Real-Time Master Data Synchronization Across Applications

Master data represents the primary and most essential data about business entities in a business system that provide context for all transactions among them, such as those between a business and their vendors or partners. Data about business partners, cost centers and workforce are all examples of master data.

Master data created in an application needs to be in synchronization with the other applications with which it is integrated with. Master data sync is the process through which every entity makes sure they have the latest version of master data concerning others and that everyone is using the same master data elements and the same information for each element.

Such synchronization of different master data objects between SAP systems and other applications enables seamless data exchange and helps ensure business processes run smoothly. However, the fact that different applications have different semantics and fields for creating master data pauses a challenge for such synchronization.

The RUNMYBOT? For SAP data model, however, has the flexibility to map master data in a business system with those in the other applications even though the semantics are different. Its principle of standardized fields and field attributes across applications (such as name, type and length) enables RUNMYBOT? For SAP to achieve easy and secure master data synchronization across applications.

Whenever you create or update master data, the business system informs RUMMYBOT? For SAP about this creation/update. If the event is processed successfully, all the other connected business applications will be informed about this change in real time. This gives you control over:

• Data distribution (wherever you want the update to be distributed)
• Assigning a primary data source (e.g., when you want a change in your S/4 HANA system to be applied wherever applicable)

Benefits of Real-Time Master Data Synchronization with RUNMYBOT? For SAP:

• Integration with applications to receive and update master data
• AI-based smart and efficient analysis and reporting of any discrepancies
• Strong integration model to enable easy and secure master data synchronization
• Real-time processing with accuracy
• Fast and easy implementation
