WHAT IS THE MEAN OF CLIENT DEPENDENT AND CLIENT INDEPENDENT IN SAP

Re: CLIENT

Former Member — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 08:23:00 GMT

Client dependent Means if you create that data in one client is limited to that client only and it is not accessable in other clients

Like SAP SCRIPTS and STD texts data

where as Client Independent means the data if you create in one client that is available in that as well as in other clients

Like All dictionary Objects data and Repository objects data like Programs, Fun modules, tables etc

SAP scripts and Standard texts are client dependent.

For example, you have dev box,(Client 100 & 200) where you do all your changes. Usually, whatever changes are done in cleint 100 will be cascaded to Client 200 ( it will reflect), that is cleint independent

Coming to SAP script if you modify in cleint 100 it will not reflet in clent 200, your have to IMPORT it.Clent DEPENDENT

Client independent data is valid accross the clients whereas client dependent data is valid for the current client.

Technical:

when we add a field MANDT of type MANDT then our table is client dependent and is visible to only that client. But if this Field is not added to the table then we can access the table using any client number.

tables which can be access by all user are client independent (no mandt field in table)

tables which can be access by some specific user are client dependent (use mandt field in table)

CLIENT DEPENDENT means any change in one client will afferct all

AND CLIENT INDEPENDENT only related to that client

Ex 400 and 500 two diffrent client for any server

if you change data in 400 also affect 500 then CLIENT DEPENDENT

if not then CLIENT INDEPENDENT

generally all configuration parts are CLIENT DEPENDENT

Definition of client : Highest level at which data can be maintained in SAP.

Client dependent tables -- MANDT is a field in table , so data will be available only

in that client

Cleint independent table -- no field called MANDT, so data is transparent across the client
