You use the report Transfer Supplier Master Data (Delayed Update) (/SRMSMC/UPDATE_FROM_CHGINFO) to distribute changes to supplier master data to the connected back-end systems in delayed update mode instead of distributing the changes immediately. This transfer mode ensures greater data consistency and prevents you from losing data when a transfer fails.

In an integrated system landscape with SAP Supplier Lifecycle Management connected to supplier master data systems such as a Master Data Governance (MDG) or a leading SAP ERP system, the delayed update mode is the default transfer mode. The complete supplier master data is sent, not only the changed data. To reduce the amount of sent data, the transfer is not started when you save changes. Instead, the changes are saved in the following tables:

The changes are transferred only when the report is run, which you can schedule to run daily in batch mode.

If the buy side in SAP Supplier Lifecycle Management is not connected to a supplier master data system, you can activate the delayed update mode in Customizing for SAP Supplier Lifecycle Management under  Buy Side Basic Settings for SAP Supplier Lifecycle Management Supplier Integration Activate Delayed Update of Supplier Master Data .
