creation of article (product) master records
Explanation:
"Stamm" in German always refers to a master record, usually in a computer network. Often, in larger companies, a master record will be used by various departments for different purposes. The warehouse will use the product master record for recording and maintaining inventory, the sales department for sales, the bookeeping department for payments and product costs.

entries in the product database


Explanation:
"Artikelstamm", in this case seems to be the "product database" containing a unique set of data for each product offered. Waht they have in mind here is, probably, that entries in this database should be made in a way hat it's impossible to create more than one data set for the same product by different authorised persons/departments/divisions within the company.

If such product database does not exist at the moment and should be created from zero:

"coordinating the creation of the/a product database".
