Effectively avoid duplicates in the material master

Our solution

Marlin Material Check (MMC) is a modular product solution integrated into SAP. MMC checks the SAP material master for duplicates in a multi-stage process. When creating and maintaining material master data, a check is carried out against the database and possible identical parts are identified. A separate monitoring system within SAP qualifies and processes potential material duplicates.

In addition to the material master data check in the creation and maintenance process, MMC also offers a check of the entire existing material master for duplicates. The results can be successively processed in duplicate groups.

The duplicate determination of the material master data can be individually parameterized via the product's own customizing. Matrix and index settings are used to optimize the check results with regard to your material master data. Over 60 fields from the material master are available. The characteristics from the classification can also be used for the duplicate check, as well as a thesaurus and a unit converter.

We offer you an error-tolerant search aid for your material master in a matter of seconds to avoid wasting time even before creating or maintaining new material master data. The table contents of the material master data (MARA), including basic data and long text, can be searched. Similar to web search engines, you can find existing master data in a cross-field search text field and thus efficiently prevent material duplicates.
