Update of fields between forms

Hi,

Seeking to get a better understanding on the following :
What is the rule for updating Master Data and subsequent forms created from Master Data?
For example, currently we have Salary Structures created from existing mast data of Employees. However, if existing Employee information were to change (i.e. change in Company field), what is the rule to carry over the changes and reflect it on Salary Structure and subsequent forms created from that data?

Thank you.

@asneha1 that depends

In most use-cases, you should not update the transaction because it was sent to a third party with that data. In case of salary, if salary is paid, it should reflect the designation of the employee at that point. That should be the standard scenario.

Maybe in some use cases it makes sense to update.
