Data Provider
The data provider is responsible for ensuring the data is correct and is assigned to an authorization group in Customizing for Product Safety in the IMG activity Specify Authorization Groups. The data provider is generally the organizational unit that supplies the data for an import into the SAP System. If there is no data provider for a data record of a specification in an import file, the data provider that was specified for the corresponding authorization group in Customizing is used as the default value.
If a data record of a specification is changed, the SAP System automatically assigns the data provider, that corresponds with the authorization group of the changed specification, to the data record. If you want to retain the original data owner, you must set the Retain data origin/provider indicator in the hit list under Utilities
