• Key Concepts: 
  Remote system is a term used in SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (MDM) to refer to a system that is not part of the MDM landscape. It can be an external system, such as a customer relationship management (CRM) system, or an internal system, such as an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The remote system can be used to store and manage master data, which can then be accessed and used by the MDM system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use a remote system with SAP NetWeaver MDM, the remote system must first be configured and connected to the MDM landscape. This can be done using the SAP NetWeaver MDM Connector, which allows for the exchange of data between the remote system and the MDM landscape. Once the remote system is connected, master data can be imported from the remote system into the MDM landscape. This data can then be used by other applications in the MDM landscape.
