  • Key Concepts: Ad-hoc refinement is a feature of SAP Master Data Services (EIM-MDS) that allows users to quickly and easily refine their data sets. It enables users to filter, sort, and group data in order to gain insights into their data. Ad-hoc refinement also allows users to create custom views of their data, allowing them to focus on specific areas of interest.
    How to use it: Ad-hoc refinement can be used in SAP Master Data Services (EIM-MDS) by selecting the “Refine” option from the main menu. This will open a window where users can select the fields they want to refine, as well as the criteria they want to use for filtering and sorting. Once the criteria have been set, users can then apply the refinement and view the results.
    Tips & Tricks: When using ad-hoc refinement, it is important to remember that the results will only be as accurate as the criteria used. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the criteria used are appropriate for the task at hand. Additionally, it is important to remember that ad-hoc refinement can be used in combination with other features of SAP Master Data Services (EIM-MDS), such as data cleansing and enrichment, in order to gain even more insights into your data.
