• Key Concepts: 
  The Best Records Table (BRT) is a feature of SAP Master Data Services (EIM-MDS) that allows users to identify and select the best records from a set of similar records. The BRT compares the records based on user-defined criteria and selects the record with the highest score. This helps to ensure that only the most accurate and up-to-date records are used in downstream processes.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the Best Records Table, users must first define the criteria for selecting the best record. This can include attributes such as accuracy, completeness, currency, and relevance. Once the criteria have been defined, users can then run the BRT to compare the records and select the best one. The selected record can then be used in downstream processes.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining criteria for selecting the best record, it is important to consider all relevant factors. For example, accuracy may be more important than currency for some processes, while currency may be more important than accuracy for others. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all criteria are weighted appropriately so that no single factor has too much influence on the selection process.
