SAP MM - Master data

There are two types of data in SAP :

1. Master data

2. Transaction data

Master data: It is a kind of data that doesn't change regularly i.e., static in nature

For example: if you require a bank account, we are required to fill some kind of application form where our personal details are given like name, email address, etc... this is called master data

Transactional data: Master data is the basis for transactional data. Transactional data changes regularly.

For example: based on the application bank account number is generated by the bank which will be used for performing transactions.

There are different types of master data in MM :

2. Material master data

3. Purchase info records

4. Source list

5. Quota arrangement

6. Service Master data...

There are other master data as well like Output, conditions, etc which are used during transactional data processing

Master data is created through an easy access screen and is non-transportable. It is required to maintain each system across the landscape individually.

Businesses own the master data in the company and there will be site data managers who manage them.

In case of interfaces :

Partner profile maintenance comes under master data and needs to be maintained in each system
