Use

Master data contains all the most important information on sites, vendors, and customers as well as on all the articles involved. This information also includes pricing and cycle control data and is stored in the system for retrieval when the user processes business transactions. When master data is consistently maintained, the time required to process transactions can be drastically reduced, as the system can then automatically default the business transactions in the relevant fields.
