Background documentationDefine 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 Start of the navigation path General Settings Next navigation step Key Mapping End of the navigation path. Material-specific key and value mapping Customizing activities can be found in Customizing for Master Data Governance under Start of the navigation path Master Data Governance for Material End of the navigation path

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:

  1. Enter transaction DRFIMG and navigate to Start of the navigation path Define Technical Settings Next navigation step Define Technical Settings for Business Systems End of the navigation path.

  2. Select a business system and choose Define Bus. Systems. BOs.

  3. Select BO Type 194.

  4. Choose Define Bus. Systems. BOs, Communication Channel.

  5. 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 Note

Key and value mapping must be performed once for each connected system where data is being replicated from MDG Hub system.

End of the note.
