Client Independent(cross client) objects can be accessed from any client without transporting.

For example, Reports and smartforms are client independent that means if you create a report or smartform in one client

, this report and smartform can be viewed in another client without transporting.

Where as client dependent objects can be viewed or accessed only in the client in which you create them.

Hope this clarifies your doubt.

Please reward helpful answers.

Thanks.

hi ,

In SAP, there is a client concept ,

A client a logical division having its own data structure. Usually clients '000' and '006' are installed by default and client '100' is used for customizing.

go thorugh the link for better understanding :

To aceess client dependent data from tables , you need to use CLIENT SPECIFIED addition of select statement and provide the client number in the where clause .

Reward if helpful !

Within an SAP System, a client is a logical separation between data and users that need not be visible to each other, for instance, you may have two clients 100 and 200 on a system, each with it's own config, users and data, but the database tables and applications used by them are the same, since they are on the same system... Users on one client can only see the data that belongs to that client...

At the Data Dictionary level, client-dependent data is implemented by a CLIENT field(aka MANDT, MANDANT) based on the data type CLNT that must be the first key field in a table. All data placed into that table from a user logged on to a particular client will automatically adopt the value for the client field from the value of the system field sy-mandt at the time the data is inserted.

To know how to access data from other clients, refer to the below post:

Hope this helps

hi,

we cannot access that data from another client.

It is only possible if the field 'MANDT" is present in the table; which means it is client independent.
