Why is Customizing synchronization required for SAP MDG, and how should I plan it?
SAP MDG master-data distribution depends on aligned, relevant Customizing in the participating systems. The guide recommends defining a project-specific minimal but complete object list, deciding where each object is maintained, and establishing both initial and ongoing synchronization with controlled transport timing.
SAP MDG master-data distribution depends on aligned, relevant Customizing in the participating systems. The guide recommends defining a project-specific minimal but complete object list, deciding where each object is maintained, and establishing both initial and ongoing synchronization with controlled transport timing.
SAP MDG governs master-data creation, change, search, and deletion through workflow and distributes governed master data to connected operational systems. For that distribution to work consistently, the relevant master-data-related Customizing must be aligned between the participating systems. The guide recommends defining a project-specific synchronization process before productive master-data distribution, with a minimal but complete object list, release checks, and controlled transport sequencing.
Process flow
- Identify which Customizing is relevant to the governed master-data processes.
- Decide where each Customizing object is maintained.
- Determine which systems are sources and which are receivers.
- Define the initial synchronization process.
- Define the ongoing synchronization process.
- Select supporting technology/tools.
- Build the project-specific Customizing object list.
- Define governance, transport sequencing, testing, and ownership for future changes.
