Winterhalter Gastronom GmbH SUCCESS STORY OF A CUSTOMER PROJECT
Poor master data quality is often due to the fact that the data is created and maintained by one central master data person responsible who has to gather information without clearly defined processes. This is how it used to be at Winterhalter Gastronom GmbH as well. The all-in-one system solution provider for dishwashers, detergent products, water treatment and accessories therefore searched for a solution enabling an efficient creation and maintenance of materials, purchasing info records and source lists in SAP. With FIS/mpm, Winterhalter has moved away from maintenance on demand and established standardized processes for the creation and processing of its material masters.

The “turbo button” for maintaining individual materials IN FIS/mpm
A particularly helpful function of FIS/mpm is the “turbo button” in the SAP user interface. It arose from the desire to be able to use the features of the master data maintenance tool also when maintaining individual materials. The MRP controller can go from the MD04 transaction directly to FIS/mpm and process changes at the push of a button, i.e. save and release the worklist and transfer it to SAP. The button is intended for minimal daily changes to the master data record, such as increasing the replenishment lead time from five to seven days or quickly entering a storage bin.
