Background information
Consolidation in SAP MDG provides an understanding of enterprise master data that is owned and
maintained de-centrally. SAP MDG, consolidation delivers capabilities to load master data from various
sources, to standardize the master data, and to detect duplicates. For each of the resulting match groups,
MDG calculates a best record out of the duplicates in that group, using survivorship rules on the master data
attributes. These best records can then be used in dedicated analytical or business scenarios.
Demo Script
Preparation
A consolidation process using the same data can be run once. After that the data has been changed and the
result will be different (due to matching and key mapping changes). To allow you to run this demo several
times, we provide you a report to delete and create the necessary master data. In addition, an example file
can be used to load data into the system. You can download this example excel file using the following URL:
