What customization is necessary to identify duplicates during change request processing in SAP Master Data Governance?

To effectively identify duplicates during change request processing in SAP Master Data Governance, selecting comparison-relevant fields is essential. These fields are the specific attributes of the master data that will be used during the duplicate check process. By determining which fields are relevant for comparison, the system can efficiently analyze new or modified entries against existing data, enhancing the accuracy of the duplicate detection process.

When the appropriate fields are selected, the system can evaluate whether the data being processed closely matches any existing master data records. This step is crucial in maintaining the integrity of the master data and ensuring that duplicates do not compromise data quality.

While assigning weights for comparison-relevant fields, defining parallel processing options, and setting up user roles for change request approval are important additional aspects of the MDG framework, they do not directly address the fundamental requirement for identifying duplicates. The effective identification of duplicates starts with the proper selection of the fields that hold the comparison value.
