What is delta synchronization in SAP AP-MD - Master Data?

SAP Term: delta synchronization

• Component: AP-MD

• Component Name: Master Data

• Description: In the synchronization cockpit, delta synchronization signifies each synchronization of corresponding master data objects that is carried out after initial synchronization. As a rule, delta synchronization is triggered by a change to one of the master data objects involved.

• Key Concepts: 
  Delta synchronization is a process used in SAP's AP-MD Master Data Replication component to ensure that data is kept up-to-date between two systems. It works by only transferring the changes (or “deltas”) between the two systems, rather than the entire dataset. This helps to reduce the amount of data that needs to be transferred and makes the process more efficient. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use delta synchronization, you must first configure the two systems to be synchronized. This includes setting up the connection between them and defining which data should be replicated. Once this is done, the delta synchronization process can be triggered manually or set up to run automatically at regular intervals. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up delta synchronization, it is important to ensure that both systems are using the same version of the data. If one system is using an older version, then it may not be able to recognize the changes made on the other system. Additionally, it is important to ensure that both systems are configured correctly in order to avoid any errors during the synchronization process.
