Page 38 Master Data Master data refers to data records that are held for a long period of time in the database. Master data includes for example customers, suppliers, materials and accounts. Master data may be used across modules. Master data contains information that is always used in the same way. For example the master data of a cost center: the name, the person responsible and the hierarchy area remains the same over the time the cost center is used. Most of the master data is assigned to organizational units. For example Vendor master data shares the sales and distribution and financial accounting data. One customer master record may be assigned to the following organizational units: Company code Sales organization Distribution channel Division Master Data (For example, Vendor master data) General Data (cross-company) Accounting Data (relevant for company code only) Materials Management

Each time a document, e.g. order, delivery note or invoice is saved an output format is generated. The output format represents a message in R/3. The message is forwarded to the message queue. Messages can be released either automatically or manually for printing or other output. Individual messages can be released during processing via the different communication media.

ABAP/4 queries Provide basic lists, sorted and totalled by various criteria. Report painter / writer An ABAP/4 coded generator, which allows the end user the opportunity to define report rows and columns for customized reporting. ABAP/4 = Advanced Business Application Programming Language R/3 reports provide transaction-level data. Reports are organized by application using report trees. R/3 contains standard reports for each area, but reports can be customized to meet specific company requirements. Reports include drill-down, sorting and summarizing features and can be downloaded for the use in other applications, e.g MS-Excel.

Page 89 You can: –Use multiple sessions to work on more than one transaction at a time E.g. Creating a sales order and running a report in the background –Create a new session from any screen in SAP R/3 –Start a new session without losing data in your current session. However, if you close your current session without saving, you will still lose data –Create up to a maximum of six sessions –Open multiple sessions however, it is recommended that no more than 3 sessions be opened at any one time. Creating more sessions causes the system processing to slow down and you may lose track of the tasks you are executing Using Multiple Sessions
90
Page 90 There are 3 ways to create multiple sessions: –Click on Standard Toolbar –Type “/o” and a transaction code in the command field to open a particular transaction in a new session –Select the Menu path: System Create session Creating Multiple Sessions
