01 Principles

Master data controls order matching, barcode scanning, inventory location, and billing ownership. Before creation or change, confirm uniqueness, completeness, ownership, and effective date.

02 Required Information

Object	Key Fields
Customer	Code, name, billing rules, warehouse scope, and status.
Product	Internal SKU, customer SKU, description, barcode, UOM, dimensions, and weight.
Lot	Lot, production or expiration date, and serial requirements.
Location	Warehouse, zone, rack, type, capacity, and status.
Packaging	Unit, inner case, master carton, and pallet conversion.

03 Change Control

Do not reuse a SKU or barcode for another product. Deactivate master data with transaction history instead of deleting it. Revalidate freight, packing, and inventory UOM after dimension, weight, or pack changes.

04 Go-live Check

Audit duplicate SKUs, missing barcodes, abnormal dimensions, invalid locations, customer ownership, and UOM conversions. Run one sample through receiving, movement, picking, and shipment.
