Hi,

You seem to have created a configuration table when you actually want an application data table.

You need to reseach the meaning of the settings on the 'Delivery and Maintenance' tab and in the table maintenance generator.

Hi,

When you create a table there are settings you need to make that will dictate whether the table is configuration table (only changed in one client then moved to other systems using transport) or application data (maintained, usually by end users direct in any client in the landscape).

As your table has employee number as the key it seems to be an application data table, but the message you get suggests it is not set as this.

So, in transaction SE11 (where you created the table) look at the settings on the 'Delivery and Maintenance' tab, read the help for these fields and set them to the correct values to maintain the table directly. Also, you are using the option 'Utilities->Table contents-> create new entries' to create entries, where you could use 'Utilities -> Table maintenance generator' to create a maintenance screen. If you choose do this you'll need to check these settings are correct for an application data table.

Set the Technical Settings(ctrlshftF9), Delivery and Maintenance tab and Table maintenance(Utilities->Table Maintenance Generator).

HI,

When ever you want to make the table as cross client and get it transported, first give the mandt field as the key option.

Later select, deliver and maintenance allowed in the attributes section which is important if you want to create new entries.

then later give the enhancement category also in the extras as can be enhanced char or numeric, inorder to avoid the warnings while activating the table.

go to utilities-table maintenance generator, with the help of this maintenance generator ( clients can input the data directly through sm30 tcode ( create new entries, edit,delete ).

steps to create maintenance generator:

give the function group,

select one step

give the screen number

then press create

it will ask for the package, specify the package ,press enter

then it will ask the transport number,specify the same.

now the maintenance generatir is done.

go to sm30 tcode and specify the table name and press maintain.

add your entries by clicking new entries.

upon new entries, save it , inorder to get the entires saved in to the table .

Dear Bhavana,

I think there is the problem from SCC4 tcode .

go to tcode SCC4 , select your client and double click on that .

in cross client object changes , check option is

changes to Repositry and cross client Customizing allowed or not .

if not then select this option .

your problem will be solved .

Thanks & Regards
