Client-specific Table :

Incase if you have created the program/ table in the development server, it is specific to that particular server.

So if you want to use the same in the production server , then you have to transport the same with the transport request that is created ( specific ) for the development.

Cross client tables

Cross client tables are client independent tables. i.e when u change the record in one client then automatically that change reflects in other clients also. The data is common for all the clients.

if u want the cross client tables, then the tables without mandt field are client independent tables.

Plzz reward if it helps.

1.Use the fild name and the Data element name as MANDT to create a table client dependent.

2. For maintaing table first make sure that in SE11->Table display-> Delivery and Maintenance tab -> Data Browser/Table View Maint. give as Display/Maintenance Allowed

After that go to Utiliites->Table Maintenance Generator to maintain the Table.

Then after go to SM30 to maintain table.

Reward points if useful.

Hi Kumar,

A Client is a kind of domain which has all the users with similar access rights.i.e., all those users which have similar access rights are grouped together and are assigned a client to work with.This client is given the access rights accordingly.

Client specific tables are those tables which have MANDT field in them.

MANDT field is used to deteremine the client in wihich the table can be used.

While creating a table if the field MANDT is given,then it is accessible only within that client.

If the access is given to change or delete the table in other clients,only then the other clients can use it.Otherwise only the users within the client can access it and change the values in it.

Cross Client tables are those in which you will not have the MANDT field.

These tables can be accessed accross all the clients.Here as the MANDT field is not present,the table can be used accross all the clients and hence the name Cross Client Tables.The users from any client in the server can access the table,change or delete the values in it if the user has access rights.

Reward if helpfull.

Thanks,

Dear sir,

Client specific data means data such as user master and application data which belong to a specific client only.

Cross client data is not specific to any client. It is the data that belongs to all clients. It means data such as cross client customizing and all repository objects which affects the whole SAP system.

Reward if helpfull.
