Client Independent Customizing

Hi Experts,
Can anyone help me to find all the client independent customizing that may affect PS module?
Thanks in advance,
Neil

In Spro include the column which shows the technical data >Client-Dependency (Menu>Additional Information>Technical Data>Client Dependency). Now under each lowest node of PS you should find the information required

What is client independent customizing....Newbie

Gurus
Client has Application data(master + transactional data)
Customizing data pertaining to the client
Then what is client independent customizing...I read on SAP...but I do not understand its weird definition...please explain me in simple English
During client copy when should i choose client independent data to be copied? if my target client already exists.

Hi
A client is an independent business unit within an R/3 System, Data in the R/3 are classified as cleint-Dependent and client-independent.
Client-independent data such as ABAP Programs, R/3 repository objects throught the entire system.
Other data is client-dependent. meaning, it can be viewed from one client.Cleint-dependent data includes customizing application and user data.
enterprise IMG is cleint independent.

Client Independent custom table create

Hi ,
As per the requiremnts i have created a custom table in Client DEV1... and updated the table through an interface.
The custom table have 12 entries in that Client.
Now the same custom table when checked in another DEV Client DEV2 which is almost the replica of DEV1.. i.e if any custom table or custom program is ctreated in DEV1 it reflects in DEV2,,,, the entries are not found.
COuld anybody let me know incase some settings needs to be checked for checking the same entries in Client DEV2 as in Client DEV1 for the same custom table?
Or there are some steps included while creating thre custom table so that its entries are found in both clients ?
Or execute the interface in DEV2 can create entries.
Which odf the above approach needs to be considered ?
Thanks
Kritika

Hi Kritika !!
If you want to reflect the same records in different clients, you have to delete the MANDT field from your Custom table. then only the records will reflect in all the clients of the same Custom Table.
If you are not willing to remove the Field MANDT from Custom table and U need the same records in all the clients, U have to create records through Utilities -> Table Contents -> Create Entries or with the Help of TMG or with the help of Ur Interface.

If custom programs, reports and FM are client independent

Hi,
If custom programs, reports and FM are client independent why we need to transport them and why they are not visible in other clients............
Thanks,
Tanmaya

Yes Tanmaya you are right,
Say You DI2 system & you have 410, 420 ,430 clients in it, then these objects will be visible in all these clients.
say you have DI4 system 410, 420, 430 clients so you have to transport them to DI4 & to other sytems also like QD1, PD1 etc.
Hope this clears your doubt.
Close the thread if this solves your query.

