master data: Data which is seldomly changed. An example of master data is the data contained in an address file, such as the name, address and telephone number.

transaction data: Data that is frequently changed. An example of transaction data is the goods in a warehouse, which change after each purchase order.

master data means not frequently changed.

transactional data means frequently changed data.

for ex: address of the vendor,account number of the vendor not change frequently that's y i.e master data.

materials supplied by the vendor not same every time that's y it is trasactioal data.

hi

Master table is one where all the basic data is loaded ie the data is not frequently changed example material master (MARA) which contains all the details of all materials which are loaded once into SAP system and rarely changed.

Transactional table is one which data is frequently changed and updated now and then as in the case of purchase order tables.

provide pts if useful

Thanks
