The article master contains information on all the articles that a company procures or produces, stores, and sells. It is the company's central source for retrieving article-specific data. This information is stored in individual article master records.
These functions are part of the business function Retail Enhancements (ISR_RETAILSYSTEM) that you usually activate with the Retail business function set.
In Customizing for the Article Master, you can configure the article master to suit your specific requirements. You do this in the section Configuring the Article Master.
