The prerequisite for ERP data integrity is to start with correct and complete migrated data from the replaced legacy systems to the ERP database. The ERP modules should be properly configured and integrated for reliable automated postings. ERP data processing needs to be performed in real time. The daily monitoring of ERP data updates enables the prompt resolution of any detected issue. The business process participants across functional departments can be motivated to report any potential ERP data error for investigation and any required correction by the authorized employees. These initiatives contribute to accurate and timely reporting.

Start by identifying gaps in data sources and assessing their impact on reporting. Clean and standardize existing data to improve consistency and accuracy. Implement data validation rules and workflows to minimize errors during entry. Where possible, enrich reports by integrating supplemental data from reliable external or internal sources. Collaborate with stakeholders to prioritize essential metrics and adjust reporting expectations. Regularly audit and update data repositories to ensure they remain current. Finally, use analytics tools to highlight trends and discrepancies, enabling informed decision-making despite data limitations.
