Reasigning material class 001 data for characteristic from class to class

2026-01-16T11:14:20.182000+01:00

Hello,

My customer uses many class assigned to material classification 001:

For that we have custom program that is printing the certificate data. Now we would like to exclude some of the characteristic from printing and we have created new class - NO_PRINT. The task is to reassign the characteristic from current ones to NO_PRINT, but without loosing the data in material masterdata. Is there a way to do it? We have over 500 materials that would be affected.

Thanks.

SAP MDG relationship partner id int numer

2026-01-17T12:23:05.937000+01:00

Hi all,

I’m working in SAP MDG and ran into a situation with the Relationship field. When I enter a Partner ID, instead of seeing the numeric value I expect, the field displays “Int. Num.”.

Search Term should be mandatory in CR

2026-01-17T12:38:29.708000+01:00

Hi all,

I’m trying to make the “Search Term” field mandatory in a Change Request (CR) in SAP MDG. I’ve ticked the Required checkbox in the field properties, but the field is still not behaving as mandatory when creating a CR. For reference, this is the SPRO path I followed to set the field as required:

Cross-Application Components->SAP Business Partner->Business Partner->Basic Settings->Field Groupings->Configure Field Attributes per BP Role

My goal here is that the Search Term1 field should be mandatory when the role is FLVN01.

SAP MDG – Partner ID field shows “Int Number” instead of selected ID

2026-01-17T13:21:55.810000+01:00

Hello experts,

I am working as an SAP MDG technical consultant and I am facing a strange behavior in an MDG UI (FPM).

In a relationship assignment screen, I have a Partner ID field with a search help.
From the search help, I select a valid partner (numeric BP ID). However, after selection, the Partner ID field is filled with the text “Int. Numer” instead of the actual partner number.

Web service deletion in sproxy

2026-01-27T09:10:52.619000+01:00

From MDG, we were updating the standard SOAP service - BusinessPartnerSUITEBulkReplicateRequest_In with custom attribute. But accidentally the inbound service got deleted and it impacted the SOAP BP outbound service as well.

As per SAP suggestion, we restored the deleted services from quality back to development successfully.

But now, we are still unable to execute any outbound or inbound BP service, as it is giving transformation /1SAI/SAEE105C7A25604C0F2D88F syntax error and SAP is unable to generate the payload.

this transformations are runtime generated but now in our dev system it is not available.

Steps taken :

Individually tried to activate all data dictionary objects, classes, proxy
Tried to copy transformation from quality to dev but still it is failing.
Please let me know, if you could help us.

SAP Public Cloud 2602 / Mass Maintenance of Sales Area Texts and Email Notes

2026-02-03T14:58:12.626000+01:00

Hello Experts,
i have to following two questions regarding the mass maintenance of sales Area Texts and Email Notes and i have combined them because they are related to the same tools:

1. My first questions is about the ability to add a new sales text to existing business partners.
My current workflow is the following:
I start by exporting the data for the relevant business partners including the table KNVV_STXL. In a second step i added a new row with the new text and used the action code I (Insert). The issue i faced is, if I try to import the file in the App F6553A i get a warning that "the Action Code I is not permitted for the table KNVV_STXL".

My question is, is there a another action code that can achieve this ? If not, what is an other way to add Sales Texts to business partners in mass ?

2. The second issue is related to the mass maintenance of email notes. In my research i have so far found out, that these notes are saved in the table ADRT and proably in the field AD_REMARK2. But from what i have seen so far, i am not able to export this table within the app Export Master data - business partners (F6551A). Therefore im also not sure if its possible to insert a new entry for this table with the MDG tools.

My question is, is this table and field out of scope for the MDG processes ? If so, is there an alternative way to maintain it in mass ?

Thank you for all responses
Best regards Lukas

Derivation for Direct Activation Mass Consolidation

2026-02-03T17:50:32.725000+01:00

Hi Team,

We have a derivation requirement in SAP MDG Mass Processing/Consolidation. The process template we’re using performs direct activation with no Change Request (CR) type involved, so we can’t use the USMD_SSW_RULE BAdI in this scenario. We need an alternative class or BAdI that supports derivations for direct activation.

