SAP Master Data Governance helps organizations govern master data from its creation in a business application,through step by step enrichment by different roles in the organization, to its replication to target applications to ensure data quality and regulatory compliance across the enterprise. SAP master data governance can be used for multiple master data domains like customer, material, supplier, articles , finance etc.
Like other flavors of MDG, MDGA consulting solution also comes with a predefined data model. Customers would be able to extend the data model fields during the project phase based on their additional requirements. If you have already extended other MDG standard data models (like MDG-M), then the procedure to extend MDG-A would be essentially the same.
Introduction
In this blog we will walk you through the steps required to enhance the MDGA Solution with an additional field in the MARA entity type.
Purpose
