What is SAP customer master data?
Customer master data is a comprehensive set of data containing the essential information that your business needs on your customers in order to support your operations, marketing, customer service activities, and more.
Why is SAP customer master data important?
Data in the customer master provides essential details about your customers, including:
- names
- addresses
- phone numbers and/or email addresses
- billing, shipping, and payment conditions
- tax information
These may seem straightforward enough, but one small mistake can create major implications for your business. This data within your SAP ecosystem is the foundation for accuracy and success in nearly every customer-facing and operational activity.
And yet, despite the value of customer master data, managing it effectively presents its own challenges – with factors like manual error-prone processes diminishing its accuracy and trustworthiness.
