Execute Process Data Collection activities

The data collection lines assigned to master records are used to create the data sheets on which you record the results of data collection activities. Generate data sheets to collect data for a particular business process, such as a sales, purchase, or production order. At other times, data collection may not be tied to a specific activity. In such a scenario, create a data sheet from a log group, which exists specifically for the purpose of organising such data collection processes.

As data collection activities are completed, record the results on the related data sheet. When the necessary information is entered, mark the data sheet as completed.

The following table describes a sequence of activities, with links to the topics that describe them. These activities are listed in the order in which they are generally performed.
