How can changes made to master data in MDG be tracked?

Tracking changes made to master data in SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) is essential for maintaining data integrity and ensuring accountability. The most effective way to achieve this is through an audit log that captures all modifications. This audit log records each change, including who made the change, what was changed, and when the change occurred. This detailed documentation is invaluable for auditing purposes and helps organizations comply with regulatory requirements.

While user notifications sent via email can inform stakeholders about changes, they do not provide a comprehensive record of all modifications. Reviewing periodic summaries may provide an overview of changes but lacks the granularity needed for thorough tracking. Consulting external data management systems may provide additional context or data, but it does not directly address how changes within MDG itself are tracked. Thus, the audit log is the most reliable and systematic method for ensuring all modifications to master data are documented and can be reviewed when necessary.
