Deployment Recommendations
for SAP Products

Allow flexibility by offering different deployment options (not one-size-fits-all)


Provide guidance by rating different options
Ease decisions by listing pros & cons
Simplify consumption of information by using a common methodology
Increase reliability by considering SAP product strategy, achieved landscape qualities and
cross-product alignment

Possible Exception

Only useful for specific use cases


Supported by SAP, but limitations
might occur

Option II

Reasonable Alternative

Useful choice for certain use


cases or customer scenarios
Supported and confirmed by
SAPs strategy

Goal

Consider

General Recommendation

Option
III

Option I

Best choice for majority of typical


landscape use cases
Recommended by SAPs strategy
Accepted by a wide base of
customers

Outlining main important aspects


Optimal trade-off between flexibility and simplicity
Applied to main building blocks of SAP products
Alternative deployment options typically have different pros & cons
Customer individual assessment is not compensated

SAP Master Data Governance


Centrally Govern Master Data on top of SAP Business Suite
SAP MDG is a natural extension of the business processes running in
SAP Business Suite, providing out-of-the-box, domain-specific master data
governance to centrally create, change and distribute master data.
Governance

Enables governance, compliance and transparency through


integrated staging, approval and central audit trail

Consistent Data

Delivers consistent definition, authorization and replication of


key master data entities for SAP. Eliminates error prone manual
maintenance processes for master data in multiple systems

Integration

Native integration with SAP Business Suite and SAP ERP, as


well as supplier qualification (via SAP SLC), and NW MDM

Re-use

Re-use of SAP data model, UI and existing business logic and


configuration for creation and validation of master data

Flexibility

Allows to extend the existing models or define new objects and


related processes in order to govern own master data domains

Data Quality

Leverages SAP Data Services for data quality and enrichment


as well as SAP Information Steward for data remediation

Overview Landscape Scenarios


Landscape Scenario I:
Distributed System Landscape with only local SAP ERP systems
Customer landscape contains different local SAP ERP or NON-SAP application systems
No central SAP ERP system in place
Governance processes for master data are going to be implemented

Landscape Scenario II:


Distributed System Landscape with existing central SAP ERP system
Customer landscape contains a single SAP ERP system only (simple system landscape)
Or customer landscape contains a dedicated central SAP ERP system serving central processes against
local SAP ERP systems, other SAP Business Suite systems or NON-SAP application systems
Governance processes for master data are going to be implemented

Deployment of SAP Master Data Governance


Master data hub based on any DB with optional use of SAP HANA
Reasonable Alternative

Deploy SAP MDG 7.0 as separate master data hub on any DB (based on SAP ERP EhP6 or EhP7)
No operational usage of embedded SAP ERP
Connected to SAP HANA with SAP SLT for search & matching
Benefits

Example

Independent speed of innovation for new MDG capabilities


Customers already using earlier version of SAP MDG based on SAP

No central but distributed governance of master data; might be


useful as a preliminary step for later change to a central MDG hub
Risk: no integration between domains
No global duplicate detection / duplicate prevention possible
SAP HANA usage for MDG depends on existing SAP HANA
deployment of individual SAP ERP systems

Deployment of SAP Master Data Governance


Co-deployed with one local SAP ERP system and centrally used
Possible Exception

Co-Deploy SAP MDG 7.0 with SAP ERP on any DB (based on SAP ERP EhP6 or EhP7) or

Additional Considerations
Recommendations for SAP Master Data Governance

Additional Considerations for MDG hub co-deployed with ERP


A co-deployment of MDG with an operational ERP system is not possible

In a client where time dependency is required for the Business Partner in ERP

If SRM One Server is also deployed

If customizing cannot be harmonized in relevant areas (e.g. material valuation)

A co-deployment of MDG with an operational ERP system is restricted

If co-deployed with certain industry solutions (refer to note 1690202) or add-ons

By the effort and feasibility to harmonize and enhance customizing / master data / authorizations / customer
extensions (especially if other systems will be connected to the MDG system) between the MDG applications
and the operational ERP system

2014 SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.

Public

24

Additional Considerations for MDG hub co-deployed with ERP


Additional benefits of the co-deployment of MDG with an operational ERP system

UI continuity: all local attributes can be maintained in the MDG web dynpros because all checks required for
the local attributes (may depend on transactional data) are available in the ERP system

Process continuity: no latency for data replication, no cross-system monitoring

No system integration between MDG hub and ERP required no costs for implementation and monitoring of
replication interfaces

No additional integration effort with respect to specific external services such as translation management

2014 SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.

Public

25

Additional Considerations for separate MDG hub


Additional benefits of separate MDG hub

Allows fresh start with cleansed data

Less alignment on system maintenance cycles

No impact of MDG on system load in operational ERP (and vice versa)

Higher flexibility / additional options when it comes to harmonization or mapping of customizing

The ERP system is kept free of non-ERP data (data that is required to serve non-ERP or non-SAP systems)

More flexibility for master data lifecycle management

Active area of MDG hub is additional staging (might for example be useful for introduction of new products)

Master data may be archived in operational systems and is kept in MDG hub

2014 SAP AG or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.

Public

26

Additional Considerations for separate MDG hub


Drawbacks of separate MDG hub

Additional hardware and maintenance costs

Initial load of master data, ongoing additional replication of master data to operational ERP

Initial load and synchronization of customizing

Meta data is sometimes maintained multiple times or at least at different places
