Hi murali

There are two types of objects in SAP, client dependent and client independent.

Objects used in several clients are called client independent while objects used in a specific client is called client dependent. To identify if a table is client dependent, one can use tcodes SE11 or SE12. In the table field attributes, if the MANDT field is present that table is client dependent.

A client-dependent table has the field MANDT of data type CLNT, which indicates Client id.

A client-independent table does not have this field.

Data which can be access by all user are client independent (no mandt field in table). Data which can be access by some specific user are client dependent (use mandt field in table) .

Award points if it useful

Hi,

Tables which are having MANDT field is called as client dependent tables. Tables which are not having MANDT field is called as client dependent tables.

Client independent

a table/object that is valid for all clients in a system. E.g table SCC4. This table will be the same no matter which client you view it from. If you try to make changes in SCC4, you'll get a popup with a warning that the table is cross client.

Client dependent

a table/object that is only valid for the client it is changed in. E.g the user tables USR*. You have to create users in each client.

Hope it helps. Please reward if useful.

Thanks & Regards

Client dependent configuration are those, which are going to have direct impact on the client we are working. some example are creation of condition table, modification in access sequence, & so on.

Client independent configuration are those which will only be available after transporting Transport Request. Say you have Client 100 & Client 200 on the same server. You will require to transport Client independent request say from client 100 to client 200. But Client dependent will be available on the server, without transporting request from client 100 to client 200.

WorkBench request are Client dependent & customozation request are Client Independent.

configuration effect client tables called depedent.configuration not effect tables called independent

u can distinguish as follows

Objects used in several clients are called client independent while objects used in a specific client is called client dependent. To identify if a table is client dependent, one can use tcodes SE11 or SE12. In the table field attributes, if the MANDT field is present that table is client dependent.

A client-dependent table has the field MANDT of data type CLNT, which indicates Client id.

A client-independent table does not have this field.

Data which can be access by all user are client independent (no mandt field in table). Data which can be access by some specific user are client dependent (use mandt field in table)

Hope ths Helps
