Difference between master, documents, document lines, master data row

Hi,
Can some please explain the difference between master, documents, document lines, master data row?
What is the best optimize development technique in terms of architecture and programming?
When to use it effectively?
Thanks

Hi Juan,
Are you referring to the settings for a user-defined table? If so, these settings are for use with UDOs (User-defined objects). UDOs cannot currently be manipulated by the DI API so setting a user-defined table to anything other than 'No Object' will restrict how you can access this data.
UDOs are really only for user data entry at this time (ie you must use the UI to enter data).
Kind Regards,
Owen

Difference between master data and transactional data

Hi experts i have just started learning BW can u plz let me know the difference between Master data and Transactional data in bw ? and why is master data is first loaded before the transactional data ? thanks .....

Hi
Transaction data represents any transaction occured between two parties like Customer and Vendor.
We maintain id's to maintain the Customer and Vendor.
When we look at the id we don't have a clue like who is the customer, where does he live,,....
So all this info is maintained in Master data in three categories:
1. Attributes
2. Text
3. Hierarchies.
Collection of Attribute, Texts and Hierarchies is called master Data in BI/BW.
Eg: 0MATERIAL, 0CUSTOMER,,,,,
Master data: is data that remains unchanged over a long period of time. Master data contains information that is always needed in the same way. Characteristics can bear master data in BW. With master data you are dealing with attributes, texts or hierarchies.

Master Data is one form of the historical data. There is no frequent changes in the data.Every application has it's own Master Data.
In BI the master Data has been divided into
Characterstics
Texts
Hierarchies
We can load Master Data through different ways.
Pls. find the below link

Any difference between Master data and User master data ?

Any difference between Master data and User master data ?

hi
A user master record defines the authorizations assigned to a user. Based on these authorizations one can access the master data.
Master data - it is the data which is used long term in SAP r/3 system such as vendor master , material master, customer master,
there is no such thing like user master data to the best of my knowledge
hope this helps

Diffreence Between Master Data and Transcation Data

Hello Friends,
What is the Difference Between Master Data and Transcation Data.
i know only one differnece,,ie,,
Transcation data modified frequently and Master data are not modified frequently..
can any one tell the other difference..

hi check this..
MASTER DATA=>
Master data are distributed throughout the company, they are often not standardised and often redundant. As a result it is very costly to offer efficient customer service, keep track of supply chains and make strategic decisions. With SAP Master Data Management (SAP MDM) these important business data from across the company can be brought together, harmonised and made accessible to all staff and business partners. As a key component of SAP NetWeaver, SAP MDM ensures data integrity via all IT systems.
Regardless of the industry, companies often work with different ERP and Legacy systems. The result: the business processes are based on information about customers, partners and products which is displayed in different ways in the systems. If the data are recorded manually, there are more inconsistencies: some data sets are entered several times, others cannot be retrieved by all divisions of the company.
As corporate applications are becoming increasingly complex and produce ever greater amounts of data, the problem is intensified further. Nevertheless, your employees must work with the inconsistent data and make decisions on this basis. The lack of standardised master data easily leads to wrong decisions, which restrict efficiency and threaten customer satisfaction and profitability.
In a word: in order to save costs and ensure your companys success it is necessary to consolidate master data about customers, partners and products, make them available to all employees beyond system boundaries and use attributes valid company-wide for the purpose of description.
TRANSACTION DATA=>

Difference between master and transaction data

whts the difference and relaionship between master data and transaction data?why do we need to upload or extract both type of data's?cant we have only transaction data?please clarify

Hi ,
<b>Master Data :</b>
The data which do not change frequently and that is needed generally for many reporting .
Eg : Customer Name , Customer Address Etcc..
<b>Transaction Data :</b>
This the data that is derived based on some master data
Eg : Creating a sales order for a Customer . So the transaction data will be
       Customer Number , Order Quantity .
Why we keep master data as seperate in BW ?
Because master data is general , So we have to use that master data in many cubes for reporting purpose . Because for any report on Customer we need to give cutomer name , So we keep that master data outside of cube so that any cubes that need to use customer master can take that , So we can concentrate on other dimensions for cube ,Other wise we need to include customer name in all cubes which is reppetitive .
So the best method is to ....
First Load master Data
Then load Transactio data .
In the Bex part we combine the master data with transaction data so that we get combined data .
Eg :
Master Data : Customer No , Cust Name , Cust Address
Tran Data    : Customer No , SD No , Order Qty .
We first load the master data into master data tables /BI0/M*
Then we load tarnsaction data into Cubes .
Then in BEX Reporting we create query for Transaction Cube , But fetch some master data using Bex feature , So the report output will be
Cust No   CustName    CustomerAddress    SD no    Order Quantity
Hope this Solves your Problem

Difference between Master Idoc and Communication Idoc.

