Coristo SAP Material Master Management

The maintenance of the material master in SAP is a special challenge in every company. Since correct material master data is the basis for correct business processes, this master data is also particularly critical. Incorrect or incomplete material master data leads to high efficiency losses, as processes can be executed incorrectly and subsequent corrective measures are necessary, which results in time and cost losses.

In order to avoid problems in the master data, central master data teams are often used for maintenance. These teams must ensure that the right information is provided by the relevant departments at the right time. The information is often only communicated via uncontrolled processes, such as e-mails, and without explicit inquiries in the specialist departments, it can happen that corresponding data is not delivered or is delivered too late. This can result in the entire process suddenly stopping because data is missing or incorrect, because there is always an acute need for action, which in addition to the resulting loss of time also increases the risk of errors.

The software solution Coristo SAP Material Master Management (Coristo MMM) allows role-based display, creation and maintenance of material masters in SAP to ensure the protection and provision of correct material master data throughout the entire life cycle of a material master.

The software

Effective and efficient SAP material master management

In contrast to the SAP standard, where the user is often confronted with a large number of fields according to the material master view concept, the Coristo SAP Material Master Management (Coristo MMM) software solution allows you to design a material master maintenance process according to the needs of the individual departments.

In doing so, each user only gets exactly the material master data that is relevant for him/her to view or maintain. For different roles, such as sales, scheduling or quality assurance, different fields can be defined as required fields, so that it is not necessary to assign default values to required fields from other areas of responsibility, as is often the case with SAP standard maintenance. Coristo MMM also supports the checking of fields in the material master and also the automatic setting of material master fields depending on other fields in the material master. This allows the software solution to be flexibly extended to map a complex set of rules when creating and maintaining material master data. If required, several plants and sales organizations can be created with a single click and filled with predefined values, so that detailed maintenance and completion of the data can then be carried out more easily in the relevant departments.

To ensure that the entire SAP material master maintenance process runs smoothly and that each department is informed about its tasks at the right time, we also offer workflow-based process support with the Advanced Process Management solution.
