Objective and scope

This OP will guide you to create E-catalog for both MDM and Punch-out e-catalog. For MDM e-catalog, you can see how to upload items in MDM import manager program until you select items in SRM7.
What you will need for creating or modifying e-catalog is Microsoft excel, MDM Data Manager, MEM Import Manager, SAP- BQ2 and SAP BP2.

Concept of E-catalog

There are 2 types of E-catalog which are MDM and Punch-out. MDM is e-catalog that you have to create items to select in SRM7. Punch-out, however, is e-catalog that vendor already has it own website (e.g. office supplies) which means once you create contract header; you can generate web service in BQ2/BP2


How to set up server

For the person who never uses MDM data manager before, you will need to set up server for MDM Data manager to access the program to do the creation or modification