Client dependent and client independent in ALE

I am going through pdf learning of an ALE scenario,i couldnot get wat is meant by client Independent and client dependent.
How can i conclude
Create message type (WE81){color:green} Client independent {color}
To create a new message type, follow these next few steps:
u2022 Enter transaction WE81 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> Create logical message type)
u2022 Choose Create logical message type by double clicking on it
u2022 Click on change icon to enter change mode
u2022 Click on New entries to add a new type
u2022 Enter the required message type, in our case it is ZINVRV and an appropriate description
u2022 Save and exit.
Your message type has now been created. The next step will be to link it to the IDoc.
2.2.1. Link message to IDoc type (WE82 & BD69) {color:green} Client independent {color}
To link the message type to the IDoc type follow these next few steps:
u2022 Enter transaction WE82 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> EDI: Message Types and Assignment to IDoc Types)
u2022 Click on change icon to enter change mode
u2022 Click on New entries to create the link
u2022 Enter the message type ZINVRV and the BasicIDoc type as ZINVRV01
u2022 Save and exit
u2022 Enter transaction BD69 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> Assign message type to IDoc for ALE)
u2022 Click on change icon to enter change mode
u2022 Click on New entries to create the link
u2022 Enter the message type ZINVRV and the BasicIDoc type as ZINVRV01
u2022 Save and exit
Your IDoc is now linked to your message type. We still need to link object types and add the message to the model before we can use the message.
2.2.2. Maintain object type for message type (BD59) Client independent
The ALE objects are used to create links between IDocs and applications objects, to control the serialisation, to filter messages in the customer model and to use listings.
For our own message type and IDoc you must maintain object types for the links.
If you want to check the serialisation for the message type, then you must maintain object types for the serialisation. If no serialisation object has been maintained for a given message type, then the serialisation will not be checked for this message type.
To add an object type to our message type, follow these next few steps:
u2022 Enter transaction BD59 (ALE -> Extensions -> ALE object maintenance -> Maintain object types)
DOC NAME: ALE_SCENARIO_DEVELOPMENT_PROCEDURE
Version 1 Page 6 of 16
ALE Scenario Development Guide
u2022 Type in your message type ZINVRV and press enter
u2022 Click on New entries
u2022 Enter your object type, LIFNR (We need to use the vendor as a filter object), the segment name where LIFNR resides, Z1INVRV, a number 1 for the sequence followed by the actual field name LIFNR
u2022 Save and exit.
You have now created an object that weu2019ll use as a filter object in the customer model to direct the flow of messages to the various logical systems based on the vendors in the filter of the message type ZINVRV.
We now need to add our new message type to the distribution model.
2.3. Configuring the Distribution Model
This task is performed on your ALE reference client.
2.3.1. Manual Configuration (BD64) {color:green} Client dependent {color}
To manually configure the customer distribution model, read the ALE configuration procedure, and follow these steps:
u2022 Perform the Maintain customer distribution model directly function. (ALE -> Distribution customer model -> Maintain customer distribution model directly)
u2022 Specify the customer model you want to maintain and the logical system that is to be the sender of the messages OR create a new model. (Create model ALE with logical system ALELS1C400)
u2022 Choose the receiving systems to which the sending system must forward message type ZINVRV to.
u2022 For each receiving logical system allocate the message type necessary for communication to the receiving systems as per ALE configuration procedure.
u2022 Create filter objects (in our case LIFNR as the object type with the associated vendor number, 0000018001 with leading zeros, in the object area) for the message types.
u2022 Save the entries.
Refer my query within color:green

Client-independent data such as ABAP Programs, R/3 repository objects throught the entire system. Other data is client-dependent. meaning, it can be viewed from one client. Cleint-dependent data includes customizing application and user data.
Eg.
Scripts are client dependent, means the changes done to SAP scripts in particular client will not be reflected in other client.
Smartforms are client independent, means changes done in one client will be reflected in all the clients.
Server : ECC6
Client : 100 , 200 , 300 , 400
Now suppose you have developed report in DV server client 100.
Then you will be able to see that in all clients.
Hence this is called as client independent. You can change anywhere and changes will be reflected to all ...
Now suppose you have developed a script in DV client 100.
You will not be able to see that in client 200 or 300 or 400 unless ytou copy that from client since it is client dependent.

What are the Client dependent objects and independent objects in Financial Accounting and Controlling?
Urgent please
Thanks and regards

Go to SPRO-Additionl information-Technical data- Client specific.
The to the right of the implementation guide categories you'll see either Client-specific (customizing) dependent or Cross-client (workbench-independent)
pls assign points to say thanks.

Client independent and dependent transport request

Hi
I have a list of transport requests, I need to find which is a client independent and which is client dependent request.
I am aware that workbench req is client independent and customizing req is client dependent.
But i think i need to look someting else also, please help
Regards

Very interesting!
As we all know that customizing requests are always client dependent, the question obviously target workbench requests.
To my knowledge tables are always cross-client, but their contents are not necessarily.
As one can put table -contents- into a workbench request as well, this one would thus be client dependent. Same applies e.g. for forms.
But E070* does not give any information about the transport contents.
E071* however states the objects included, but not if those are client dependent or not.
How are table -contents- and forms reflected in E071* ? Can I filter for those somehow?
Thanks
Christoph

Client Independent settings

Hi Experts,
Please explain me some of client independent settings in FICO
Regards,
Vineela

Hi,
Client independent settings means when you logon to SAP you have to give some 3 digit number in client filed say 100, 200 or 800, etc. There can be many clients in one SAP system, but some are client specific(Client dependent) and some are Cross client(Client Independent).
Ex of cross client are operatin Concern, General master data of customer and vendor. There will be three tabs in Customer\Vendor Master data;
1)General Data;
2)Company Code data;
3)Purch Org\Sales Org;
Of these three data tab, general data is cross client, means available in all other clients.
Hope this answers your question.

