Execute Process Data Collection Activities
The data collection lines that are assigned to master records are used to create the data sheets on which the results of data collection activities can be recorded. Data sheets may be generated to collect data for a particular business process, such as a sales, purchase, or production order. At other times, it may be that data collection is not tied to a specific activity. In such a scenario, a data sheet is created from a log group, which exists specifically for the purpose of organizing such data collection processes.
As data collection activities are completed, you can record the results on the related data sheet. When the necessary information has been entered, you can mark the data sheet as completed.
