SAP MDG Data Quality Management
Smart Control of Data Quality
High-quality master data is essential for efficient processes and smart decision-making. SAP MDG Data Quality Management (DQM) offers a powerful framework to define, monitor, and improve data quality—supporting both operational excellence and long-term governance. In this blog post, we take a closer look at the key capabilities of SAP DQM, including its integration into governance processes, practical use cases, and intelligent features like rule mining.
What is SAP DQM?
SAP Data Quality Management (DQM) is a powerful feature within SAP Master Data Governance (MDG). It supports companies in defining, managing, and monitoring data quality rules to systematically analyze and improve master data.
A key advantage: Once defined, these rules can be used not only for analysis but also directly in MDG governance processes and in Master Data Consolidation (MDC) for migration scenarios.
Note: To use SAP DQM, we recommend SAP S/4HANA version 1909 FPS2 or higher. SAP MDG must also be activated in your system.
Use Case: Making Data Quality Measurable
Companies at the beginning of their master data strategy particularly benefit from SAP DQM. It enables an entry into data-driven quality management without directly interfering with existing processes.
Key Benefits:
– Define and validate data quality rules
– Analyze and visualize data quality
– Derive improvement measures effectively
– Reuse rules for migration and governance processes later on
Correcting Data Directly from the Analysis
After evaluating data quality using SAP DQM, incorrect master data can be corrected directly from the analysis view. This accelerates correction processes and ensures long-term consistency of data—regardless of department or platform.
Rule Mining: Machine Learning Detects Patterns
A special feature of SAP MDG DQM is rule mining. This function uses artificial intelligence (machine learning) to propose new data quality rules based on existing master data. These suggestions can be easily accepted and incorporated into the existing rule set.
SAP MDG DQM as a Foundation for Professional Data Quality Management
SAP MDG Data Quality Management is not just an analysis tool but a strategic instrument for companies seeking to improve their data quality sustainably—without disrupting operational processes.