Can anyone list out the difference between Master Idoc and Communication Idoc?

IDoc (for intermediate document) is a standard data structure for electronic data interchange (EDI) between application programs written for the popular SAP business system or between an SAP application and an external program. IDocs serve as the vehicle for data transfer in SAP's Application Link Enabling (ALE) system. IDocs are used for asynchronous transactions: each IDoc generated exists as a self-contained text file that can then be transmitted to the requesting workstation without connecting to the central database. Another SAP mechanism, the Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) is used for synchronous transactions.
Form and content: IDoc terminology
As is often the case with proprietary technologies, SAP assigns specific, object-oriented meanings to familiar terms. When referring to IDocs, the term document refers to a set of data comprising a functional group of records with a business identity. (For example, all the data in a purchase order, or all the profile information of a supplier in a supplier master record.)
A message refers to the contents of a specific implementation of an IDoc; its a logical reference. This differs from a reference to the IDoc itself, which specifies the messages physical representation. Think of it this way: If youre watching a parade pass by, the mayor waving to the crowd from his limousine is the message, and the mayors limousine (which is specific to the mayor) is the IDoc. Youre building a logical object, and the IDoc is both its container and the vehicle that moves it.
The IDoc control record
Each IDoc has a single control record, always the first record in the set. The structure of this record describes the content of the data records that will follow and provides administrative information, such as the IDocs functional category (Message Type/IDoc Type), as well as its origin (Sender) and destination (Receiver) as in conventional EDI
Layout of an IDoc control record
This cover slip format informs the receiving system of the IDocs purpose, and the receiving system uses it to determine the correct processing algorithm for handling the arriving IDoc.
Data records
The data records following the control record are structured alike, including two sections: a segment information section and a data section.
In the first part of a data record, the segment information section describes the structure of the data that follows, for the benefit of the IDoc processor. There is a segment name (like an EDI segment identifier) that corresponds to a data dictionary structure to which the IDoc processor has access. The remaining information is useful for foreign systems, such as a partner companys Oracle system, which has no such data dictionary.
The second part of the record is the data itself, a storage area of 1,000 characters.
Status records
If youve ever ordered a package from a faraway location and tracked its progress using the Internet-based tracking utilities now provided by most major parcel carriers, youre familiar with the list of stops and transfer points through which a package passes on its way to you.
This collection of records is exactly what youll see in an IDoc that has begun its work. Following the data records in an IDoc, status records accumulate as an IDoc makes its way from one point in a process to another.
Typically, an IDoc will acquire several of these records as its does its job. They are simple records, consisting of a status code (there are more than 70 codes, covering a broad range of conditions and errors), a date/time stamp, and some additional status information fields for system audit purposes. In addition, as errors occur in the processing of an IDoc, status records are used to record these errors and the date/time of their occurrence.
IDoc Base
IDocs, as data formatting tools, enable the easy sharing of data between databases and applications within a company as well as being an efficient data courier between companies. Typically in SAP, a database of IDoc definitions exists, to which any application may have access.
This IDoc Base gives all the applications and processes in your company domain the capacity to send, receive, and process a document in a contextually appropriate way, without doing anything to the data. For example, a purchase order IDoc can filter through every process it touches, passing from system to system, accumulating status records to track its progress.
Every department using the data can use it appropriately without any cumbersome intermediate processes, because each department draws its key to interpreting the IDoc from the same source.
Multiple messages
One cumbersome feature of conventional EDI is the embedding of more than one functional record type in a document. The unwieldy X-12 888 Item Maintenance transaction set is an example: It purports to handle so many different configurations of product master data that it is horrifically difficult to integrate into an existing system.
IDocs, on the other hand, handle multiple messages with ease. Given the centralized IDoc interpretation that SAP provides to all its parts, its no problem to define an IDoc that will contain more than one message, that is, more than one data record type.
A customer master IDoc, for example, may contain customer profile information records for a customer with many locations. But it may also contain location-specific pricing information records for that customer in the same document. This is an incredibly efficient way of bundling related records, particularly when passing large amounts of complex information from system to system Records in a multiple-message IDoc

