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.
