Master Data

Make Your System a Living System

Master data is the central information source for your company. All SAP components access this data. By integrating master data in central database objects, you can avoid data redundancy. SAP components use data from the individual master data records for most transactions.

Generating your company's master data in an SAP Best Practices system is one of the central tasks in the implementation process. The sample master data provided allows you to successfully implement the preconfigured business scenarios. The data can be imported into the preconfigured system using test procedures created with the Extended Computer Aided Test Tool (eCATT). If necessary, it is possible to replace the sample data delivered by SAP Best Practices with your own master data. For more information on how to proceed, see Analyzing the Master Data Installed.

All master data for the SAP Best Practices for Logistics Service Providers Solution is created in Building Blocks D30 to D34. Please refer to the respective Configuration Guide of these Buidling Blocks.

D30 - CO Settings

D31 - Variant Configuration

D32 - SD Settings
