The Challenge

Improving Customer Data for Royalty Processing

Royalty calculations relied on customer master data and accurate sales channel classification. Managing this information manually made it difficult to maintain consistent customer records, identify changes, and provide external systems with the latest data required for royalty reporting.

Manual Customer Data Updates

Customer information had to be prepared manually before being shared with the external royalty management system, increasing administrative effort.

Inconsistent Sales Channel Classification

Customer sales channels were not maintained as a standard SAP field, making it difficult to apply consistent business rules for royalty calculations.

Large Data Volumes

Sending complete customer data during every update increased processing time and unnecessary data movement between systems.

Limited Data Synchronization

Without an automated integration process, keeping customer master data aligned across SAP and external applications became increasingly difficult.
