Master Data Replication from SAP ERP to Demand Data Foundation

If you use an SAP ERP system as the leading master data system, you can use the data replication framework (DRF) to replicate data from SAP ERP to the Demand Data Foundation module in SAP Customer Activity Repository.

Integration

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

Mapping Between SAP ERP Outbound Interfaces and DDF Inbound Interfaces

Note Note

You can replicate article hierarchies with status Active, Disabled, and Planned (time-dependent).

End of the note.

DDF can receive the following master data:

Consumption
Inventory
Location
Location hierarchy
Moving average price
Offer
Product
Product hierarchy
Product location combination
Source of supply
Vendor
