• Key Concepts: 
  Import Validation Rules are a feature of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) that allow users to define rules for validating data imported into the system. These rules can be used to ensure that the data imported is accurate and consistent with the existing data in the system. The rules can be used to check for errors, such as incorrect data types, missing values, or incorrect values.
  
  How to use it: 
  Import Validation Rules can be created in the MDG system by selecting the “Create Validation Rule” option from the main menu. This will open a window where users can define the parameters of the rule, such as which fields should be checked and what type of validation should be performed. Once the rule is created, it can be applied to any import process by selecting it from the list of available rules.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating Import Validation Rules, it is important to consider how they will interact with other rules in the system. For example, if two rules are checking for different types of errors, they may conflict with each other and cause unexpected results. It is also important to consider how often the rule should be applied and whether it should be applied to all imports or only certain ones.
