Legacy Data, MDM and ECC

[#1]

Hi,

We are using SAP supplied repository for consolidating Material records. This repository is just a small set of all Material fields available in ECC. We are planning to bring in data from legacy system, de-dup it in MDM and then send it to the target ECC system. However, we am not sure that after sending this data in ECC, how can we then complete this data in ECC with the rest of the values from the legacy system. We don't want to manually extend these records in ECC as this would mean a lot of work on users side. What other options are available that we can use to complete this data programmatically (ABAP, ALE, BDC???). What does SAP recommends?

Thanks,

T

Hi TechX,

It all depends on the needs and expectations of the organization from each system.

You have to check if the missing data in ECC, which exists in the legacy system, is needed in ECC. If it is not needed then why adding it to ECC? MDM can hold the complete set of data coming from different sources, and still both sources have unidentical data.
