If in a table there is field called

MANDT	MANDT	CLNT	3	0	Client

its client Dependent.

If <b>MANDT</b> is not there in the table it makes it clicnt independent.

Most of the tables are client dependent.

Hi,

Whenever you login in the SAP system you login with some client. So basically a CLIENT is something that allows you to access some of the system.

In the SAP system all the data are stored with a field called MANDT and with the datatype CLNT. This field contains the client details.

So when you access a table you can access the data of the table of your current execution client. And so that Table is called client dependent. You can only access data of the table of your logon client.

But when you mention client independent you can execute any data from any of the client. This is called the Client Independent.

Thanks,

Samantak.
