Why SAP Data Matching Drive Business Efficiency with Advanced SAP Data Matching and Cleansing

SAP Data Matching at Scale

Our platform matches billions of records across SAP systems in minutes, consolidating duplicate data and aligning information from different sources. Whether you’re dealing with business partner data, inventory records, or customer profiles, our solution ensures clean, accurate, and reliable data.

Streamline SAP S/4HANA Migration

Migrating to SAP S/4HANA requires clean, deduplicated data. Our data matching solution reduces the time spent on business partner consolidation by 75%, ensuring a faster, smoother transition to SAP S/4HANA.

Data Compliance and Governance

Ensuring GDPR, CCPA, and other regulatory compliance requires high-quality, consolidated data. Our solution helps you identify and merge individual records across different systems, reducing compliance risks and ensuring accurate reporting.

Enhance Customer Experience in SAP

By consolidating duplicate customer records, we create a unified, 360-degree customer view within SAP. This helps you deliver personalized, consistent experiences across touchpoints and improve overall customer satisfaction.

Advanced Analytics within SAP

Leverage advanced analytics to enhance data quality and consistency through optimized SAP data matching processes. This enables faster, more accurate decision-making and reduces operational costs by streamlining inventory management and resource allocation.

Deep Data Profiling & Identification of Duplicates

SAP data matching starts with comprehensive profiling. We scan critical SAP objects (e.g., KNA1 for customer data, LFA1 for vendor data, and MARA for material master) to pinpoint discrepancies, duplicates, and patterns in redundant data. Our tools dive into structured and semi-structured data to ensure no inconsistencies go unnoticed.

  • Profile data across multiple SAP tables (like KNVV for sales data and MARC for plant-specific material data) to assess duplication and data health.
  • Identify duplicate entries across Business Partners (BP) and Materials in the SAP system using key identifiers like VAT, Tax ID, and customer number.

Advanced SAP Data Matching Algorithms

The core of SAP data matching is ensuring your records across different modules—whether it’s MM, SD, or FI—are correctly aligned. We use a combination of rule-based matching and machine learning algorithms to identify exact, fuzzy, and near-duplicate matches across key master data objects.

  • Utilize match algorithms tuned specifically for SAP’s table structure (e.g., using partner functions in KNVP for customer roles or plant location data in MARC).
  • Handle complex matching of hierarchical relationships (e.g., linking customer records from KNA1 with corresponding transactional data in VBAK for sales orders).
  • Apply fuzzy logic to handle variations in name fields, address fields, and unstructured comments, ensuring high match accuracy even in free-text fields.

NLP-Powered Data Matching for SAP Unstructured Data

Many SAP environments contain unstructured data embedded in fields like long texts, free-text notes, and descriptions. Our solution goes beyond structured data matching to handle these unstructured data challenges using Natural Language Processing (NLP). We parse and process this data for a deeper level of matching precision.

  • Leverage NLP to standardize and match unstructured customer or vendor descriptions, address fields, and product details.
  • Set up SAP Information Steward or Data Quality Management (DQM) reports that integrate directly into your SAP environment, delivering continuous data quality insights.

Continuous Data Quality Monitoring & Real-Time Deduplication

Even after an initial round of data matching, ongoing monitoring is key to maintaining data accuracy. In a live SAP system, new records are constantly created, and without proper oversight, duplicates can reappear. We offer real-time monitoring and deduplication that automatically detects and merges duplicates as they enter the system.

  • Implement real-time deduplication processes, monitoring key tables like KNA1, LFA1, and MARA to flag potential duplicates instantly upon data entry.
  • Identify duplicate entries across Business Partners (BP) and Materials in the SAP system using key identifiers like VAT, Tax
    ID, and customer number.
