- SAP Master Data Governance: Centralize and consolidate supplier master data.
- This demonstration shows how SAP software allows you to: add a supplier to master data,
- review supplier data change requests, approve change requests based on areas of responsibility, and verify master data changes
- Enabling you to ensure the validity of supplier master data, facilitate master data changes with approval workflows,
- and reduce costs associated with data management by streamlining maintenance processes.
- Add a supplier to master data.
- Tom Morgan is a master data administrator.
- Tom opens his SAP software to add Panorama Services to the company’s master data as a supplier.
- First he checks to see if the company is already listed as a supplier in the data.
- He finds a supplier based in Chicago, but it’s not the correct one, so he creates a change request to add a new supplier.
- He types in a description and enters the supplier’s address.
- He also specifies the company as a vendor and assigns a company code.
- These fields need to be completed so the supplier is recognized as a vendor in enterprise applications.
- Tom could now maintain payment, accounting, or correspondence data for this company code,
- but instead he focuses on the reconciliation account.
- He selects the purchasing organization.
- And he defines the currency and terms of payment before submitting the change request.
- The software confirms the creation of the change request and routes it to the appropriate master data specialist for approval.
- Review supplier data change requests.
- Pete Miller is a master data specialist, responsible for central supplier data.
- When Pete checks his worklist, he finds the change request from Tom, waiting to be approved.
- After he has specified all the objects, he checks and approves the change request.
- The request is now ready to be reviewed by the master data specialists responsible for approving changes to company-code data and purchasing-organization data.
- Approve change requests based on areas of responsibility.
- Sue Baker is a master data specialist responsible for reviewing company-code requests.
- Sue checks the worklist and finds items ready to be processed.
- Since she’s only responsible for company-code data, she’s not able to process purchasing-related requests.
- Sue selects the work item for the change request from the worklist.
- She adds payment terms then processes the change request.
- Steve Thomson is master data specialist responsible for reviewing purchasing-organization requests.
- Steve opens the change request so he can add purchasing-related data.
- He enters the order currency and the terms of payment before submitting the changes.
- Now that Sue and Steve have processed the change request, the software routes it for review by other master data specialists.
- The software enables duplicate review of change requests to ensure the validity of master data changes.
- Verify master data changes.
- Chris Boyle is also a master data specialist for purchasing data and is responsible for approving the processed change requests from his colleagues.
- From his worklist, Chris opens the work item to approve the new supplier purchasing data.
- He checks the purchasing data and approves the change request.
- Andrew Miller is a master data specialist for company code-related accounting data, and will also review the processed change requests.
- He finds the work item to approve the company-code data.
- He checks the accounting and payment data and approves it.
- Since the change requests have been approved, the software updates Tom’s worklist.
- He checks his requests and sees that the new supplier has been approved.
- On the organizational data tab, he finds the ID number for the supplier.
- He now checks whether the new supplier data is live in the company’s enterprise software.
- He searches and is able to find the supplier.
- He displays the vendor master data and verifies that the data for company code and the purchasing organization have been created correctly.
- Tom can now create a purchase order and start doing business with the new supplier.
- SAP Data Governance enables you to centralize and consolidate supplier master data to facilitate master data management and reduce associated costs.
