Features

The Master Data Governance for Supplier 7.0 Feature Pack business function offers the following feature:

Change of ERP vendor account group

The account group of an ERP vendor assigned to an MDG business partner can now be changed within the MDG-S single object maintenance. The change of an account group on an operational ERP system can be loaded to MDG using the Import Master Data and replicated to other systems using ALE or SOA.

To change the account group a new change request type can be used, if you want only selected users to be allowed to do the change. The account group can also be changed within the normal process of changing supplier data. In this case all or most of the users are allowed to do the change.

Changing the account group enables the user to re-categorize the ERP vendor if required.

IBAN without BIC

MDG-S fulfills the legal requirement of the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) to only maintain the International Bank Account Number (IBAN) for SEPA countries. The maintenance and generation of bank details (Business Identifier Code (BIC)) is not required anymore. You can specify the countries only using the IBAN. For these countries you only have to enter the IBAN for a customer bank account. The system automatically provides the bank details with default values not being used by the business processes.

New role specific user interfaces

MDG-S offers new role specific user interfaces to be used by financial and purchasing specialists:

  • Specialized UI for company code data: A financials user directly navigates from his or her inbox to the data of the respective company code.

  • Specialized UI for purchasing org. data only: A purchasing user directly navigates from his or her Inbox to the data of the respective purchasing organization.

Link between ERP vendor and ERP customer

The general data of an ERP vendor contains a link to the corresponding ERP customer. With the business function Master Data Governance for Supplier 7.0 Feature Pack this field ( LFA1-KUNNR) is part of the MDG-S data model. The maintenance dialog for ERP vendors in MDG-S enables you to link to the corresponding ERP customer.

The similar feature for MDG-C is part of the business function Master Data Governance for Customer 7.0 Feature Pack.
