Business Situation

Client’s legacy data in SAP ECC wasn’t consistent and complete. There is no data governance process to maintain the master data (customers and vendors). Migration to SAP4/HANA is in the Client’s road map. Converting the existing customer and vendor data into a structure with Business Partner is one of the key prerequisites to move to SAP4/HANA. Each region (or territory) is following their own process to maintain the master data in SAP ECC, where there is no centralized control or process maintained company wide.
