• Key Concepts: 
  Simulated configuration is a feature of SAP Master Data Services (EIM-MDS) that allows users to create a virtual environment to test and validate changes to their master data before they are implemented in the production environment. This feature helps to ensure that any changes made to the master data do not have unintended consequences or cause any disruption to the system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use simulated configuration, users must first create a virtual environment in which they can make changes to their master data. This can be done by creating a copy of the existing master data and making changes to it in the virtual environment. Once the changes have been made, users can then test and validate them in the virtual environment before implementing them in the production environment. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using simulated configuration, it is important to ensure that all changes made in the virtual environment are properly tested and validated before they are implemented in the production environment. This will help to ensure that any changes made do not have unintended consequences or cause any disruption to the system. Additionally, it is important to keep track of all changes made in the virtual environment so that they can be easily reverted if necessary.
