The following implementation methodologies are supported for use with SAP. For the complete list of MDM implementation methodologies, refer to the MDM Solution Overview topic here.
-
Consolidation - BP records are authored in upstream SAP systems and then published to STEP, where they are matched and merged into golden records with preservation of source record identifiers. After the consolidation, the golden records may be enriched with additional information and published to downstream systems.
-
Centralized Onboarding - BP records are created and maintained in STEP through workflows. As records are approved, new records and updates to existing records are published to multiple downstream SAP systems. As BP records are created and updated, duplicates may be identified and merged automatically or through clerical review. As BP records merge, the deactivation of the non-survivor is communicated the downstream SAP systems and references to the deactivated records from other master data records are moved to the surviving record, which is also communicated to the downstream systems.
