    Dear kondaiah,

    Master Data is standard and used for a long time period to run the organisation successfully.

    As in Definition:
    Master Data are the critical nouns of a business which are used for a long time period.

    It fall generally into four groupings:

    • people
    • things
    • places
    • concepts.

    Further classifications within those groupings are called subjected areas, domain areas or entity types. I am explaining it herewith examples: people: customers,employee,vendors and share holders etc.. things: product,part,store and assets etc.. concepts: contract, warranty, licenses and patents etc.. places: office locations and geographic divisions etc.. again these domain areas may divided further as per the business process like customer- further segmented based on incentives and history. it mean that every organisation may have normal customers, premier and executive customers. hope its useful.

    Regards, Arun.

    Above information is giving a clear idea about Master Data.

    This will be maintained in all functional modules like
    FICO - GL(BS Accs, Profit & Loss Accs and Share Holders Equity Accts), AA(Asset master), AP(vendor Accounts) and AR(customer Accounts)
    MM - Master Data associated materials and vendors
    SD - Master Data associated Customers and Products
    HR - Master Data associated Employee and payrolls
    PP - Master Data associated to Inventory and capital

    Hope its useful..

    Regards,
    Arun.
