To enable SAP Master Data Governance for Supplier (MDG-S), a specific set of business functions must be activated. MDG-S is built upon the Business Partner (BP) data model. Therefore, the foundational services for Business Partner (CABPSOA) are mandatory. On top of this, the specific services for the Supplier master data object (CASUPPLIERSOA) are required. Finally, the entire Master Data Governance framework relies on the Data Replication Framework (DRF) for distributing master data to target systems, making the DRFFOUNDATION business function a core prerequisite for any MDG implementation.

B. MEDBP1: This business function provides media-specific enhancements for the Business Partner and is not a general prerequisite for activating standard MDG-S functionality.

D. CAVENDORSOA: This business function relates to the classic ERP Vendor master (LFA1/LFB1 tables). MDG-S is based on the modern Business Partner model, which uses CASUPPLIERSOA.
