Features

The Master Data Governance for Supplier, Consolidation 8.0 (Reversible) business function enables you to use SAP MDG, consolidation. With SAP MDG, consolidation you can consolidate your master data using a sequence of process steps adapted to your requirements. Each individual step can be configured to meet your requirements.

Standardization

Standardization normalizes and enriches address data. Additionally a check ensures that specific address related data, such as streets or cities really exist.

Matching

Matching checks data from various source systems and the active data for duplicates. Part of the matching is the match review to check possible duplicates.

Best Record Calculation

Best record calculation, results in a record containing the cumulated, most valuable data for each match group that is identified by the matching. This calculation follows a well defined process based on certain rules.

Validation

Validation checks whether the quality of a record is sufficient to meet the requirements defined in the back-end system. If the quality requirements are met data can be saved, if not corrections and data enrichment might be required.

Activation

As the final step the activation moves the consolidated master data from the process data to the active data. Depending on the type and state of a master data record, activation can be done directly, can be done using change requests, if you use SAP MDG, central governance in parallel, or can be prohibited.
