• Key Concepts: 
  Validation Rules are a feature of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) that allow users to define rules for data entry and ensure that only valid data is entered into the system. Validation Rules are used to check the accuracy of data entered into the system and can be used to prevent incorrect data from being saved. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Validation Rules can be created in the MDG system by defining a set of criteria that must be met for a particular field or set of fields. Once the criteria is defined, the system will automatically check any data entered against the criteria and reject any entries that do not meet the criteria. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating Validation Rules, it is important to consider how they will affect user experience. If the rules are too restrictive, users may find it difficult to enter valid data, while if they are too lenient, incorrect data may be accepted. It is also important to consider how often the rules need to be updated as business requirements change.
