MDG DQM: Enriching product master data with derivation rules in S/4 HANA

Today in this blog we move our focus to performing derivations using MDG DQM.

INTRODUCTION


MDG DQM from S/4 HANA 2021 can be used to derive attributes of product data and business partner data in both mass processing and consolidation. From S/4 HANA 2022 MDG DQM also provides the capability of derive product and business partner attributes in central governance as well.

With the strong push of moving processes to cloud with SAP BTP, MDG also is moving towards cloud with SAP MDG cloud edition. Come S/4 HANA 2023 for MDG will also see significant transition to cloud as a result use of DQM for rules and derivations becomes cruical, as we need to re discover the traditional way of doing development in MDG.

SHAP Interaction values with Automated Predictive (APL)

We already covered SHAP-explained models for classification and regression scenarios in a previous APL blog post, and at the time we talked briefly about the main effect of a predictor and its interaction effect with the other predictors of the model. Now with HANA ML 2.17, you have the ability to visualize the interaction between variables in a heatmap. This new visualization adds to the bar chart Variable Importance in providing a global explanation of the classification/regression model. To get that new feature you need APL 2311 or a later version.

This blog will walk you through an example using the Census dataset that comes with APL.
