independent. Subsequently the clients would need to follow the data hierarchy
to create exact group of master data. This influences the information creation
to work to be done just by the accomplished clients.
• The framework produces
a special number for every object made in the framework. The clients would need
to monitor these frameworks produced numbers for each object, as it is required
while making ensuing articles in the framework.
• Users think that it’s
hard to relate the articles in SAP framework with the ongoing business objects.
• There are sure
particular values for objects which the client won't not know at the season of
information creation which generally can be defaulted, this can prompt to data
inconsistency.
