SPDD and SPAU original or modified in SP

[Former Member]

When applying SP I wander if my assumptions are correct. If we skip this phases the dictionary elements is set to those imported with support packages and custom modifications remain in system

You should NEVER skip the SPDD phase when applying support packages.

In worst case, your own additions of Z-fields in SAP standad tables are gone afterwards.

Hi Jan,

from the sap documentation you should not postpone modifications for dictionary objects, but only for repository objects,

see the following link (valid for ECC 5)
