It’s time again to give you an update on the latest innovations in SAP Master Data Governance on SAP S/4HANA. As in my blog posts on previous releases I’d like to structure the information about innovations according to the MDG key capabilities central governance, consolidation, mass processing and data quality management. 

MDG Innovations with SAP S/4HANA 2022

Central Governance

In Central Governance, we have made various enhancements that were requested in the SAP Customer Connection program. Another innovation in the framework is, for example, that the automated field population for material, business partner (incl. customer/supplier) data through derivation scenarios is now possible across the MDG key capabilities, including central governance.

Innovations driven by SAP Customer Connection Program 2021/2022:

  • Alignment of the business partner data model with SOAP service
  • Improvements for the business partner UIs
  • Time dependency for specific business partner data
  • Ability to perform checks for duplicates on demand
  • Display the number of search result records
  • Replication of cost element hierarchy data into global hierarchies
  • Improved copy function for G/L Accounts company code data
  • Export upload messages as Office Open XML file (.xlsx)
  • File upload and download of Office Open XML (.xlsx)
  • Ability to create follow-up change requests through a standard API
  • Value help for ‘Business System’ in remote client key search
  • Change Request Tracker improved for parallel workflow steps

Consolidation and Mass Processing

In Consolidation, we have further increased the effectiveness of the handling of Business Partner data and Product data. Among other things, we have enabled the scheduling of consolidation runs for active records to detect potential duplicates on a regular basis. The full list of innovations in Consolidation and Mass Processing includes:

  • Export records with messages in validation step in spreadsheet format including all related messages (additional tab) for offline correction and subsequent re-import of data
  • Mass deletion of business partner relationships
  • Easier detection of duplicates on regular basis​ by scheduling consolidation runs for active records
  • Improved performance for validation and activation steps through removal of unchanged data for mass processing (product)

Data Quality Management

In Data Quality Management, we have, for example, included export and import of derivations scenarios and the simulation of validation rules. The full list of innovations in Data Quality Management includes:

  • Export/import derivation scenarios for re-use of derivations in other systems 
  • Simulate validation to ensure correctness prior to implementation
  • Enable custom fields of product and business partner (incl. customer/supplier) data for quality management (see also blog post by Kefeng Wang)
