MDM Key Capabilities What they are used for
Master Data Operations The SAP NetWeaver MDM processing layer
SAP NetWeaver MDM capabilities facilitating master data operations
Role-based Access: Access data stored in MDM using adequate UI technologies, e.g.
MDM Windows clients for power usersSAP NetWeaver Portal leveraging MDM iViews for occasional users
Drilldown Search featuring powerful and efficient search capabilitiesAllows users to start with all of the items in the repository and then effortlessly zoom in on items of interest
Manage data in the repository, incl. main tables and sub tables recordsLeverage built-in data management workflows or SAP Business Process Management to manage compliance process
Centrally manage catalogs (upload, consolidate, search) and publish the information to business processes
Control technical operations Streamlined technical operations is a prerequisite for overall data processing
Accessing Data in a Role-Based Manner
Accessing data stored in MDM using adequate UI technologies
Windows UIs for sophisticated key user master data operations (e.g. mass changes) and administrative tasks
MDM iView library provides a set of configurable iViews to access an MDM repository in multiple dimensions
Ability to design and configure specialized portal pages for a set of user requirements
MDM iViews areTotally adaptive to the schema structure of the MDM repository to which they are connectedFully collaborative with other iViews on the page
Role-based access with MDM Windows clients or SAP NetWeaver Portal to MDM repositories
MDM
Searching Data Using Drilldown Capabilities
MDM’s drilldown search has the following features:
All possible values are always displayed in pick lists from which one or more values can be selected
Pick lists are continuously updated to include only values that are currently valid
Multidimensional selections can be made simultaneously from among different search parameters (such as category, manufacturer, attributes, and keyword) and in any order
MDM also includes free-form search incl. a literal search that accepts typed values and a keyword search that can match keywords in any or all of the fields
Entire repository can be easily searched and any item located in a matter of seconds
Parametric SearchProcess of finding records by selecting attributes and/or values (parameters) that must be matched in the records searched
Creating and Maintaining Master Data
Easily maintain:
Complex hierarchies and taxonomies
Reference data
Assign values to records via multi- valued lookups, hierarchies, and taxonomies
Quickly find and update multiple records at once
Compare and merge multiple records using side-by-side comparisons
MDM Data Manager* to search, create, edit, and structure content stored in an MDM repository
* MDM iViews, APIs, and Web services can also be utilized to access master data stored in an MDM repository
Versatile Options in Data Modeling
Flexibility for Data Modeling and Complex Objects
Support for multi-object repositories
Multiple business objects (=main tables) can reside in one and the same repositoryE.g. supplier and product data can be stored in one repository
Records of different main tables can reference each other (new field type“Lookup [Main]”)E.g. a supplier can be related to several products
Main tables can share the same customizing/lookup tablesE.g. the main tables “customers” and “suppliers” can be connected to the table “countries” in order to ensure consistent information about the country of origin of both business partners
Support for nested structures
New composite data type tuple allows modelling of nested structuresE.g. product capacity information depending on plant and location or multiple addresses of a business partner can hold multiple phone numbers

TimelinessPresents required up-to-date information to a consumer on time
AccuracyInformation adheres to defined formats and standards
Master data of high quality is mandatory for efficient and error-free business process execution
The state of completeness, validity, consistency, timeliness, and accuracy that makes data appropriate for a specific use
Versatility of SAP NetWeaver MDM Comprehensive data quality framework
Validate master data
Enrich master data using e.g. SAP BusinessObjects Data Services
De-duplicate master data
Leverage MDM workflow or SAP NetWeaver BPM to manage compliance process
Enforce data governance through user roles, security, and audits to prevent future data problems
Data Quality Focus
Increasing Data Quality Leveraging ETL from SAP BusinessObjects Data Services
Option to use ETL capabilities of SAP BusinessObjects Data ServicesFor initial and incremental data loads to SAP NetWeaver MDM from any source via file and Web services based integration
Automated data pre-cleansing that leverages capabilities such as auto merge and survivorship rules
Out-of-the-box system connectors
Cleanse source data before importing to MDM
Increasing Data Quality With mapping & conversion
Field Mapping Allows you to map an individual source field to an individual destination field
Value Mapping Source fields can be mapped at the value level against the legal destination
Conversion Each source value can manually or automatically be converted or reformatted
Normalization and standardization of information with MDM Import Manager
Increasing Data Quality With validations & assignments
Ensure compliance according to defined criteria with Validations and Assignments
Validations Can be used to perform all sorts of tests that implement business logic, e.g.
Making sure required fields all have a non-NULL value
Making sure non-lookup fields that do not have pick lists to enforce data integrity have a legal value (e.g. Price > 0)
Comparing the values of different fields to make sure the relative values are legal (e.g. Price > Cost)
Ensure compliance according to defined criteria with Validations and AssignmentsAssignments
Used to calculate and set the value of a field, e.g.
Provide users convenient and “error-free” shortcuts to fill-in fields
Set field values depending on workflow events (like “Set status”)
Expressions MDM expressions are Excel-like formulas that are evaluated by MDM and return a distinct value for each record
Used within MDM in validations, assignments, and calculated fields
Define complex formulas based on the data values of the record
Evaluate those formulas against a group of one or more records
Increasing Data Quality With validations & assignments
Increasing Data Quality With matching & merging
De-duplication of records for unambiguous and consistent master data
MatchingLocates duplicate records for consolidation within an MDM repositorySupports interactive, strategy-based matching and is exposed in the MDM Data Manager*Allows you to:
Define matching strategiesApply these strategies to a set of records and view the matching results
MergingUses the matching score to decide which of the potential duplicates to mergeCollapses duplicates into a single record
* Also available via APIs
Increasing Data Quality With key mapping
Provide cross-system identification to ensure enterprise-wide data quality
Key MappingMaintains the relationship between the remote system’s identifier (or key) for an object and the corresponding master data object in MDM
Provides cross-system identification for reliable, company-wide analytics and business operations
Is the main deliverable of Master Data Consolidation
A remote system’s objects are mapped to master data objects within MDM using key mapping
