Package com.sap.mdm.matchingsets.commands Description

Provides commands for MDM matching set functionality.

Overview

The matching sets facility of MDM allows you to define category-level relationships. A matching set is a pair of related categories, where some or all of the products in each category are related to one another. You can define a matching set as either bidirectional (for a sibling-type relationship) or unidirectional (for a parent/child-type relationship).

In addition, layered on top of the category-level efficiency, matching sets allow you to restrict the matching products within each category to precise subsets based on physical characteristics and structural compatibility of the products.

For example, you can define the Nuts and Screws categories as a matching set, and then further require that matching nuts and screws have the same Thread Size and Material, as shown below in bold.

Screws:
SKU   Name  Thread Material
S-101 Screw 4-40   Brass
S-102 Screw 4-40   Copper
S-103 Screw 6-32   Brass
S-104 Screw 6-32   Copper
S-105 Screw 8-32   Brass <--
S-106 Screw 8-32   Copper
Nuts:
SKU   Name Thread Material
N-341 Nut  4-40   Brass
N-342 Nut  4-40   Copper
N-343 Nut  6-32   Brass
