making them perfect for tailored data requirements 🎯.

𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗜𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘀 – Essential for transferring static data like material (MATMAS05) and
customer details across systems .

𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗜𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘀 – These cover dynamic, frequently updated data, including
invoices (INVOIC) 📄 and purchase orders (ORDERS) 🛒.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘀 – Perfect for notifications and acknowledgments to keep systems in


sync, like ALEAUD for auditing 📢.
