Artificial Intelligence Field Rules
USE CASE SiDM Materials
In standard SAP, field configuration in the material master is mainly limited to the definition of required, optional or suppressed fields per material type and plant. This does not allow the application of logical or conditional rules (e.g. “if the material type is X, then field Y must have a value Z”), nor advanced validations without technical development.
As a result, companies face recurring data quality problems, such as materials with incorrect units, valuation categories that affect financial reporting, materials without batch traceability. Validating or defining rules often requires ABAP developments that are not scalable, easy to modify or fast.
These rules are usually in the memory of one or two users or in an outdated pdf since the original implementation.
SiDM Materials allows you to define unlimited field rules, 100% functional, that do not require any technical or programming knowledge, and that allow you to guarantee the correct value in each field as soon as the material is created.
And now, with our Databricks integration, by applying Artificial Intelligence to the system’s historical data, it is possible to automatically predict, through machine learning algorithms, the correct value for most of the fields that follow a pattern of behavior adjusted to the needs of the business.
Do you identify with any of these cases?
- How can I automatically derive certain values (such as purchasing group by material type)?
- How can I ensure the value of a field without the need for ABAP developments or extensions?
- Is there any way to apply validation rules to materials already created in the system?
- How do I ensure that raw materials from a specific group are always subject to batching?
How do I ensure that each material has the correct rating category?
How can I identify which materials are non-compliant with data quality rules without creating custom reports?
How to use validations that are easy to maintain or update, without ABAP programming?
Solution
SiDM Field Rules Materials with Artificial Intelligence
SiDM Materials rules allow:
- Automatic filling of fields
- Validation in case of errors, from creation.
- Identification of errors and their correction in existing materials.
