In this IMG activity, you define the master data template.

To create a new master data template, proceed as follows:

  1. In the initial screen, choose an autonomous master data category and then Create.
  2. Maintain the header data of the master data template. To do this, choose Header data -> Master data template nodes.
  3. Maintain the individual master data template nodes. In the hierarchy area on the left-hand side of the screen, you can find the master data category you selected. You can derive information about the status of the nodes from the icons on the screen:
    • If a node has a mandatory attribute that has not et been assigned a value then it has a red icon. The allocation of icons also observes the hierarchy of the master data template category. For example, mandatory attributes with lower-level nodes that have not yet been assigned a value are also given a red icon.
    • A grey icon indicates inactive master data template nodes. You can activate and copy these depending on the cardinality specified in the master data template category.
    • A green icon indicates master data template nodes that have all the required entries.
  4. Select an active master data template node and maintain its attributes.

Since the general master data categories are already provided by SAP, you can now construct all the master data templates used to be used in your company at once. In addition, you can view and maintain existing master data templates.

We recommend that you create a business partner in a parallel session. This enables you to view the contents of the individual fields and determine the fields to which you want to preassign data.

Opening a parallel session containing the function (create business partner) has the following adavantages:

  • The function enables you to see the meaning of the attributes, and whether you can maintain them. The attributes in the master data template generally correspond to those on the screen of the master data function.
  • The sequence of the attribute in the master data template and the corresponding function in also generally uniform. However, exceptions can occur. For example, entering a division influences the entries in all the other fields in the master data function.
  • You can use the function checks. For technical reasons, you cannot check the constants in the master data template maintenance function.
  • The master data function shows you which fields are mandatory. Attributes, for which the Mandatory field is selected, often contain additional fields, whose entries are based on other entries.
