• Key Concepts: 
  A master record in SAP Data Services is a single source of data that is used to create a consistent set of data across multiple systems. It is used to ensure that all data is consistent and up-to-date. The master record is the authoritative source of data and any changes made to it are propagated to all other systems. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The master record can be used to create a single source of truth for data across multiple systems. This allows for easier maintenance and consistency of data. To use the master record, you must first define the fields that will be used in the master record. Then, you must define the rules for how the data will be propagated from the master record to other systems. Finally, you must configure the system to use the master record. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a master record, it is important to consider how often the data will need to be updated and how quickly changes need to be propagated. This will help determine which fields should be included in the master record and which rules should be used for propagating changes. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all systems are configured correctly so that changes are properly propagated from the master record.
