System for automated material master data harmonization

A system for harmonizing material master data, comprising:

• a computer hard drive;
• a processor unit operably associated with the computer hard drive;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by the processor unit;
• the non-transitory computer readable medium including:
• an attribute extraction sub-system;
• an attribute quality check sub-system;
• a non-source enrichment sub-system;
• and
• a data enrichment sub-system;
• wherein enriched results, with attribute values for harmonization of data with dependencies including data classification and manufacturer part number (MFR-MPN) extraction, are not dependent on any other stage;
• wherein the attribute extraction sub-system shows the number of total items denoted as a stock keeping unit (SKU), along with a number of categories having a percentage of SKUs for which the attribute values have been extracted and for those that are un-extracted;
• wherein the attribute extraction sub-system extracts and displays attributes of an item that are for generating an enriched description by harmonizing and enabling scanning of short and long descriptions along with relevant input data fields specified during importation of the batch data and specifying criteria to extract attributes;
• wherein the data enrichment sub-system enables enrichment of the SKUs with the attribute values found from the Internet, thereby the results that are directly obtained on searching the MFR-MPN match are classified as hits, wherein the hits are displayed on a screen and indicated by a first symbol, and results obtained that do not directly return attribute based values are classified as no hits, wherein the no hits are displayed on the screen and indicated by a second symbol.
