A Master Sale Department (MSD) is a grouping of Sale Departments. For example, the MSD 'Food' might be comprised of the following sale departments: 'Appetizers', 'Entries', and 'Dessert'. MSD’s provides a higher-level grouping for reporting. This helps to summarize the more detailed Sale Department information.
Master Sale Departments are used throughout Radar to generate charts and reports. If MSDs are not configured these charts and reports will not run or be incomplete.
