Why SAP MDG?
SAP MDG is a market-leading solution that allows you to define, enforce, monitor, and improve master data across domains. It enables central or decentralized master data management in hybrid SAP and non-SAP landscapes.
Central Master Data Governance
Maintain Finance, Material/Article, Business Partner, Supplier/Vendor, and Customer master data from a single governed platform. Reduces total cost of ownership through effective global governance processes.
Enterprise Search & Duplicate Prevention
Automatic duplicate check at the point of creation prevents redundant records before they enter your system. Enterprise search finds existing records across all connected systems.
Full Audit Trail
Complete record of who changed what, when, and why. Every data modification is tracked and auditable — essential for SOX compliance and regulatory requirements.
BRF+ Workflows & Business Rules
Use SAP Business Rule Framework Plus (BRF+) for configurable workflow routing, approval chains, and business validations — without custom ABAP development.
SAP & Non-SAP Replication
Replicate governed master data to SAP ECC, S/4HANA, and non-SAP systems. Adopts underlying SAP configuration and uses existing SAP data structures.
Out-of-the-Box UI
Standard SAP user interfaces for all governance scenarios. With ADS, these are further simplified through table-driven field property controls.
