Master Data 

Use

Master data is partly used for system-technical purposes, and partly for business purposes. It either does not change at all, or only insignificantly during the life of an internal order.

You use the master data to define the attributes of an internal order, such as:

• Its purpose (using the Order Type)

• The processing possibilities (using Status Management and the allowed or prohibited Business Transactions per status)

For more information on the classification of order master data, see Structuring the Order Layout.

You can print master data for internal orders, using forms adaptable to your needs. For more information, see the implementation guide (IMG), under Controlling ® Internal Orders ® Order Master Data ® Prepare for Order Printing.