Difference between sales document and sales document Header

Hi everyone,
what the difference difference between sales document and sales document Header if look at this equation
VBBE-VBELN= VBAK-VBELN
VBBW is sales document requirement
VBELN is a sales document
VBAK sales document header
then what the difference ales document and sales document Header
kindly assist me to guide the differences
thanks

hi
SAP has differenciated various sales scenarios into various salses documents. basing on the scenario & circumstances you will be having a sales document to use.
sales document header:which carries the properties of a sales document lie CMR MMR CMIR & Pricing conditions etc...
this will be applicable to entire sales document
by sales document we mean the total data carried by a particular document - header; item & schedule line data. each carries its own information to complete the sales document with out errors.
VBBE-VBELN= VBAK-VBELN stands for schedles in the sales order document & document header.
hope this clears your issue

Difference between sales order schedule line and item level data

Hi All,
Could you please let me know what is the difference between sales order schedule line and item level data?
Thanks,
Ramya

Hi Ramya,
Sales order schedule line contains del date, order qty, rounded qty, confirmed qty, delivery qty, schedule line category, purchase requisition etc., ie It contains the full details of sales order data with respect to the scheduled line of delivery. The total quantity of a sales order item can be subdivided into schedule lines that contain the various subsets with the corresponding delivering dates.
Sales order Item level data contains details of the item in the sales order like material code, net price, net value, UoM, PO details, reason for rejection if any, material group,billing date, plant etc., ie this
contains the full details of item irrespective of scheduled line.

What is the difference between Vendor Document and Vendor Invoice

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone please explain me the difference between Vendor Document (KA) and the Venodor Invoice(KR).
Thanks in advance.

Vendor Invoice is Book the invoice value in our book
but vendor document KA is transfer anything from one vendor to another vendor.
After closed the period, we can not reverse the posted invoice document, at that time we have to pass on journal voucher i.e *vendor document*
normally consultant gave the KA document for reversal.

There is a difference between the document total and its components

Hi!
I have an error message "There is a difference between the document total and its components" when I want to create an InventoryGenEntry
the problem arises from time to time and my customer must do the document two or three times before it is created.
I have seen in this forum and in notes that this is probably being caused by a Rounding.
I am using 2 digits for amounts, 4 digits for prices, 6 digits for rates and 3 digits for quantities.
For information my customer use SAP 2005 and the patch level 46.
This problem happened only in InventoryGenEntry. how can I modifiy parameters to resolve this problem?
thank you for your help.
Best Regards
Séverine

Hi Séverine,
Do you find any additional code added to SBO_SP_Transaction stored procedure. A similar issue with stock transfer fixed in later patch. Please test in latest patch.

Difference between master cost centre and sender cost centre

Hi All,
could you please tell the difference between master and sender cost centre.
I want this information very urgent.
Thanks rakesh

Hi!
The master CT is a default Ct in your system.
In this case the logical pair for master is the "child" cost center -> primary and secondary cost centers..
The sender CT is a different thing logically -> this will be credited while posting. The sender is the one who claims money.
To this type the logical pair is the receiver cost center. While posting the receivers cost center will be debited.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Zsolt

Difference between the Document Library in Document Center and Team Site

Hi,
I would like to know the difference between a Document Library in a normal team site and document center site.
Also what is the maximum number of item that I can upload in each document library. ( For both sites (Team Site & Document Center Site )
Thanks

The library which is created by default in a Document Center has "Document Set" and "Link to a Document" content types added to it apart from the "Document" content type. Whereas the OOB document library in Team site has only
"Document" content type attached to it. The library in team site can be easily extended to have "Document Set" and "Link to a Document" content types attached to it.
Moreover, metadata navigation is automatically added in a library in Document Center. However, it can also be applied to a library in team site. A site level feature named "Metadata Navigation and Filtering" needs to be activated and then in the
library settings a link "Metadata navigation settings" will appear under "General settings.
In nutshell, "Document Set" and "Link to a Document" content types and "Metadata navigation settings" are automatically added to OOB library in Document Center.
As far as the number of documents is concerned, you can upload millions of documents in the library (30,000,000 per library). And this limit will apply to any library whether in team site or document site. The main thing to take care of is that number of
documents returned by a particular view should not exceed the List View Threshold.

On July 29, 2014 Apple announced updated prices and processors for their Haswell Macbook Pro with Retina Display.
2.6 or 2.8 GHz (Core i5) or 3.0 GHz (Core i7)
I would go for the Pro Retina since the display is much better.
