Image Master Data
You can use the image master data in promotion planning.
Demand Data Foundation (DDF) uses an inbound interface (function module /DMF/MDIF_IMAGE_DATA_INBOUND
) to receive the image master data through a Remote Function Call (RFC). For more information about this inbound interface, see the function module documentation (transaction SE37
).
Integration
DDF receives the image master data from an external application. For more information, see Integration Information.
