Types of Data

Typical Data Management Requirement

WHAT ARE THE THREE TYPES OF DATA IN A SAP SYSTEM? 

There are three types of data in a SAP system: 

 Transactional data
 

 Master data
 

 Historical data 
 Transactional data is anything current and outstanding that is necessary for business
process completion. Common examples include open purchase orders, accounting
documents, backorders, and open sales orders. 

Master data is also outstanding data, but it’s more static than transactional data. Common
examples include data on customers, vendors, assets, charts of accounts, material masters,
bills of materials, and info records. 

Historical data is not current but is still used for reference. Common examples include
closed sales orders, closed purchase orders, and summary general ledger information. 

DB Views
Using DB Views we can directly Connect SAP NetWeaver MDM with SAP BusinessObjects Data
Services (BODS). It generates a read-only database view of an MDM repository’s underlying database
schema by using join operations. There is no data replication hence it saves space and resources.

PI Can Integrate with MDM by 2 Adapters

         1.  File Adapter

         2.  MDM Adapter

Integration SAP NetWeaver MDM and SAP BusinessObjects Data Services

There are two possible scenarios for integrating SAP NetWeaver MDM and SAP BusinessObjects
DataServices:

One is the Inbound Scenario :Data Services is integrated with the MDM Import Manager and MDM
Import Server

The other is Outbound Scenario :Data Services is integrated with the MDM Syndicator and MDM
Syndicator Server

Overview BODS Data quality

SAP Business Objects Data Quality Management helps to analyze, cleanse, and match all type of data
customer, supplier, product, or material data, structured or unstructured – to ensure highly accurate and 
complete information anywhere in the enterprise.

That is ;Data quality refers to the set of transforms that work together to improve the quality of your data
by cleansing, enhancing, matching and consolidating data elements.

 Data quality is primarily accomplished in the software using four transforms:

• Address Cleanse. Parses, standardizes, corrects, and enhances address data.

• Data Cleanse. Parses, standardizes, corrects, and enhances customer and operational data.

• Geocoding. Uses geographic coordinates, addresses, and point-of-interest (POI) data to append

address, latitude and longitude, census, and other information to your records.

• Match. Identifies duplicate records at multiple levels within a single pass for individuals, households,or
corporations within multiple tables or databases and consolidates them into a single source
