Dear Jans

When some paper work is involved, you can call it as transaction data. For both incoming invoice and outbound deliveries, to do further transactions, you are updating in SAP, whereas, Vendors, Banks and Material masters are master datas which is a one time work.

So the answers are (a) and (b)

thanks

hi

Transactional data is data related to a single business event such as a purchase requisition or a request for payment.

When you create a requisition, for example, SAP creates an electronic document for that particular transaction. SAP gives the transaction a document number and adds the document to the transaction data that is already in the system.

a and b are transaction data because these r the documents which is generated in carrying out transaction process (say u r doing transaction such as goods movement etc)

on the other hand c,d,e are master data . Master data is that type of data which remains unchanged over a long period of time.It cotains information that is always needed in the same way .With master data u r dealing with attributes,texts,hierarchies.

reward points if helpful
