Sample Master Data Provided with SAP Best Practices

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.

For the SAP Best Practices for Media offering, master data is created in the following building blocks:

• V31: Other Condition Records
• V33: Other Setup
• V34: Other Master Data
• V36: Output Condition Records
• V37: Release Strategy Setup
• O10: IPM Master Data
• O30: Rights and Royalty Management

Note For detailed information on the variant files relevant to a specific scenario, refer to the eCATT variant column in the Development Master Lists for the prerequisite building blocks for the respective scenario, and in the Development Master Lists for the master data building blocks for the Media offering.
