SAP Central Finance – What it can replicate?

During Central Finance projects we always have a challenge to understand what we can replicate from source systems and what cannot in terms of replication from source to Central Finance.

Master Data objects is the pre requisite for transactional data replication and can be replicated based on the method/tools which customer want to use. Recommended choice is SAP MDG but it is not the only option. Some master data objects are namely:

• Customer
• Vendor
• Material
• GL Accounts
• Cost Centres
• Profit Centres and more

Also this blog only focusses on replication of data in near real time and not the initial load. Initial load can be and is far different from replication.
