≪ Previous: Specification Assignment tab in MDG-M

Hi,

Maybe you have read the Innovations in SAP Master Data Governance 7.0? blog by Markus Kuppe.

If not: I recommend reading that fantastic blog because it will update you with all the "must know" information on MDG 7.0.

As a follow up, I would like to share some click-through demos in this blog series. The plan is to share more and more simple demos on the new MDG 7.0 features in the next months.

This is the list of demo`s:

Number	Topic	Link(s)	Description
1	BCV Side Panel apps	MDG-C:http://demo.tdc.sap.com/SpeedDemo/01c2946bff5b080a MDG-S: http://demo.tdc.sap.com/SpeedDemo/f974eeda5e85b210 MDG-M: http://demo.tdc.sap.com/SpeedDemo/47d7e221a072b3bd	SAP MDG 7.0 delivers several BCV CHIP applications. These click-through demos will show you the standard content. Example: In the MDG-C click-through demo you will search for an existing customer record. After opening the details you will display the open Sales Orders in the Side Panel.
2	MDG Cleansing Cases	MDG-C http://demo.tdc.sap.com/SpeedDemo/91f50d23edc2bcba	New with this release, there is also merge functionality for customers and suppliers. Whenever a user identifies potential duplicates in a search result list, or when the system identifies them in a duplicate check during change request processing, the user can create a Cleansing Case that contains all potential duplicates. Using an underlying change request, this cleansing case can be processed by an expert to merge the data from all duplicates into one target record.* * from Markus`s Blog Innovations in SAP Master Data Governance 7.0

How to use the click-through-demos:

Generally the click-through-demos should be self-guiding. Just click on the link within the table below and you will be forwarded to the corresponding page. In this page you will typically see in the middle of the screen some numbers. Just click on one number and you will be guided through the first scene. Within the screenshots you will see a doted rectangular shape. Please click within this shape and you will see the next screenshot.

If you have any questions on the shared information please contact me via SCN. All the demo`s are also available for a live demonstration on www.sapdemocloud.com and our pre-sales experts are happy to show them to you.

Best Regards

If the HANA view contains attributes with technical keys (such as Country Keys or Region Codes), the drilldown search results display technical keys instead of text descriptions. To ensure that text descriptions display in the browser panes and result sets of the drilldown search, you must manually modify your generated SAP HANA views in SAP HANA Studio by adding text joins to the corresponding text tables.	MDG7.0	MDG7.0
BI Content
New November 2013 Activating BI Content for Analysis of Change Requests	With MDG 6.0 EHP6, SAP supports BI Content; reports and functions that analyze how effectively change requests are processed in your organization. You must activate the content first, as described in this document.

In addition, you place the parameter on the change request UIBB on the tab for the general data. The user can select from business areas defined in Customizing. (The relevant data element is GSBER and the relevant table is TGSB). When a user opens the change request for display, the Requesting Business Area parameter is displayed and cannot be changed.
