Profit Centre Replication Requesting Out
An interface to create and transmit profit center master data replication bulk requests.
Business Context and Use
Master Data Governance for Financials (MDGF) provides a central place to maintain the master data used in financial processes and provides consistent data throughout the enterprise. It is designed to eliminate manual distribution of financial master data and facilitates regulatory compliance by enabling time-dependent versioning of master data and system integrated change and approval processes.
MDGF uses asynchronous SOA services for the distribution of approved master data changes. For data replication from MDGF, a corresponding replication request service is called to update master data.
In the remote systems, another confirmation service is then used to send a processing status back to MDGF.
The
Profit Centre Replication Requesting Out
service interface contains an operation that distributes profit center master data in bulk from MDGF into Financial Accounting systems.
Prerequisites
SOAMANAGER configuration has been completed and is working.
Outbound implementation is available.
SMT Mappings are available and/or relevant Business Add-In (BAdI)-methods are implemented.
Customizing for the data replication framework (DRF) is maintained and is complete:
DRF application is defined in DRFIMG.
Proper outbound implementation is assigned to DRF application.
SMT mappings for relevant entity types are assigned to DRF application.
Edition with company data for has been released in FIN-MDM for distribution.
Since FIN-MDM services do not replicate any customizing data, all customizing steps must be done in the back-end systems.

Notes on SAP Implementation
Enhancements
The USMD_SE_PC_RPLCTN Business Add-In (BAdI) is available for this outbound service interface. The relevant interface method is called IF_EX_USMD_PC_RPLCTN~OUTBOUND_PROCESSING.
