• Key Concepts: 
  A validation rule is a feature of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) that allows users to define rules for validating data before it is saved in the system. Validation rules are used to ensure that data entered into the system meets certain criteria, such as being within a certain range or having a specific format. The validation rules can be set up to check for errors and alert users when they enter invalid data.
  
  How to use it: 
  Validation rules can be set up in the MDG system by creating a rule set and then adding individual validation rules. Each rule can be configured with different parameters, such as the type of data to be validated, the range of values allowed, and the format of the data. Once the rule is created, it can be applied to any field in the system that requires validation.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up validation rules, it is important to consider how they will affect user experience. For example, if a rule requires a specific format for data entry, it should be clearly communicated to users so they know what is expected of them. Additionally, it is important to consider how often the rules need to be updated and if they should be applied globally or only in certain areas of the system.
