Introduction

Experian Data Validation for SAP S/4HANA keeps your contact data accurate, complete and correctly formatted. Our app validates postal addresses, email addresses and phone numbers globally, in real-time at the point of data capture within your SAP system ‒ reducing manual data-management time and increasing process efficiency. Without a data quality solution in place, you risk issues with business processes, missed sales opportunities and poor customer experiences.

Users enter the address data at the point of entry, into the SAP screens, which is checked against the reference data available for that country. By using the Experian address search pop-up (utilising the Business Address Service BAS), the address is then verified, completed, and returned to the screen. If an address is not verified in the first instance, users can search for and select the correct final address from the list provided.

When integrated with SAP, the solution leverages SAP Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) to trigger real-time address validation within the Business Address Services (BAS) areas.
