# Master data

In IFS Ultimo, you manage data used in multiple places in different modules in one central location. We call these master data. The predefined templates for Master data can help you create an API for master data. A template contains all relevant entities for that specific master data entity.

* Cost centers
* Departments
* Employees
* Service contracts
* Suppliers (Vendor)

All relations from another entity have minimum read access to the 'Description'. This way, you can quickly receive the correct information.&#x20;
