Master Data Management
Management of master data is the key for a successful ERP system;
however:
data is registered via multiple Movex / M3 programs
 multiple data sources possible
 multiple sites / warehouse / locations
 multiple roles for data management
Summarised:
 Who does what?
 Who starts with each screen and what shall be set for all fields that you are not
responsible for?
 What more must be updated?
 How is this controlled?
 When is the process done?
 What is not done?
Example: Item maintenance in Movex / M3
Work with items in Movex
MMS001
MMS002
MMS003
MMS015
MMS025
MMS030
MMS053

Environment
ComActivity
Run-time
Environment
1. The modeling activity
creates XML specifications
4. Acts according to instructions and
creates the application ”on the fly”
2. Organizes and store meta-data,
rules, workflow and layout specifications
3. Read and instantiate meta-data,
rules, workflow and layout specifications
Business
Service Repository
Store and organize all resources
that makes up a complete
business process
5. Supports personalizing the UI
Meta-data, Business Rules, Workflow and Layout specifications
are the application source code. Through the model-based
approach the activities of designing and developing a
business process are in fact one and the same.
How to create a process?
1.
Design screens (overview and details) based on Movex
repository
2.
Define screenflow (including actions & events)
3.
Design workflow (appoint useractions & roles)
