Source summary
The proposed CPSE material-master platform should find identical, duplicate, near-duplicate and functionally equivalent items across ERP/SAP records. AI/NLP should recommend standardized descriptions, specifications, classifications and a common material code while preserving mappings to each enterprise's original codes. Human review and approval, legacy migration, integration, dashboards and audit trails are required; equivalence suggestions are not automatically interchangeable procurement decisions.
