SAP Master Data Management

As digital transformation progresses, high data quality is more important than ever, and clean master data remains the foundation for making sound business decisions. It does not matter whether it is a matter of creating SAP master data for material; customer or vendor, maintaining data in the business partner under SAP S/4HANA; or preparing SAP master data for an upcoming SAP S/4HANA transformation and data migration.

End-to-end processes for master data maintenance in SAP for better data quality

Automated creation of master data for material, customer, vendor, and business partners in S/4HANA greatly reduces maintenance costs and prevents input errors. Creating data for any number of organizational units in just one step increases data security and harmonization. Thanks to a flexible workflow concept, all environment data and necessary process steps can be integrated.

The SAP add-on MDC Master Data Cockpit supports the checking of data records for completeness and the release of master records for completing an SAP workflow. The respective employees are notified automatically via e-mail from the SAP workflow.

Since the process is transparent, you can keep track of all new steps at any time. Another important aspect: The MDC Master Data Cockpit can be integrated completely into SAP and customized.

For automated SAP master data changes via workflow in the productive system, the SAP add-on MDC Process Cockpit is the solution. Both SAP add-ons are available separately and can be combined with one another.

This can be changed with an automated workflow network in SAP. valantic’s MDC Process Cockpit experts will be happy to help you.
