Enterprise Search or BusinessObjects DS

Validations Re-use of existing validation logic in ERP Custom validations can be modeled and

programmed (e.g. code lists, simple checks, or modeled rules via SAP BRF+)

Address Enrichment Simple check and selection lists Integration with content provided by

SAP BusinessObjects Data Services Automatically adding Tax Jurisdiction Code

re-using existing interfaces / providers


Search functionality

Business User

New SOA service for SAP systems (Suite 7 i2010 and beyond) and non SAP systems

Replication Features Flexibility to replicate selected data only to a specific client

system by defining filters (controlled by DRF) Support of different object IDs or customizing keys between hub

and client systems (via mapping in MDG or NW PI) Monitoring and error handling
