    How do you define "master data" if not as data entities? You'll have to come with a definition. You could, for example, try to use a similar approach as in previous AX versions (e.g. exporting and importing "Parameter" and "Group" tables), but you would likely run into many problems that Data Import/Export Framework solves for you.

    By the way, please be more careful when attaching tags, your question doesn't seem to be much related to AX 2009, Retail, workflow, SSRS and other things...

    I tried the dat file solution but I faced many problems , regarding tags it seems selected by mistake .

    Which is probably why DIXF is considered best practice by MS, but you could write scripts, you could buy import tools. I would not recommend the dat solution or the Excel import in AX2012.
