• Key Concepts: 
  Qualifier is a term used in SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (MDM) to refer to a set of attributes that are used to identify and differentiate data records. Qualifiers are used to define the type of data stored in a record, such as customer, product, or supplier. They can also be used to define the scope of the data, such as global or regional. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Qualifiers are used in SAP MDM to identify and differentiate data records. When creating a new record, the user must select the appropriate qualifier from a list of available qualifiers. This will determine which attributes are associated with the record and how it is stored in the system. The user can also use qualifiers to filter and search for specific records. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a new record, it is important to select the correct qualifier so that the data is stored correctly and can be easily retrieved later. It is also important to ensure that all records have unique identifiers so that they can be easily identified and differentiated from other records.
