makes sense to introduce Personas into the MDG environment, just curious if it is even possible.
Appreciate any feedback folks have. Thanks.

Hi All,
We are trying to maintain Customer contact persons using BP relationship entity in MDG 7.0 system. As per my understanding to create a Customer contact person using CVI settings, we need to create a BP of type "Person" in BP Relationship entity. This contact BP is created in BP Group which is marked as "Internal Standard Grouping".
Once the Customer BP is activated, it creates the contact in KNVK table along with the Customer. The Customer Contact Id is generated using some internal number range and this number is different from BP ID created in relationship entity. Where can I find the Customer Contact Internal number range and can I have a control over numbering?
Even when I create a contact manually using VAP1 tcode, Id is generated using some internal number range and I am not able to locate it.
Basically the business requirement is that the Customer Contact Id and its corresponding BP Id should be same. We have complete control over number ranges of BP Groups and Customer account groups. Even we can have same ids for BP and Customer. Can we do something similar for having same Ids for Customer Contact and its BP?

Hi Experts,
I am using MDG for Supplier, my question is how can I enable Plant and Sub-Range columns on Partner Function section on UI.
Please check screenshot below. Here, for the purchase organization I have also added Additional Purchase Organization data for Plant. But I am unable to assign Plant on a Partner Function because columns are disabled.
Thanks,

Hello MDG Experts,
I am new Master Data Governance concept and we are implementing Master Data governance for Finance. As part of our requirement, we have to add a custom field to data model and make it part of the data replication as well. I was able to add the custom field to the data model by refering the SAP provided documents.
could any one let me know how can I make this custom field in the replication process as well.

Hello, Experts
I know that MDG has functionality to search materials by classification characteristics.
I set all required settings according to guidance section “Set Up Search” at
My Enterprise Search (embedded) works fine, I found materials by attributes and via free form search.
The report ESH_TEST_SEARCH also returns valid results.
But on the Material Search page I don’ see the Classification criteria pane.
NOTICE: During material creation I see classification section and I am able to seek classes, characteristics and assign them to a material record.
I have rummaged all SCN and help.sap.com but have not found any guide how to set up this search criteria and make them visible (only how to make them invisible 
)
QUESTION: Is classification criteria pane visible from the “box” or I must do some secret customization to display it?
Possibly it requires some additional settings at TREX side?
I discovered in SAP democloud system that there is a MDG_CLF_MATERIAL model (near MDG_MATERIAL) in standard software component MDG_APPL. I guess this is the standard search template like MDG_MATERIAL.
Unfortunately I haven’t got the MDG_CLF_MATERIAL model in my system though we run last service pack MDG 7.0 SP3 (MDG_FND 748 sp-level 03, MDG_APPL 618 sp-level 03)
Could you help me with ideas how to solve this problem?
Best regards

Hi Experts,
We are using Workflow template WS54300005 to create Vendor --initially issue is at second level of rejection - it was not going back to requestor or first level of approver, loop is iterating until it gets approved.
Now it is behaving in different manner, Am not getting either "Approve" or "reject" option for submission as well.
Can any one guide me, I have verified all steps in workflow but no use. it will be helpful if someone share the properties of steps.
Many Thanks,
Swathi
Hi Experts,
I am new to BRF+ Engine to define the validations and derivations. I have a requirement to do certain validatins for an entity type. I could create a CHECK function for this entity type with the naming convention as CHECK_ENTITYTYPE. I could see in the BRF+ CHECK function, there is a provision to include only RULESETS. I have a requirement to do validations against certain data base tables for the same entity types. I created data base look up tables for this.
Please guide how to include data base look ups and the formulas for the entity type in the CHECK function of that entity type.
Thanks,

Hi,
We are using MDG7.0 SP02 co-deployed on ECC.
While doing single material creation in NWBC, when we click on “Expand All” button to see all the tabs information and when we click especially on “Descriptions” tab, then we get a runtime error “ASSERTION VIOLATED”.
But when we expand other tabs like Plant Data,Valuation data in NWBC, we don’t get any error while doing Material Creation . Also, when we submit the CR without providing the Description of the Material, we are not able to open the CR from approver’s inbox to approve it and we get the same mentioned error. PFB the screenshot of the runtime error:
I have checked the mentioned method and everything looks fine.Also, to resolve this , there is no OSS note by SAP too.
Has anyone come across this scenario. If yes, then please share that how did you resolve this dump in the system.
Please find the dump file attached in the thread for further information.

Hi Gurus
We are implementing an MDG hub 7.02 for BPs.
We have the common requirement by Business regarding lean amendment : some fields in CR should trigger no WF when amended (i.e phone number).
What is the simplest strategy with BRF+ to have no approval when specific fields are changed?
Many thanks in advance
I have a requirement where i need to enhance MDG BP data model with Custom Entity & display the attributes on the UI. And all the data of custom attributes should flow from staging tables to Custom R/3 tables upon approval.
Type of the Custom entity is "Changeable by change request".
I am following the document “SAP How-To Guide: Extend the MDG Business Partner – Node Extension (Reuse Option)” available here Configuration and Enhancement of SAP Master Data Governance
I am stuck in the handler class which i have created.
1st Issue : is that this class is not getting triggered from the UI. So the values which we are providing in the fields are getting refreshed on the UI itself.
2nd Issue : how the data will flow from UI to staging tables & then to the custom table.
Please provide some solution if anyone of you had faced this type of scenario.
Regards,
Rohit
Hi,
I have copied a standard template (Other Workflows) which triggers a CR from NWBC, can we provide a custom status and step types in Other workflows?
If yes, where do I do the modifications.
As per my understanding these templates are hardcoded with Change request status and step types.
How to go custom?
Any pointers??
Thanks,

Hi,
I have this field BVTYP (Bank Partner Type) in table LFBK. I need to add this field to Change Request screen - when I click on Create Bank Details
I added this field to the Attributes of entity BP_BKDTL in the data model BP. Executed Generate Data-Model Specific Structures, so the field BVTYP was added automatically to MDG_BS_BP_BP_BKDTL in the customer include correctly.
When I am trying to Extend the mappings in MDG_BS_BP_MAP_2STA and BP_BP_BKDTL_2API, It is not allowing me to extend the mapping in structure BUS_EI_BUPA_BANKDETAIL saying that field does not exist in the same.
I tried to add this field BVTYP to this structure using append structure but this BUS_EI_BUPA_BANKDETAIL is not enhanceable.
Until I have my field BVTYP in structure BUS_EI_BUPA_BANKDETAIL in DATA and DATAX, I cannot do the SMT mapping.
Can someone please help me as to how can I add my field BVTYP to this structure inorder to get the field on the screen. Or is there some other way to add this field to the screen?
Any inputs would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Vanessa
