SAP For Beginners | Master Data and Transaction Data

This video from “BuddyFromIT” introduces the fundamental concepts of master data and transaction data within the SAP system. Artur, the SAP expert, explains that master data represents the core entities an organization deals with, such as materials, customers, and vendors, which remain relatively constant over time. In contrast, transaction data captures the day-to-day business events, like sales orders and invoices, which utilize master data and are frequently generated. The purpose of the video is to clarify this distinction for SAP beginners, using real-world examples like a McDonald’s order to illustrate how these two data categories interact within business processes.
