Govern Vendor & Material Data with Confidence

Eliminate duplicates, ensure compliance, and maintain clean master records with automated governance workflows.

The Data Governance Challenge

The Data Governance Challenge

  • Master data frequently becomes inconsistent: vendor names, material descriptions, UOMs and categories differ across departments.

  • Updates to vendor or material records happen ad hoc—bank, tax, address changes slip through, resulting in compliance risk and payment errors.

  • Duplicate or redundant vendor/material entries clutter ERP, complicate reporting, and waste procurement capacity.

  • Auditors demand traceability: who changed which field, when, why—but many systems lack that visibility, leaving governance weak.

Our Solution – Vendor & Material Master Data Governance Workflows

Standardized Data Model & Templates

Define a uniform set of required fields and data formats for all vendor and material master records.

Change Request & Approval Process

All updates (vendor bank, tax, contact data; material attributes) are submitted via a workflow, with role-based approvals before they go live.

Duplicate Detection & Matching

Use smart matching (on name, tax ID, LTU, vendor code) to flag duplicates before creation or change.

Data Validation & Compliance Rules

Automate checks on critical attributes—tax ID format, bank account integrity, GST/VAT compliance, product classification (HS codes) for materials.

Audit Logging & Version History

Store every change with metadata: who requested it, when, what fields changed, what was approved, and links to source documents.

Data Steward Dashboard

Central oversight for data stewards to monitor older records, missing fields, records with high change frequency, or flagged by rule violations.

Key Benefits

Benefits for Finance & Business

  • Reduced Errors & Discrepancies: Clean up inconsistent vendor names, material units, classification, improving downstream processes (invoicing, procurement, reporting).

  • Enhanced Regulatory Compliance: All tax, banking, quality classification, and material safety attributes validated before use to avoid legal or financial penalties.

  • Operational Efficiency: Less time spent hunting down bad data or fixing failed transactions; more time for procurement strategy.

  • Improved Decision-Making & Reporting: Accurate master data means reliable reports, better supplier scoring, precise cost accounting.

  • Stronger Controls & Auditability: You’ll have full traceability of who changed what, when — invaluable for audits, risk assessments, and control frameworks.

Automation Capabilities / Technical Blueprint

Vendor & Material Templates with Field Validations

Use forms (web-portal or internal tool) with required fields, format constraints (e.g. regex for tax IDs), picklists for classifications.

Duplicate Detection Engine

Fuzzy matching algorithm (Levenshtein, Jaro-Winkler) on key fields; flag threshold above which manual review is required.

Document Capture & Verification

Use OCR/IDP for uploading proof documents (bank statements, tax certificates). Validate via external APIs (tax authority, bank verification services).

Workflow Automation Engine

Tools like workflow modules or RPA bots to route change requests, send notifications, collect approvals.

ERP Sync Modules

Use APIs/BAPIs/RFCs (depending on your ERP) to push new or updated master records once approved.

Governance Dashboard & Alerts

Track metrics like records with missing mandatory fields, pending change requests, frequency of changes, duplicate counts; send alerts for overdue or risky items.
