R/3-XI-MDM (Outbound Scenario)
SUBBAIAH GORLA BALA

This article will show you how to integrate SAP R/3 and Master Data Management (MDM) using PI in short framework. We will be discussing Outbound process i.e. Outbound to the SAP R/3

Figure Outbound to R/3
MDM Configuration Steps:
Step One-->Create Client System
Follow the same steps to create client system. Also we can use the same client system.
Step Two-->Create Port for Client System
Follow the same steps to create inbound port.
The Port Name is SIEBEL_IB_CUS_SIEBELCUS01, Code SIEBEL_IB_CUS_SIEBELCUS01, and Type as Inbound. See the figures below.

Figure Port for Inbound
MDM Server Side Configuration
In the SAP MDM Server, Look at the server folder structure for the Inbound folder which we have created in the MDM Console.

Figure MDM Server Folder
FTP Server Side Configuration
Step Three-->FTP Server Configuration
Configure/Specify the file folder path for pulling the file in FTP Server. This is screen refers the FTP server configuration (WS_FTP server)

Figure FTP Server
SAP XI / PI Side Configuration
Step Four --> SAP PI Receiver Communication Channel

Figure Receiver CC
Outbound Process Flow:

Figure Outbound Process Flow
>>>Here, I will be discussing Outbound process, the above figure shows the entire process
Process step in R/3
In this IDoc triggers to outbound port.
Process step in PI
The IDoc Communication Channel picks up in the PI System and starts the PI Process. In the PI, transformation and conversion happens and sends to the File Adaptor. The file adaptor pushes the file to the specified path in MDM server folder.
Process step in MDM
The Import Manager picks up the file which the file placed in server folder and imports the file to MDM repository main table.

I hope this blog will be useful for real time while integrating the same.

SAP Master Data Management 5.5 (MDM) distributes master data to SAP ERP Central Component (ECC). As MDM does not have a direct interface into SAP ECC, SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI) will be used for distribution of the master data objects. This could be vendors, customers or banks or any other master data object. In a central Master Data Management scenario, there is no feedback provided by the backend system if the distribution was successful or not. If this is mandatory in your project, the following process might be considered. There will be a complex process developed via Business Process Management (BPM) to be able to send master data into SAP and query the delivery status and post it back to MDM in case of success. Also the process needs to send emails to the requestor of the master data change/creation in case of success or send an email to a general administrator email address in case of failure. In the described business case, there will be a portal view to enter master data requests via SAP Enterprise Portal through a person called “requestor”. Please see URL for full article.
