• Key Concepts: 
  Import Validation Rules for Products is a feature of SAP Master Data Governance (CA-MDG) that allows users to define rules for validating product data during import. These rules can be used to ensure that the imported data meets certain criteria, such as data type, length, and format. The rules can also be used to check for duplicate entries and to ensure that the imported data is consistent with existing master data.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Import Validation Rules for Products, users must first define the rules they want to use. This can be done in the CA-MDG Master Data Governance application. Once the rules have been defined, they can be applied to any product import process. The validation rules will then be used to check the imported data against the defined criteria and reject any data that does not meet the criteria.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining validation rules for product imports, it is important to consider the type of data being imported and the format of the data. For example, if the imported data is numeric, then a rule should be defined to check that only numeric values are accepted. Additionally, if the imported data is in a specific format (e.g., CSV or XML), then a rule should be defined to check that only valid formats are accepted.
