Abstract

A method of controlling transactions includes segmenting master data into separate process control data for a particular business process of a business organization, such as for example, materials to be the subject of transactions. A status may be set for each process control data. The method includes controlling storing of the process control data into the master data as a function of the status. Transactions may be processed using process control data as a function of the status of the corresponding process control data status.
