• Key Concepts: 
  The Default Survivorship Rule Configuration is a feature of SAP Master Data Services (EIM-MDS) that allows users to define a set of rules for determining which data should be used when multiple records contain the same information. This helps to ensure that the most accurate and up-to-date data is used in all applications.
  
  How to use it: 
  The Default Survivorship Rule Configuration can be accessed through the EIM-MDS interface. Once there, users can define the rules they want to use for determining which data should be used when multiple records contain the same information. The rules can be based on criteria such as date, source, or other factors. Once the rules are defined, they will be applied automatically whenever multiple records contain the same information.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up the Default Survivorship Rule Configuration, it is important to consider how often the data will be updated and how important accuracy is for your application. If accuracy is paramount, then it may be best to set up rules that prioritize more recent data over older data. On the other hand, if data is rarely updated, then it may be better to prioritize data from more reliable sources.
