Hello Kumar

That is exactly the point why some customers have separated ABAP development and customizing into different clients on the DEV system.

The ABAP developers may disturb the work of the people doing the customizing yet customizing changes will not affect immediately the ABAP developers.

Of course customizing and ABAP development have to "meet" in the same client of the QAS system.

Another advantage of separating ABAP development and customizing into different clients is "segregation of duties": This way you can (partially) prevent ABAP developers from doing customizing.

PS: I have seen this kind of segregation in the system landscape of one of the biggest customers of SAP Switzerland.
