Hello Deok,
Basic differences between Transaction/document Header level and Item level
Header
Header level- summary information
Header level stores the information about the characteristics of the Transaction/document.
Header level data contains details such as a customer number, customer's name and address, sales area- sales organization, distribution channel and division etc.
Header level status of a Transaction document contains the data that applies to all the items in the document.
Header level data do not change very frequently.
Item
Item level - Detailed Information of the Transaction/document
Item level stores the characteristics of the items or material like which category it belongs whether it's a service item, deliverable item, package goods, semi-finished etc.
Item level data contains details such as item number, quantities, units of measure, item price.
Item level Status contains information that applies to that particular line item.
The item level data is one which changes frequently.
Example when you create a Transaction/Document for Opportunity or Quotation or Sales order, you need to input customer number, customer's name and address, sales area - sales organization, distribution channel and division etc. When you input material/Item in the item level of the Transaction/Document, it will automatically have the same information/values from the header level data to all Items that entered in the Item level.
Header Data is data applicable to entire Transaction document but Item level data is specific to each Item only.
