Client challenge

Material master data was fragmented across SAP and non-SAP source systems. Inconsistent descriptions, duplicate records, incomplete attributes, and classification gaps made materials difficult to identify and reuse across procurement, inventory, and maintenance.

Material master data dictionary

CloudRay developed a reusable data dictionary covering required fields, naming conventions, approved nouns and modifiers, attribute values, units of measure, and validation rules to support consistent material creation and maintenance.

UNSPSC classification and description enrichment

Internal material groups were mapped to the UNSPSC taxonomy. Short and long descriptions were standardized using a noun-modifier-attribute structure, with manufacturer and supplier references to improve material searchability and classification.

Data cleansing and duplicate identification

The team compared descriptions, specifications, manufacturer part numbers, supplier references, and units of measure to identify duplicate and near-duplicate records. Cleansing addressed inconsistent abbreviations, missing attributes, obsolete records, and classification exceptions.

SAP migration and validation

CloudRay supported extraction, transformation, validation, and SAP loading, including SAP ECC integration activities using SAP BODS and LSMW. Work included load-error correction, source-to-target reconciliation, delta loads, and post-implementation hypercare.

Value delivered

The engagement established a standardized, searchable material master foundation. The supplied case study describes reduced duplicate materials, improved classification for spend analysis, cleaner SAP records, and reusable governance rules supporting procurement and inventory decisions.
