To ensure seamless integration and compliance with SAP standards, data transformations are essential. CDQ data model often contains values like 'CHE-218.608.886 HR/MWST' while SAP ODM adheres to a specific format, 'CHE218608886' These transformations bridge the gap between data models, enabling data to pass through internal SAP Data Validation checkpoints. It aligns the data with SAP's stringent standards, making it ready for further processing and validation within SAP systems. These transformations not only harmonize the data but also streamline the validation process, ensuring data accuracy and consistency throughout the SAP ecosystem.

Lookup Business Partner provides alignment with the SAP Factory Standard but can be customized to customer needs.
