Define Key Mapping for Material Numbers
If you are working with multiple connected systems and did not consolidate the material keys during the initial load phase, key mapping may be required.
You can define the system-specific mappings for the key value of the supplier in Customizing for Master Data Governance
under . Material-specific key and value mapping Customizing activities can be found in Customizing for Master Data Governance
under
The mapping definitions of the key mappings are conducted by any authorized user using the business transaction from the portal or the corresponding back-end transaction.
Customizing for Key Mapping
If you are working with multiple connected systems you may want to define or configure the key mapping between the MDG Hub and the client systems. Use the following steps to determine if the client system and hub system need to be key mapped or harmonized:
Enter transaction DRFIMG
and navigate to .
Select a business system and choose Define Bus. Systems. BOs
.
Select BO Type 194
.
Choose Define Bus. Systems. BOs, Communication Channel
.
In the Key Harm
column, check if the channel uses harmonized IDs or key mapping. If nothing is selected you may choose to set up key mapping if required.
Note
Key and value mapping must be performed once for each connected system where data is being replicated from MDG Hub system.
