The SharePoint MDM approach worked but had issues requiring a new approach.

B&G partnered with K-Rise using their acclaimed JDE pre-integrated No-Code IDE EASYProcess app development platform.

The B&G Master Data New Material Matrix factors:
Material type: Finished Goods, Purchased Finish Goods, Packaging, Raw Materials, and WIP
Cross-Functional Roles: Finance, Marketing, Logistics, Packaging, Planning, Procurement, Quality, Regulatory, and Product Development.

The improved matrix vision with advanced automation required a platform that provided state-of-the-art Workflow, Drag/Drop Form, Data and Logic functionality, that’s real-time integrated with E1. The platform needed to be Cloud No-Code for quick deployment, easy change, expansion, and client development ownership.

One big issue with SharePoint was it lacked advanced logic conditions, checks, and item flags which caused at times process flows to simply stop, without notifications to anyone. It required a lot of manual effort to fix item onboarding issues.

The session demonstration will review Business Process Automation examples like:
Real-Time JDE Integration: Integrated to E1 “Source of Record/Truth” was a necessity. Correct UDC values and changing Item Status and Type mid-process was a base requirement.
Advanced Multi-Task Workflow: B&G needed more than simple; “submit and save.” At a status, the process needed to multi-task too many different Roles providing, as an example, “Request to Deny” Approval… changes the stocking type to “O”(obsolete).
Communication / Visibility: Unit of Measure checks and validations occur across multiple roles and conditions. Advanced Workflow/Form/Logic platform functionality enabled complete automation with this complex process.
Replacing Hard-Coded logic with a Configurable Database: Category codes, Branch Plants, Item Defaults, and more had to be real-time and maintainable.

Master Data Management (MDM) provides organizations with an accurate and comprehensive view of their business-critical data such as Customers, Products, Vendors, Employees, Assets, Equipment, and more.
