The Material Master Data team within Astellas is facing a major challenge. With the implementation of a new Global SAP-S/4HANA environment the role of the EMEA Material Master Data Team is moving from a Regional to a Global role. With big historical regional differences in procedures, aligning data is not always easy. Good documentation will support a better understanding of Master Data Governance and Master Data Management.
In my role as Document Writer I’m using my experience in Master Data Management to challenge the organization to think about their processes before start writing a document.
