Master data governance
NIDUS
Every material, vendor and customer record requested, checked, approved and created in SAP the same way.

NIDUS puts one governed workflow in front of your ERP. Requesters fill templates instead of free text, duplicates are caught before they are created, approvers see a clear queue with SLAs, and approved records go straight into SAP — with a full audit trail.
Most master data problems start at the request: a free-text description, a vendor added twice under two spellings, a customer created without its tax details. NIDUS fixes this where it starts. Each record type has its own form, built from your own templates and value lists, and its own approval route.
When a request is approved and released, NIDUS creates the record in SAP and sends the number back. Vendors and customers can register themselves through a portal, so their GST, PAN and bank details are verified before your team ever sees the request.
What it does
Templates instead of free text
Noun-modifier templates with attributes and value lists build a consistent short and long description for every material and service.
Duplicates stopped at the door
Exact and likely duplicates are flagged while the request is being filled in — for materials by description and attributes, for vendors and customers by GST and PAN.
Approval routes you define
Approve and release steps per record type, plant or company code, with SLA timers, reminders, escalation and out-of-office delegation.
Straight into SAP
Released records are created in SAP automatically and the SAP number comes back to the request. Integration with other ERPs through connectors.
Supplier and customer portals
Self-registration with GST, PAN and bank verification; suppliers see their purchase orders and payments, customers their invoices and statements.
Audit trail and reports
Who asked for what, who approved it and when, kept for every record. Turnaround, SLA and data-quality dashboards for MIS reviews.

Questions
Does NIDUS replace SAP MDG?
It covers the same ground — governed requests, approvals and creation in SAP — without needing an MDG licence or an S/4HANA hub. It works with ECC and S/4HANA.
Can it run on our own servers?
Yes. NIDUS runs as a hosted service or on your own infrastructure, with single sign-on and multi-factor authentication.
How long does it take to go live?
Most teams start with one record type, such as materials, and go live in weeks. Templates and value lists from your existing data are loaded as part of setup.
