With the latest release of SAP S/4HANA 1809, SAP Master Data Governance offers comprehensive data quality management capabilities for product master data.
This new app provides you with a repository to catalog and define data-quality rules. You can describe your rules comprehensively, including business aspects, ownership information, and their implementations. Life-cycle management is supported by status handling and various collaboration features.
The data quality rules can be applied to all product master data in your SAP S/4HANA system to provide a one-time or scheduled evaluation, for example at regular intervals. This provides you not only with a snapshot of the current findings on the level of each product and rule. You can decide how long to keep these results, so you can observe trends and deltas over time. Rules can be assigned to freely defined data quality dimensions and weighted according to their impact to provide you with data quality scores.
The evaluation result can be analyzed using attributes of product master data and data quality rules, so that you can manage your data quality initiatives and prioritize your efforts according to impact and business value.
Core editing capabilities of SAP S/4HANA, as well as extended features provided by SAP Master Data Governance for governance of product master data, are integrated with the data quality analysis to efficiently fix errors.
Data quality information at a glance is provided in one single place, where you can see the current data quality score, it’s trend over time and the distribution of errors in your product master data along multiple dimensions. From this overview page you can drill-down to the actual evaluation result on the level of products and rules.
Master Data Quality Management with SAP Master Data Governance provides you with unique benefits:
