Answer / manoj kumar guin

IN SAP we can call these are master data like:
1. customer master data
2. Material master data
3.Customer material Information record
4. When we are maintaining condition records like pricing
condition record,rebate condition record,..

THE main purpose of maintaining the master data is that when
we will create any documents in sales like sales

master and the data regarding material is coming from
material master,and for example in the sales order the
delivery plant is coming from CMIR,OR CUSTOMER MASTER
