Background documentationConfigure Process Model

 

In the standard delivery, process models for the following business object types are preconfigured:

  • Business Partner 147

    • The data model includes tables for business partner, customer, and supplier.

    • The validation uses ERP checks.

    • Records can be activated with SAP MDG, central governance using change requests and cleansing cases or can be activated directly.

    • The replication uses the Data Replication Framework (DRF).

  • Business Partner: Non-SAP-BS MDC_147

    • The data model includes tables for business partner, customer, and supplier.

    • SAP does not deliver a validation step, therefore no ERP checks are used.

  • Material 194

    • The data model includes tables for material.

    • The validation uses ERP checks.

    • Records can be activated with SAP MDG, central governance using change requests or can be activated directly.

    • The replication uses the Data Replication Framework (DRF).

Further configuration is required if you extend fields or nodes of the data model, or if you use your own business object type.
