The scenario consists of the following steps:
- Initial setup of your subsidiary SAP Business One with product master data from the headquarters SAP S/4 HANA.
- Customizing data management to set up value mapping with SAP S/4 HANA values.
- Keeping the previously distributed master data synchronized. This includes inserts and updates for master data records coming from SAP S/4 HANA. SAP S/4 HANA is the central master data server for the subsidiary network. This implies that the scenario overwrites changes that you maintain in the subsidiary systems.
In SAP S/4 HANA the master data administrator initiates the download of business partner and/or product records to the connected SAP Business One system(s) in the subsidiaries or branches.
SAP Integration Framework 2.0 determines the target system(s) for the master data.
SAP Integration Framework 2.0 prepares the data for SAP Business One system(s) providing the expected field structures and values.
SAP Integration Framework 2.0 sends the data to all previously determined SAP Business One target systems (see SLD entries).
