Hi,

When we reload master data in any object, two things can happen:

a) If a new record is comming which does not exists in the object, then it will create a new record in the master data of the infoobject.

b) If the record is already present in the master data, then it will overwrite the attributes and text data with the data comming in the reload.

Master data are always overwritten, so you will be not having two records for say, same material number in the 0Material object. And also remember that master data loads do not have any request number.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks

I had understood that:

- Master Data Text is overwritten

- Master Data Attributes are written as M (modified) until activated.
