SAP Master Data Governance: Centralizing Data Quality Across the Enterprise
SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) enables organizations to consolidate, govern, and distribute master data across SAP and non-SAP systems from a central platform. SAPinsider covers how MDG supports enterprise data strategy, compliance, and S/4HANA migration by ensuring that customer, vendor, material, and financial master data is accurate and consistent.
What Is SAP Master Data Governance?
SAP Master Data Governance is an application that allows organizations to manage master data centrally, enforcing business rules, validation workflows, and data quality standards across the enterprise. It can be deployed on SAP S/4HANA on-premise, in the private cloud, or through MDG Cloud Edition powered by SAP BTP. MDG supports domain-specific governance for customers, suppliers, materials, and financials, with workflows for approval and audit trails for compliance.
