• Key Concepts: 
  Source ID is a unique identifier used in SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) to identify the source of master data records. It is used to differentiate between different sources of master data, such as different systems, applications, or databases. The Source ID is stored in the MDG system and is used to track the origin of each master data record. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The Source ID is used to identify the source of a master data record when it is imported into the MDG system. When a record is imported, the Source ID is assigned to it and stored in the MDG system. This allows users to track the origin of each record and determine which source it came from. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When importing master data records into MDG, it is important to ensure that the Source ID is correctly assigned to each record. This will help ensure that records are properly tracked and can be easily identified when needed.
