Many companies have established master data organizations whose main goal is to define the business process to create, modify or monitor master data. Winshuttle software is an essential part of any SAP data governance and master data management toolset. Common SAP objects whose creation and modification are automated by Master Data Management teams using transactionSHUTTLE include:
Material master creation (goods, raw materials, or procured materials) All views and also for extending materials to different plants and sales organizations (MM01/MM02)
Article masters for retail and apparel industry solutions (MM41/MM42)
Bill of materials, including variant configuration (CS01/CS02)
Material master & BOMs changes -- Characteristics, MRP controller, pricing, components, storage location, etc. (MM02, CS02)
New customer and vendor creation (XK01 and XD01)
Customer master changes - credit terms, block/unblock status, address, sales hierarchy, partner functions (XD02)
Vendor master changes - tax id, payment terms, etc. (XK02)
It is important to note that in addition to being used to extract current master data fields that need to be changed, Winshuttle's querySHUTTLE software can be used to monitor master data quality by giving the master data teams easy access to download relevant data and apply key master data quality metrics.
