Hi

Master Data: 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 infotypes as records with specific validity which are called Master data. Transaction data: Data relating to the day-to-day transactions.

Master data are the data that remains same over a period of time .It doesn't changes in day to day basis.......viz. material master, Bill of material , Routing Etc.

Transactional data are the one that changes very frequently .......like the Production order data, sales order, Purchase requistion etc
