During each user session you can only access the data of the client selected during the logon. During your lab your enterprise or company or organization’s (SE464Lab) client ID is 800 which has been set as default. Go to e:\shortcuts\SAPLOGON icon to start SAP. Click on SE464Lab to start the logon process SAP needs a protected access therefore a user name & a password is required for logon.

Master Data Data that remains unchanged for an extended period of time (in contrast to transactional data). Contains info that is used in the same way for similar objects. Examples are suppliers (name, address and banking information), materials, customers.
