When implementing a Reference and Master Data Management (RMDM) program, it is crucial to utilize techniques that ensure consistency, accuracy, and reliability of data across various systems. Business key cross-references is one such technique. This technique involves creating a mapping between different identifiers (keys) used across systems to represent the same business entity. This mapping ensures that data can be accurately and consistently referenced, integrated, and analyzed across different systems.
