Lesson 1Material master templates and mass maintenance tools (LSMW, MASS, MDG basics) for efficient rollout of pump componentsThis lesson covers making standard material master patterns for pump parts and using SAP tools for big updates to speed up sharing, cut mistakes, and ensure good data rules across factories and engineering spots in our region.
