SAP MDG Experts:


Please share your ideas/thoughts on the below requirement:


Requirement:

Ability to

  • Validate Address
  • Search for duplicates based on Address & TAX ID (Fuzzy Search)

In a MDG System ( domains Customer/Supplier ) which is co-deployed on a Transactional ECC, with no DQM installed.


Note: Was able to set up a exact DB search, but not Fuzzy search as DQM is not installed.



Thanks & Regards,

Hello Archana,

You need DQM installed for the requirements mentioned. Both for address validation (If validation via BODS data services)and Address Search( Fuzzy search enabled).

As an alternative, you can install TREX for Enterprise Search which supports fuzzy search mode. Then you would have to set 'ES' when configuring duplicate check for

And for address validation, you can use any other service/function which validates addresses. The DQM service call is made in address enrichment adapter class,( Also the feeder class and webdynpro component needs to be looked into). So you would have to create your own enrichment just customizing your own 3rd party service for validation.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Shephalika.

We are analyzing, if we need DQM now.

Regarding Enterprise Search(w/o DQM), I have a question, does it work similar to Material?

Example Scenario:

Existing Vendors (Business Partners) exists with Name 1 - Values 'ABC Org'. If I start creating new Vendor (BP), with Name 1 - Value 'ABC Orgz', will it be treated as duplicate when Fuzzy search(ES - TREX) is enabled. Material treats this as duplicate. If this works, then we may not need DQM. Any input here, will help a lot.

Thanks,

Hello Archana,

From the duplicate check framework, fuzzy is enabled. So, yes, new Vendor with Name1 - 'ABC Orgz' would be considered as a duplicate. The behavior should be similar to Material.

Hope it helps.
