The Problem

Uncontrolled master data jeopardises your SAP processes

In your SAP system, master data is often:

  • Created decentrally
  • Changed without clear roles
  • Manually reconciled
  • Checked too late

This directly leads to:

  • Inconsistencies in central SAP modules such as FI, SD and MM
  • Delays in subsequent processes
  • Increased coordination effort between business departments and IT
  • Audit and compliance risks
  • Problems with S/4HANA migrations

Uncontrolled master data jeopardises your process stability – in day-to-day business and in projects.

The Solution

SAP data governance with clear workflows and controlled approvals

Marlin Data Governance controls the creation, extension and modification of business partner, customer and vendor master data entirely within your SAP system – consistently, rule-based and audit-proof.

Each request is processed via a defined governance workflow:

  • Application and processing in the staging area
  • Integrated quality checks during maintenance
  • Role-based approval with clear responsibilities and SLAs
  • Documented, controlled transfer to the productive master record

Simple cases are processed automatically. Critical changes are checked specifically.

The system is used in the familiar SAP environment via SAP GUI or Fiori. No additional training is required.

All steps are transparently traceable and centrally documented, including status, history, and roles involved.

Frequently asked questions about the data governance process

The solution particularly supports the governance of business partner, customer and vendor master data. Processes for new creation, modification and expansion can be controlled within SAP on a rule-based basis.

Marlin Data Governance is designed for SAP ECC6, SAP S/4HANA and SAP RISE. It is used directly in the existing SAP environment – without external parallel processes.

Data quality checks such as address validation, duplicate checks and data enrichment are already in place during processing. In addition, checks such as VAT ID, sanctions, PEP and credit checks can be integrated.

The entire process is documented transparently and audit-proof in a central document – including roles, statuses, notes, documents and change histories.

No. Marlin Data Governance is installed as an SAP add-on and configured exclusively via customising. This ensures that implementation remains efficient and easy to plan.

Implementation is carried out in accordance with best practice processes and usually takes a few months. Shortly after delivery, the project team can test the solution in their own SAP test system.
