SAP MDG · COMMUNITY
Can SAP MDG and IS-OIL run in the same system, and what is the implementation architecture?
Yes. The guide’s approach is to run SAP MDG and IS-OIL in one system by activating both sets of business functions, extending the standard MDG data models and structures with IS-OIL fields, adapting UI/mappings/replication, and then validating Material, Supplier, Customer, and downstream Oil & Gas processes end to end.

Use the standard MDG extensibility framework to govern IS-OIL master data in one system: activate the required MDG and Oil & Gas business functions, extend the relevant MDG data models and API/structure layers, expose the fields in MDG UIs, and configure IS-OIL-specific replication before validating Material, Supplier, Customer, procurement, and sales scenarios.
Process flow
- Confirm the target SAP release and applicability.
- Review SAP Note 1688458 for ECC or 2392135 for S/4HANA.
- Activate the required IS-OIL and MDG business functions in the same system.
- Extend the MDG data model for the governed object area.
- Extend the corresponding MDG and API structures.
- Regenerate the data model-specific structures.
- Extend and verify the UI and change structures.
- Extend mappings between staging and active areas. Configure business activities and UI actions. Configure replication using IS-OIL-specific IDoc types. Validate Material, Supplier, Customer, procurement, and sales scenarios end to end.
