Master Data - eg. Creating a vendor

Transaction Data - eg. Creating a purchase order

BAPI and ALE can be used for both Master and Transaction Data.

BAPI eg. - BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE

ALE can be used to update Control, Master and Transaction data.

Configuration technique involves many many steps. I suggest you to refer - Arvind Nagpal book on ALE, EDI & IDoc Technologies for SAP

BD87 - allows you to reprocess inbound idocs

Not sure of WE15 - Test Outbound Processing

I assume you are new to this, so suggest you to go through help.sap.com for the related information.
