Reference & Master Data: understand the concepts and exam cues.
Establishing a single, authoritative, golden version of shared core data.
Master Data Management (MDM) establishes and maintains a single, authoritative, consistent version of the core shared entities an organisation depends on — customer, product, supplier, account. Reference Data Management governs the shared code sets (currencies, country codes, product types) that classify other data. Together they reduce duplication and inconsistency across systems.
