SAP Master Data Governance, cloud edition: New How-To Guide for predefined custom fields

[steffen_ulmer]

Hi Community,

Although SAP Master Data Governance, cloud edition is a SaaS solution you can configure predefined custom fields. This feature is similar to what you know from the on-premise world as "Z-fields". Compared to data modeling and appends in ABAP it is much easier to configure the "predefined custom fields".

You can use the fields in central governance, consolidation and data quality management and you can also define your own validation rules for the predefined custom fields.

The following screenshots shows you a predefined custom field in a request form of SAP Master Data Governance, cloud edition central governance

I recommend to read this HowTo-Guide for more insights and a step-by-step guidance to configure the feature:

Hi Steffen - quick question hopefully, does this allow 'configuration' of standard fields in the BP i.e. to make them always mandatory or even suppressed if they are not required ?

[steffen_ulmer]

yes:

1. with the "Adapt UI" feature you can also configure (re-label, hide) standard fields.


2. I would build checks ( like mandatory) with the DQM app "Validation rules- Business Partners" as i described in my blog
