  Merging is a process in SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (MDM) that allows users to combine two or more records into one. This process is used to ensure that all data is up-to-date and accurate. Merging can be used to combine records with similar information, such as customer records, or to combine records with different information, such as product records. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the merging process in SAP NetWeaver MDM, users must first select the records they wish to merge. Once the records have been selected, users can then choose which fields they wish to keep and which fields they wish to discard. After the fields have been chosen, users can then click the “Merge” button to complete the process.
