Master Data 
Master data that can be sent to an optimization program includes:
· Materials
· Bills of material
· Routings
· Work centers
· Work center hierarchies
· Resource networks
· Factory calendars
· Object classifications
· Product group
· Transition matrix
The interface only supports the exchange of the entire data record. Currently it is not possible to send changes made since the last exchange of data between the SAP system and an external system.
Once the master data has been selected, it can either be transferred manually or in a batch job.
IDocs are created for each business object. The IDocs are clearly structured so they can be read more easily by the external system.
By reducing the IDocs, it is possible to use and define additional message types (see the implementation guide for ALE).
