Automate

Good afternoon team,

I have a question...Is it possible to mass update FI master data using Automate Studio(Transaction or Direct) with the MDG Flex Model(NOT Reuse model)? This would need to include creating the CR and edition no and activating the MDG staging tables. I have done quite a bit of research, amongst those finding solutions using  BAPI's and MDG T-codes that don't even exist in our system. I have not been able to come to a definitive conclusion that tells me that it can be done successfully and how that would be done. I may be missing something .I don't believe that I can use the Fiori option in Automate Studio because the currently used 'Fiori' apps are all Web Dynpro apps, not UI5 apps.

Hi Theresa,

This is a request we get on and off again.  Creating those change requests, especially in mass, can be cumbersome per our customers.

So far, I don't know of an OOTB way to interact with MDG, regardless of the model (I had to look those up :) ):

• As you have shared, the MDG Fiori apps are using the WebDynpro UI, which is one of the only interfaces we don't support
• MDG locks down the regular ERP tcodes/bapis/Fiori apps from being used so that everything goes through MDG
• I don't believe there are any OData APIs for S/4Hana that are available to create a change request. We can call OData APIs today from Evolve and have an early release for Studio that can be tested.  I searched here: https://api.sap.com/search?searchterm=mdg&tab=All&refinedBy=true
  • there are API calls for synchronization and I believe status checks (mostly for BP) 
  • there are also links to process flows
  • unless I missed it, there are no API calls to create change request
• I also searched for integrations with MDG and various systems here: https://api.sap.com/integrations/discoverintegrations?source=SAPMasterDataGovernance&target=SAPS4HANA  
  • This MDG to SAP ERP showed the most results: https://api.sap.com/package/SAPHybrisCloudforCustomerIntegrationwithSAPERP/integrationflow  I'm not sure if one of those options are what you want to accomplish. It very likely not the case.

I know of one case where a customer wrote a custom BAPI to accomplish something like this (I don't have the details), and we used Direct to call it. I don't know which model they used - whether storing the CR (change request) in standard or custom tables with versioning. 

If we do start to support this and/or SAP provides more integration options, I'll be the first to share it. 

Best Regards,

Sigrid

Thank you so much Sigrid for your response and the time that you took to search for a solution for me. I truly appreciate it. I will check out the integrations with MDG links that you shared to see if there is any possibility of a solution. I will let you know if I find anything. Also, if there is ever a solution that you think could work, and you need me to help with the testing, please let me know.

Thanks again
