Processing data in batches

Use Material 360 to process SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA records in batches.

Run a batch job to ingress SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA records to MDM SaaS. The job uses a taskflow to run mapping tasks. Each mapping task includes a mapping that maps the SAP fields with the Material business entity fields.

Ingress data

When you ingress SAP material records to MDM SaaS from SAP ECC or SAP S/4HANA, the ingress job creates master records for the SAP records in MDM SaaS.

To read data from SAP, you require the SAP Table Connector, and to write data to MDM SaaS, you require the Business 360 FEP Connector. After you ingress SAP records, you can process the records in MDM SaaS.

The following image shows how to ingress SAP records in batches:

Egress data

After you process records in MDM SaaS, you can export the records to SAP S/4HANA in batches. Use Cloud Data Integration assets and multiple Business Application Programming Interfaces (BAPIs) to export the processed material records.

You can export the following records to SAP S/4HANA in batches:

•Records imported from SAP ECC. After you import material and material category records from SAP ECC, you can process the records in MDM SaaS. You can export the processed records to SAP S/4HANA, and SAP S/4HANA assigns a new material number to the processed SAP ECC record.
•Records created or updated in MDM SaaS. After you create material and material category records in MDM SaaS, you can export the processed records to SAP S/4HANA, and SAP S/4HANA assigns a new material number to the processed material record. If you update the material records integrated earlier with SAP S/4HANA in MDM SaaS, you can export the updated SAP S/4HANA records to SAP S/4HANA with the existing material numbers.
•Records imported from SAP S/4HANA. After you import material and material category records from SAP S/4HANA, you can update the records in MDM SaaS. You can export the updated records to SAP S/4HANA with the existing material numbers.

Note: After you delete a record that you already exported to SAP S/4HANA from MDM SaaS, you can't synchronize the deleted record in SAP S/4HANA.
