Centrally organized master data management

A central master data management system monitors and controls the master data maintenance processes. The Data Master uses systematic analyses and checks to provide up-to-date dashboards for defined key figures. Another advantage is the ability to store standardized sets of rules for the master data and thus achieve optimum consistency and quality.

Checking the current database via rules

• Changes to the material master or other data objects are only permitted if the rules pass the check
• Continuous improvement of the current data quality

Monthly data analysis via material master

• Regular update of key figures in dashboards to improve error rates

Evaluations via material selections and classification

• Simple creation of material lists with fields from the material master and classification

Evaluations via dynamic selections and rules

• Better data quality through regular, systematic check routines
• Less clarification effort: rules for different business processes are documented in the rule set
• Greater efficiency of central master data maintenance, resulting in fewer tickets from users in the specialist area
• Administration and maintenance is possible by the central master data team

Central creation of material masters via an integrated mask

• Quick initial creation of materials using an input mask

Mass maintenance via Excel integration

• Increased efficiency of mass installations and mass changes thanks to easy-to-use and secure MS Excel integration (SAP download and SAP upload)
• Checking of created or changed data from Excel before saving (posting) in SAP

Updating the database via rules

• Automation of subsequent changes through rule-based change processes
• Active assurance and continuous improvement of data quality
