Offer Master Data
The offer master data is used to support planning, logistics, modeling, forecasting, and reporting. For example, you can use the offer master data to plan promotions or to schedule demand modeling and forecasting processes.
Demand Data Foundation (DDF) uses an inbound interface (function module/DMF/OPIF_OFFER_INBOUND
) to receive the offer master data through a Remote Function Call (RFC). For more information about this inbound interface, see the function module documentation (transaction SE37
).
Integration
DDF can receive the offer master data from an SAP ERP application (transaction DRFOUT
) or a non-SAP application. For more information, see Integration Information.
