• Material Group Auditing: Detect incorrect/misclassified Material Groups and reassign items to correct standard commodity groups.
• Stock & MRO Maintenance: Create and maintain records for Stock, Non-Stock, bulk consumables, and operational MRO spares, populating HSN codes, material types, company codes, and purchasing groups.

B. Data Cleansing, Technical Value Standardization & Quality Control

• Multi-Level Enrichment: Execute Level 1, 2, and 3 enrichment using vendor catalogues, GA/sectional drawings, operation manuals, data sheets, and verified online sources.
• Attribute Consistency: Perform technical value standardization across all catalogue attribute values (both legacy and new inputs) to maintain structured consistency.
• Quality Control & Duplication: Use QC tools to identify missing mandatory attributes, validate completeness/accuracy, and eliminate duplicate material codes.
• Vendor & Part Normalization: Standardize and normalize OEM/OPM names, model numbers, serial numbers, and ordering codes to eliminate purchasing errors.

C. Equipment Master, Maintenance Data & Asset Hierarchy

• Drawing & Tag Extraction: Review engineering drawingsincluding P&ID, PEFS, PFA, UEFS, UFS, SLD, General Arrangement (GA), and Cross-Sectional Drawingsto extract equipment tag specifications.
• Plant Maintenance (PM) Attributes: Assign critical PM master fields to equipment tags: Functional Location, Equipment Category, Object Type, Inventory Number, Maintenance Plant, ABC Indicator, Technical Identifier, Installation Position, Planner Group, Main Work Center, and Catalog Profile.
• Equipment BOM Creation: Build Equipment Bill of Materials (BOM) from Vendor Recommended Spare Parts Lists (RSPL) and sectional drawings, directly linking material numbers to equipment master tags.
• SPIR Compilation: Extract spares from sectional drawings and BOMs to create and review Spare Parts Interchangeability Records (SPIR).
• Maintenance Planning Support: Assist in preparing task lists and maintenance plans linked to equipment tags.

D. Hands-on SAP Execution (T-Codes)

• Material Master Operations: MM01 (Create), MM02 (Change), MM03 (Display), MM17 / MASS (Mass Maintenance).
• Inventory & Stock Analysis: Review real-time plant and storage location stock using MMBE (Stock Overview), MB52 (Warehouse Stocks), and MB51 (Material Documents).
• BOM & Plant Maintenance: View and maintain equipment BOMs and linkages using CS01, CS02, CS03, and support master data integration across Plant Maintenance (PM) and Procure-to-Pay (P2P).

E. Reporting, KPIs & Client Deliverables

• KPI & SLA Formulation: Formulate, monitor, and report monthly operational KPI and SLA performance metrics for master data accuracy and turnaround times.
• Client Status Reporting: Prepare and submit weekly and monthly project material registration reports directly to client stakeholders.
