  Maintenance mode is a feature of SAP Master Data Services (EIM-MDS) that allows users to make changes to master data without affecting the current system. This mode allows users to make changes to master data without impacting the current system, allowing for a more efficient and secure way of making changes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use maintenance mode, users must first create a maintenance request in the EIM-MDS system. This request will contain the details of the changes that need to be made. Once the request is approved, the user can then make the necessary changes in maintenance mode. Once the changes are complete, they can be activated and applied to the system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using maintenance mode, it is important to ensure that all changes are thoroughly tested before they are activated. This will help ensure that any errors or issues are identified and addressed before they can cause any disruption to the system. Additionally, it is important to keep track of all changes made in maintenance mode so that they can be easily reverted if needed.
