Lesson 1Material master templates and mass maintenance tools (LSMW, MASS, MDG basics) for efficient rollout of pump componentsThis lesson covers making standard material master templates for pump parts and using SAP tools for mass updates to speed up deployment, cut down mistakes, and ensure good data control across factories and engineering sites.
