Unintentional duplicates in the material master cause various inefficiencies in the management of spare parts. Duplicate warehousing and duplicate orders lead to increased storage and ordering costs, waste storage space, and cause intransparency between plants, departments, and storage locations. However, especially in times of shortages and long delivery times, this transparency and cost efficiency is elementary.

This blog entry is intended to give you an insight into a concrete practical example of how to detect duplicates using the SPARETECH app in your own material master and how the corresponding downstream process is designed for our customer.
