ERP: Data Normalization
• Organizing data
• Creating tables and establishing relationships
between those tables
• Eliminating redundancy and inconsistent
dependency.
• Redundant data wastes disk space and creates
maintenance problems.
• Eliminate repeating groups in individual tables.

data.
• Identify each set of related data with a primary
key.
• Relate these tables with a foreign key.
