MDC Process Flow
SAP MDC enables you to consolidate master data using a configurable sequence of process steps. You can use MDC as a standalone application or combined with SAP MDG central governance.
Standardization
Normalize and enrich source master data prior to matching. Key/value mapping supported.
Matching
Check data from source systems and the active area for duplicates. Records grouped into match groups for review.
Best Record Calculation
Calculate the cumulative best record for each match group based on configurable rules and data quality scoring.
Mass Processing
Process large volumes using the same foundation as MDG consolidation — with packaging, queuing, and parallelization for performance.
Key Capabilities
Multi-System Consolidation
Merge master data from multiple SAP and non-SAP source systems into a single, clean, governed repository.
Intelligent Matching & Deduplication
Configurable matching algorithms identify duplicates across systems. Match review enables human verification of uncertain matches.
Cross-System Harmonization
Standardize data formats, naming conventions, hierarchies, and organizational structures across all source systems.
Validation & Enrichment
Enrich consolidated records with missing attributes. Validate completeness and accuracy against business rules before activation.
