SAP Master Data Management

If an enterprise stores master data in different locations and systems at the same time, then this multiple storage can lead to redundancies and variances, which might significantly disrupt business processes. SAP Master Data Management (SAP MDM) enables you to create master data that is uniform across the enterprise and to distribute it to different dependent systems. SAP MDM uses the technological basis of the SAP Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI) to distribute the data. It not only distributes the data but for new master data, it always checks whether identical master data objects are already available and generates comprehensive information on duplicates, which can in turn be transferred into the SAP BW or used in analyses. This reduces data management costs and significantly simplifies the correction of data errors.
