Master data strategy on SAP MDG: process design and deduplication of business partners across number ranges
Master data strategy and deduplication concept based on SAP MDG
Project duration in months
8
CLIENT: Global manufacturer of propulsion and power generation systems
CONTEXT: No uniform master data concept was in place. Because business partners were maintained per division, the same partner was created several times across separate number ranges - driving up maintenance effort and putting data consistency at risk.
OUR CONTRIBUTION: Master data strategy, design of master data management processes on SAP MDG, development of a deduplication strategy and independent review of the existing concept.
BUSINESS BENEFIT: One master data concept and process design the organization can operate on its own, so that duplicate business partners are prevented by design instead of being removed again after every cycle - with the deduplication approach reviewed before execution rather than after.
