Q Sankara Bhatta July 10, 2020 at 6:29 pm Hi Ashish, Are you sure about MDNI?. Few days back we raised an SR to Ariba team about using MDNI with multi backend scenario. Even though SAP help says that MDNI supports import of master data with multple backends, SAP ariba team confirmed in SR that this is not true as of today and they need to adjust the document. Also MDNI for master data does not support FPC sites. Q Ashish shah December 9, 2020 at 7:00 am Hi Sankara, You are correct about FPC site. However i have configured MDNI already for procurement master data exchange with child realm with 2 SAP S4 HANA system. | am surprised to know in SR Ariba said MDNI doesnt support multiple backend systems.
