Hi Anil,

SAP recommends to use client 000 as source for client copy with profile SAP_CUST (which is recommended by SAP system when you do client copy).

000 - Master client

001 - Copy of client 000.

Hi

Always use client 000, except for solution manager systems.

Best regards

550894 - CC-ADMIN: Setting up a new client

Always use client 000 as a template, and never client 001. (A known exception is the SAP Solution Manager.)

Do not copy any application data from client 000 because the consistency of data and the number ranges cannot be guaranteed.

Only client 000 is populated with upgrades, Legal Change Packages, Support Packages, language imports and so on with new Customizing so that it always contains the current sample Customizing. This is why it is also so important that the copy is only carried out after the system is updated. Client 001, on the other hand, is obsolete. It serves only as a sample client and may be deleted at any time.
