Introduction
With the release of SAP S/4HANA 2020, SAP Master Data Governance provides a powerful new data quality
management function. (See more details in this blog).

Most customers have their own custom fields to maintain their business-critical information. In the SAP
S/4HANA environment, key users can use the Custom Field and Logic app to manage these fields. Once you
publish custom fields in the relevant context, you can use them in related apps and APIs. In MDG, Data
Quality Management has also integrated with SAP S/4HANA extensibility. This How To guide explains how
MDG Data Quality Management supports these custom fields.

Add and Publish Custom Fields


You can access the Custom Fields and Logic app using the role SAP_BR_ADMINISTRATOR. The app is
delivered in Fiori Catalog SAP_BASIS_BC_EXT.

Create a new custom field and


publish it.

For details on how to use this app


see document.

In this example, one custom field


is created in the Business Partner
Core View, which will be part of
the business partner header data.

Leave about 10-20 minutes after
publishing.
Check the attribute in the
database table.
In this example, it is extended in
the Business Partner header
table BUT000. You can review
the new field in transaction SE11.

Synchronize the Custom Field into the MDC Process Model

Before the custom field can be used in Data Quality Management, you must synchronize the custom field into
the Process Model in MDG customizing.

Go to transaction
MDCIMG, then navigate to
Configure Process Models
and Field Properties→
Configure Process Models

In this example, the field is


extended on business
partner (Business Object
Type 147).

On the Table Field of


BUT000, we choose
Synchronize Fields.

Define Data Quality Rule for Custom Field

Now we can define a validation rule for the custom field.

In the Data Quality Rule app,


you can find the custom field
on the available list for Check
Field.
For more information about
the app see:Data Quality
Rules for Business Partners

Before the custom field can
be used in rule
implementation in a BRF+
expression, we need to
refresh the data binding.

Go to transaction code BRF+,

Search for the Application


ZMDQ_147

Go to Data Object → Structure


→ BUT000 Key and Attribute
structure.

In the Define Data Binding


section, choose Refresh
Binding

Now, you can use the custom


field in the BRF+ rule
implementation.

Example: Creating a Data
Quality Rule for Business
Partner

Mine Rules for Custom Fields
After the custom field is extended and filled with business partner data, you can use the Rule Mining function
from data quality management to discover new data quality rules.
See details of the rule mining solution in this blog.

Open the Manage Rule Mining


app.

Create a new Mining run.

Select the table which is extended


with the custom field.

In this example, it is BUT000, and


in the Field Selection, add new
Field. In the popup, you will see
the custom field.

After the Rule mining run executes
successfully, rules for the custom
fields can be discovered.

The custom field is treated like a


normal field in the table, and data
quality rules can be created
based on it.

See details of the rule mining


solution in this blog.

Data Quality Evaluation Results and Remediate Data Quality Issue


In Data Quality Management, data quality evaluation applies all rules to the active data in the system. You
are provided with an overview page app and an evaluation results app to view where your master data
violates your defined rules.
The rule violation information for your extended fields is also available in these apps and from there you can
trigger data remediation.

In our example, after
executing the data quality
evaluation, the rule
violation items appear in
the Evaluation Results for
Business Partners app.

Select the items and


choose Process. The Mass
Processing app opens to
correct the selected
objects.

In the scope, it is possible


to select the custom field.
