Confirm Master Data Elements and Create a New Unit Type

Confirm existing master data and create a new unit type.

Prerequisites

The following task can be completed by an SAP Fieldglass client admin user.

Context

As noted earlier in this guide, all master data must be configured from SAP S/4HANA Cloud as part of the standard business process and integration workflows, to reflect and manage the following data elements routing from SAP S/4HANA Cloud, through SAP Cloud Integration, into SAP Fieldglass using SAP MDI.

  • Cost Center

  • WBS Element

  • Plant

  • Purchase Org

  • Legal Entity

  • GL Account

The buyer needs to confirm that all master data elements are configured. To do this, refer to the SAP S/4HANA Master Data Replication (Inbound) topic in the Replicating Master Data Using SAP Master Data Integration Service guide. Specifics on the configuration of master data using SAP Master Data Integration and middleware platforms are further defined for a customer’s reference.

In addition, you need to create a new Unit Type data element, since it's not part of the master data integration from SAP S/4HANA Cloud into SAP Fieldglass.

Procedure

  1. Sign into the buyer's Admin Configuration menu, and under Financial Data, choose Unit Type. The Unit Type page displays.
  2. Choose New. The Add New Unit Type page displays.
  3. Create all UOMs that are configured in the Service POs from SAP S/4HANA Cloud and SAP Business Network.

    • Set the Code and Name field values to EA for inbound standard POs,

    • Set the Code and Name field values to N/A for limit orders, as well as any additional unit types required based on the unit types configured in SAP S/4HANA Cloud.

  4. Choose Add for each entry.
