Tables are something like "data containers" - I mean, they actually store several data records.

Structures are just several variables put together. You can assign one single record of a table to a structure. They store no data themselves.

hi,

Configuration vs. Customization

When considering enterprise software of any type, it is important to understand the difference between configuration and customization. The crux of the difference is complexity. Configuration uses the inherent flexibility of the enterprise software to add fields, change field names, modify drop-down lists, or add buttons. Configurations are made using powerful built-in tool sets. Customization involves code changes to create functionality that is not available through configuration. Customization can be costly and can complicate future upgrades to the software because the code changes may not easily migrate to the new version. Wherever possible, governments should avoid customization by using configuration to meet their goals. Governments also should understand their vendor's particular terminology with regard to this issue since words like "modifications" or "extensions" often mean different things to different vendors.

And Most Important thing is configuration always will come first then customization.

CONFIGURATION:

1. Configuration is everything else done in SPRO.

2. Configuration is what u do from the existing one in sap.

Ex: assigning pricing procedure PR00 for a material.

3. When installing SAP on any system. that’s configuration.

4. Configuration means using the standard SAP functionality & mapping to the client’s process

CUSTOMIZATION:

1. Customizing is modification of the software to meet special customer requirements.

Changes or additions to ABAP code.

2. Customization is the changes needed for the existing SAP to meet the business

Requirement.

Ex: creating a new pricing procedure which is not existing in the SAP.

3. Modifications according to business requirement is customization.

4. Customization means modifying the standard SAP for client requirement, it is costly &

Time taken.

Hi

<b>Master Data: </b>Master data is data that remains unchanged over a period of time. It contains information that is always needed in the same way. For example, all personal attributes can be stored in various SAP standard info types as records with specific validity which are called Master data.

<b>Transaction data:</b> Data relating to the day-to-day transactions.
