- Governance roles: requester, specialist, steward, approver
- MDG versus MDM and third-party tools
- Where MDG fits in an S/4HANA landscape
- Defining a governance operating model
Data modelling and the MDG data model
Learn the model layer that everything else configures against.

- Impact of model changes on existing requests
Change requests and process modelling
Configure the workflow that turns a data request into governed data.
- Change request types and their configuration
- Single object and multi object change requests
- Process modelling: steps, actions, status
- Rule-based workflow with BRF+
- Agent determination and approval levels
- Parallel processing and collective processing
- Change request analytics and SLA
- Handling rejections and rework
UI configuration and user experience
Make the request screens usable, because adoption depends on it.
- Floorplan Manager basics for MDG
- UI building blocks and configuration
- Field properties: visible, mandatory, read only
- UI Building Block Configuration (UIBB)
- Feeder classes and enhancements
- Fiori apps for MDG requests
- Search, duplicate check and value help
- Personalisation and role-based UI
Validations, derivations and data quality
Enforce the rules that make governance meaningful.

- Duplicate check and matching configuration
- Data quality management and rules
- Data quality dashboards and scorecards
- Remediation processes
- Standard checks versus custom checks
- Balancing strictness with usability
Domains in depth: material, business partner, finance
Work through the domains most projects actually implement.
- MDG-M: material master governance
- Views, plants and organisational data in requests
- MDG-BP, MDG-S and MDG-C for partners
- Supplier and customer specific rules
- MDG-F: financial master data
- Cost centres, profit centres and hierarchies
- Domain specific data models and UIs
- Prioritising domains in a rollout
Consolidation, replication and operations
Get governed data out to every system that needs it, and keep it clean over time.
- Consolidation process: match, best record, activate
- Mass processing for bulk changes
- Data Replication Framework configuration
- Replication models, business systems and filters
- SOA services, IDoc and ALE replication
- Key mapping and value mapping
- Monitoring replication and error handling
- Ongoing governance and stewardship metrics
Projects you will build
Material governance process
Configure a material change request type with a multi-step approval workflow, validations and duplicate check, then run a creation request end to end.
Business partner consolidation
Load a messy supplier data set, run matching and best record calculation, activate the consolidated result and review the key mapping.
Replication setup
Configure a replication model to a connected system, replicate a governed object, break it deliberately and diagnose the failure.
Tools you will use
- MDG change request UI
- The requester and approver experience, and the screen you spend most configuration effort on.
- Data model configuration
- Entity types, attributes and relationships, the foundation of every MDG object.
- BRF+
- Rule-based workflow, validations and derivations, all configured without code.
- Consolidation and mass processing
- Matching, best record and bulk change processes for cleaning data at scale.
- Data Replication Framework
- Replication models, filters and monitoring, where governed data leaves the hub.
- Data quality dashboards
- Rules, scores and remediation lists used by data stewards.

What learners say
The change request and BRF+ modules are the core of the job and they are taught properly here, not skimmed.
Consolidation versus governance was finally explained clearly. We were using the wrong one for our use case.
The replication project caught me out in the best way. Debugging a broken DRF setup is exactly what the job is.

What a day looks like
- Request queue
- Change requests stuck in workflow, usually an agent determination or a validation nobody can satisfy.
- Configuration
- Adding a field to a request UI, adjusting a validation, or extending the data model for a new attribute.
- Data quality review
- Running quality rules and working the remediation list with the stewards who own each domain.
- Replication monitoring
- Checking that governed records reached the connected systems and fixing failures.
- Governance meeting
- Agreeing rules with business data owners, which is as much of the job as configuration.
