What is SAP MDM?

SAP MDM is module built on top of SAP XI Netweaver which is used to consolidate master data objects from multiple different SAP remote systems. SAP MDM follows the consolidated model of collecting master data from several systems and to store the details in a central business partner repository. Consolidation allows for detection and a cleansing of duplicate and identical records. Don’t get confused this with centralized model or harmonized model. As of this writing SAP MDM supports the following master data objects (Check www.SAP.com for latest information).

• Customers
• Vendors
• Employees
• Materials
• Products
• Business partners

Who Needs SAP MDM?

• Do you have multiple SAP or non SAP systems which houses the master data for example customers, vendors, partners etc., if the answer is yes then you might be needing it to consolidate your master data. For example your company and global subsidiaries have master data of customers which are housed in different SAP systems. There might be high probability of duplicate customers across the systems. SAP MDM helps you to remove that duplicates so that you can service your customers better. The same concept works for your other master data like vendors, materials, employees, product data and business partners.
• Global companies who ship from multiple locations as mismatched master data/product data will affect your ability to ship orders from global points as there would be problems in ATP etc as they won’t recognize both of them as same products/materials.
