Data normalization
Sample files are available to populate with your data when you first onboard with Envizi Supply Chain
Intelligence. You must map source data from your ERP systems to the Envizi Supply Chain
Intelligence object model. As you populate the CSV files with your data, you must identify
which entities in your source data map to the Envizi Supply Chain
Intelligence entities. Column data
might be spread across several columns and tables in your source data. The process of normalizing
your source data helps to:
- Focus on the primary entities.
- Reduce redundancy.
- Avoid inconsistencies.
