Prosol for SAP material master governance.
Prosol for SAP helps teams stop duplicate material codes, incomplete descriptions, weak classification, and approval gaps before they reach SAP material master workflows.
Even strong SAP programs struggle when master data enters uncontrolled.
SAP cannot create reliable procurement, inventory, maintenance, and reporting outcomes if the incoming material master data is duplicated, incomplete, poorly classified, or approved outside a governed workflow.
Duplicate material codes
Repeated item creation, naming variations, supplier reference mismatch, and part number inconsistency create ghost stock and unreliable SAP search results.
Incomplete SAP load fields
Missing descriptions, UOMs, material groups, classification attributes, manufacturer references, and plant-specific values delay SAP readiness.
No approval control
When material creation lacks ownership, maker-checker review, and audit trails, SAP becomes the place where errors are discovered too late.
Control material master data before SAP has to live with it.
Prosol embeds governance at the source of material creation so SAP receives cleaner, standardized, classified, and approved records.
Standardize descriptions
Apply naming standards, noun-modifier structure, technical attributes, and catalogue logic before records move into SAP.
Prevent duplicates
Check existing material masters and reference data before new item creation creates duplicate SAP material codes.
Govern approval workflows
Route material requests through validation, enrichment, review, approval, rejection, and audit-ready status tracking.
Support SAP migration
Prepare legacy data for SAP S/4HANA, SAP ECC clean-up, plant rollouts, or consolidation projects with governed readiness checks.
Improve searchability
Create searchable material records that help procurement, stores, maintenance, and reliability teams find the right item faster.
Maintain data quality
Stop data decay after go-live with ongoing ownership, validation rules, duplicate control, and workflow visibility.
SAP material master readiness score
Estimate how ready your material master process is for SAP governance and integration.
54 Medium readinessHow well do you prevent duplicate item creation before SAP material codes are generated?
Are descriptions, UOMs, manufacturer data, material groups, and plant-specific values complete?
Are taxonomy, UNSPSC, ECLASS, ISO standards, or internal cataloguing rules applied consistently?
Can you prove who reviewed, enriched, approved, rejected, or changed a material master request?
Medium readiness: improve governance before SAP scaling.
Prosol can help standardize master data creation, reduce duplicates, complete mandatory attributes, and create an audit-ready workflow before records reach SAP.

Use this simple estimator to discuss the potential value of preventing duplicate material codes before they enter SAP.
This is not a guaranteed saving. It is a directional estimate to frame SAP master data governance discussions.
A practical route from SAP data issues to governed material master creation.
Assess
Profile existing SAP, legacy ERP, plant, inventory, and MRO material data for duplicates, gaps, and standards.
Standardize
Apply description rules, classification, UOM normalization, and catalogue standards for material master readiness.
Govern
Use Prosol workflow to validate, enrich, approve, reject, and audit material master requests before SAP posting.
Integrate
Move clean and approved master data into SAP workflows with clear ownership, status, and readiness evidence.

Real outcomes from CODASOL master data work.
Case study: LNG plant material availability improvement
A leading LNG producer faced fragmented master data, inconsistent material records, duplicate stock, delayed maintenance, and legacy documentation spread across multiple systems. CODASOL used PROSOL to cleanse, standardize, enrich, and govern the plant’s material master data.
“Thanks to the unwavering commitment and hard work of CODA, we now have a seamless integration process that paves the way for improved data management across our organization. The smooth rollout has already started delivering positive impacts on our operations, and we are excited about the possibilities it brings.”
