SAP Master Data Governance, Consolidation Process Flow
Data Load Open to SAP HANA services (smart data integration), non-HANA based ETL mechanisms from SAP, and non-SAP ETL options Standardize Match Calculate Best Record Validate Activate Validate and enrich address data Possibility to connect to 3rd party tools for standardization and enrichment Find duplicates based on customer specific matching rules Review match groups Create “Best Records” based on approved match groups Validate best records against backend customizing to verify whether records can be activated Provide consolidated master data for analytical or operational use Option to activate directly, or indirectly triggering post processing using central governance
10
SAP Master Data Governance, consolidation Prerequisite: Data Load
Open to SAP HANA services (smart data integration), non-HANA based ETL mechanisms from SAP, and non-SAP ETL options Standardize Match Calculate Best Record Validate Activate SAP HANA In-Memory Platform Recommendation, if you run SAP MDG on SAP HANA: SAP HANA smart data integration provides SAP HANA-native real-time transactional replication, batch / bulk ETL and transformations into SAP HANA from both SAP and non-SAP application databases Services Smart Data Integration Other recommended ETL options include: Real Time Replication: SAP Replication Server for non-SAP application sources incl. transformation; SAP Landscape Transformation Replication Server for SAP application sources without replication Bulk / Batch ETL: SAP Data Services for all bulk / batch ETL scenarios from SAP and non-SAP application sources (incl. transformation) …or bring your own ETL tool
11
SAP Master Data Governance, consolidation Standardizing data
Data Load Standardize Match Calculate Best Record Validate Activate Recommendation, if you run SAP MDG on SAP HANA: SAP HANA smart data quality transforms data to common format to enable high-quality matching. This includes out-of-the-box address validation and address standardization. SAP HANA In-Memory Platform Services Smart Data Quality Process-step specific KPI’s are shown: Other recommended address validation and standardization options include: Called through BAS interface: SAP Data Services on any other BAS-certified solution
12
SAP Master Data Governance, consolidation Matching data
Data Load Standardize Match Calculate Best Record Validate Activate Recommendation, if you run SAP MDG on SAP HANA: SAP HANA smart data quality provides batch matching features to identify duplicate data SAP HANA Fuzzy Search including similarity score ensures high detection quality in search and matching SAP HANA In-Memory Platform Services Smart Data Quality Process-step specific KPI’s are shown: Other recommended matching options include: Called through BAS interface: SAP Data Services
13
SAP Master Data Governance, consolidation Matching data
Data Load Standardize Match Calculate Best Record Validate Activate A Match Review application allows verifying whether duplicates have been correctly identified and grouped You can for example: Approve or reject a match group Delete or split single or multiple records from a match group Approved match groups are then provided for subsequent calculation of best records
14
SAP Master Data Governance, consolidation Calculating the best record
Data Load Standardize Match Calculate Best Record Validate Activate Create best records per match group according to survivorship rules These rules for example include: Survivorship rule types on table level: like source system reliability, recency,… Survivorship rule types on field level: like completeness,…
15
SAP Master Data Governance, consolidation Validating data
Data Load Standardize Match Calculate Best Record Validate Activate Check whether new records, calculated best records, and updated existing records have been computed correctly, for example: Use validation against backend customizing to verify whether records could be activated Process-step specific KPI’s are shown, for example: status of new “Single Records”, new “Best Records”, and status of “Updates”
16
SAP Master Data Governance, consolidation Activating data
Data Load Standardize Match Calculate Best Record Validate Activate Provide consolidated data for analytical or operational use, or initiate governance To achieve this, the activation type can be flexibly configured: Direct activation (typically for analytical use cases) Activation initiating central governance (i.e. triggering an SAP MDG change request)
17
SAP Master Data Governance Consolidation optionally combined with central governance
Get data clean Approve Validate Maintain Adapt Replicate Central Master Data Governance Calculate Best Record Match Standardize Activate Data Load Master Data Consolidation Optional Integration Keep data clean
18
SAP Master Data Governance Covering many use cases (consolidation optionally combined with central governance) Continuous consolidation for analytical purposes Ensure data consistency via consolidation for analytical use cases, e.g., global spend reporting 1 2 Consolidation for initial load before central governance Ensure data correctness and accuracy via consolidation run before starting central governance Consolidation for M&A Ensure data consistency via consolidation runs every time it comes to M&A process while continuously running central governance Central governance only Ensure clean data at the point of creation or change Continued hybrid approach Deliberately keep some parts under local ownership with continuous consolidation and some parts under central governance
19
SAP Master Data Governance Contextualized SAP HANA-based analytics
Feature description Combining change request data with master data object attributes and change docs: Analytics of master data is now also sensitive towards data that is directly associated with the change request itself, covering master data attributes, change documents, and SAP Business Workflow based information. Business value Detailed analysis and drill-down available based on master data attributes, their changes and the related workflow data Real-time identification of process issues in large information amounts Appropriate remediation through systematic analysis of SLA failures Collaboration with the persons in charge for fast correction Object-based analytics (like average processing time of change requests for specific material types) Change-documents based analytics (like a dashboard with all CRs for material data where specific plant was created or changed) Workflow-based analytics (like open work items per org. unit to show which unit has most open work items)