API to Read Change Entity Type in Dynamic BADI

2026-02-03T18:53:21.694000+01:00

Hi Team,

We have a requirement for Dynamic Agent in the CR update scenario. We need to determine whether the Company Code and/or Sales-level entity data has changed.

If only Company Code and/or Sales-level data is changed, the workflow should proceed with auto-approval.
If any General-level data changes along with Company Code/Sales, the workflow should route for one-step approval.

Need a logic or API to read change entity type because in read change document we only getting fieldname.

Start mass processing - Products cannot delete from KSSK

2026-02-11T10:52:10.431000+01:00

Hi Experts,

we are facing the issue when we want to mass delete 3 records from KSSK table.

We are using app Start mass processing - Products ( F1047A ). The whole process seems fine, but the LAST step, the ACTIVATION is giving us error messages.
In the excel template, the tab in which we have our records is called MARA_KSSK, as it is downloaded from Export Master Data - Products (F3251😞

So after the activation process, we have 3 errors:

First one is there two times:

Second one only once:

We were trying to debug it, to find out where the messages come from, but we were not successful.
There are also same errors in SLG1 transaction for workflow user SAP_WFRT:

Do you all have any idea what can be the issue here? Or where to look?

Thank you very much for any hint and help.

SAP Public Cloud 2602 / MDG - How to Mass Import Data into existing Business Partners

2026-02-12T11:25:57.330000+01:00

Hello Experts,
i have a few questions about the ability to add new fieldvalues for existing business partners in mass.
From my research so far the simplified process should work as follows:

1. Export the resprective Business Partners, with the relevant tables and fields (App: F6551A)

2. Add an additional entry (new row) with the needed values into the downloaded Exel-File

3. Depending on the change, insert an appropiate ACTION CODE in the Action Code column.

4. Upload the file again and start the consolidation process (App: F6553A and App: F6556A)

My questions are the following:

1. Is this functionality even in scope for the basic/free MDG Version in SAP Public Cloud 2602 ?

2. If i want to add a value for a specific table and field, should i export the complete business partner or just this table/field ? Or is there an other best practice for what tables/fields to use for the export/import ?
So far both ways havent been successfull for me, because i get a variety of errors, including that certain tables need to be included in the upload or that some fields are missing and need to be filled etc.

3. What Action Codes are available in the Public Cloud MDG ? So far i found out that, there is I - Insert; C- Copy and D - Deletion.
Are there more ?

4. I have encountered multiple tables, where i get an error that the Action Code I is not allowed for this tabel. Does SAP provide information about what Action Code is allowed for what table/field or is this just try and error ?

Best regards

SAP MDG-M: Duplicate Check not working despite correct Match Profile and CR configuration

2026-02-18T15:20:07.274000+01:00

Hello Experts,

I am a beginner in SAP MDG and I'm currently trying to set up my first Duplicate Matching profile for Material Master (MM) using HANA Search. I want the system to trigger a duplicate warning during the Change Request "Check" or "Submit" step if the Material Description and Material Group match an existing record. However I dont get a popup and even if I press "Check" finds nothing at all.

I set the threshold and the duplication is checked inside the MATL01 Change Request 00 process. Here are some images:

I also read that for generic duplication check using DQM I need data services, but I didnt see anything like that in the turorials Ive watched. When accessing the Connector Administration Cockpit (ESH_COCKPIT), I see the following error: "Current system is a copy of another system" and the search object connector list is completely empty.

My questions:

1. Does the Duplicate Check in MDG require the ESH Search Object Connectors to be active/fixed, even if manual HANA search works?

2. Do I need SAP Data Services (DQM) for this basic HANA-based matching? (help.sap mentions it here: Preparing Data Services to Work With MDG for Generic Duplicate Check | SAP Help Portal, but I’m trying to use native HANA capabilities).

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

How to setup Duplicate Checks on MDG Cloud Edition 2602?

2026-02-18T16:12:48.573000+01:00

Hi, I'm fairly new to MDG Cloud Edition and I can't find enough information online. Everything I find is either about on premise, private cloud or public cloud. The Cloud Edition page from sap is very high level, it doesn't go enough into details to be helpful.

Could someone explain the step by step to setup or configure Duplicate checks for Business Partners?
What are the possibilities there?
