hi,

Header data is something that defines the overview of a document type like VBAK table has header data for the sales order and it gives the overview abt the document type of the sales order , creation date of sales order , sold to party for sales order.. etc..

Item data is something related to the contents of the document like in sales order we have VBAP data which gives information abt the differemt materials included in the order like there quantity , date of delivery ...

Moreover header data has fields that will be sum of item quantity , price ... In this way we have heirachy in almost all documents in SAP...