Client independent settings / crioss client

Hi all
How do i identify the clint independent/ cross client settings in sap ?
Any table ?
Regards
Swapnil
Edited by: swapnil kelkar on Nov 28, 2009 12:06 PM

Hi Swapnil,
Your question is wrong...as client independent and cross client both are same
Client dependant and cross client customizing are different
All client dependant changes will effect only working client, and all cross client changes will effects entire system.
All cross client setting get store in T* tables (ex"T000)....

Client independant tables

How could I find client independant tables? Can anyone name the most important cross client tables? Which functionalities they cover?
Thank you in advance

Tina,
The client-dependent (or non cross client) tables are mostly the ones related to bussiness data (master, application data) and customizing, also user master data with authorizations, variants.
The client-independent tables are mostly the ones related with Basis (configurations that apply to all clients) and very specific customizing in some modules, dont know exactly which ones but maybe in the Functional Forum they can tell you if you need it.
Hope it helps you,
Jessica.

Why sapscripts are client dependent & smart forms are client independent?

why sapscripts are client dependent & smart forms are client independent?

You developed the script in development client , you can't find the same in testing client even though the server is same.
Where are You developed the smartform in development client , you can find the same in testing client even though the server is same.
Few more reasons why....? Please read below:
SAPscript technology is based on a mainframe product from the 1980s,
while Smart Forms have only been around since (roughly) 2001. With that sort of time gap,
there are bound to be significant differences between the two tools. As you have noted correctly, client dependence is a fundamental one.
Although SAPscript has had some incremental improvements over time,
its forms have always been -- under the hood -- relatively passive objects, with minimal embedded logic.
These forms were designed to be driven and controlled by ABAP programs,
much in the way ABAP programs read in database tables to produce reports;
if you ever download a SAPscript form (e.g., via utility program RSTXSCRP),
and look at the portable text file it produces you'll see what I mean.
Many text objects (e.g., invoice header texts) are bound directly to documents which are client-dependent, so it makes sense for these text objects to also be client-dependent. From a complexity standpoint, SAPscript forms are close enough to these text objects where I can see how it made sense at the time to make them client-dependent too.
Conversely, a Smart Form is significantly more robust and complex. For instance, it can contain program nodes and nested tables with patterns. When a Smart Form is compiled, it generates an ABAP function module and these are always client-independent. This is appropriate, given that this form has more in common with an ABAP program than its predecessor. For instance, when a print program calls a Smart Form, the form itself takes over to produce output, without any further direction from the print program. In fact, the join is so seamless that I often find myself using a Smart Form's Initialization section for logic to handle any data gathering not handled by the print program. I would never even think to attempt this with SAPscript.
Several factors figured into SAP's decision to make Smart Forms client-independent, including customer feedback. There are significant advantages to client-independence. For instance, a change made in one development client happens immediately across all development clients. Among other things, this means we don't have to waste time figuring which client contains the most recent version -- they all do! In addition, transporting Smart Forms is easier, since we can safely bundle them together in the same transport as their client-independent print programs (no worry about mixing client-dependent and independent objects).

What exactly is the diff between client dependant and client independant te

Hi gurus,
What is the diff between client independant and client dependant term.. I initially had a confusion related to client independant and client dependant Transport requests, where else are these words applicable, do they apply to data as well, if so how? any links to help me understand the difference..
regards,
kishore

Hi Kishore,
Client Independant: These objects are not specific to any client. And it is universal which can be viewed,changed across the clients.
Client Dependant: These are the objects can be viewed, changed for the client for which it has been assigned. Other clients do not have access on these objects.
In SAP, all objects are finally stored as tables. "Mandt" is key field which determines whether the object is client dependant or not.
Client Independant transport requests will make the transported objects available across the clients. and Client dependent transport request make the objects available only for the client mentioned by field "Mandt"

Which are client independent and dependent objects in SAP ABAP

which are client independent and dependent objects in SAP ABAP

Hello Jagrut
A special kind of objects are client-<u>dependent </u>repository objects. These objects have to be treated specially in the way that they have to be imported into their specific target client. In contrast, client-independent repository objects can be imported into any client.

Client Independent Authorizations

Hi,
I would like to know, whether there are any ways in performing authorizations checks, irrespective of clients.
I have a scenario where only 1 user, say USER01 in client 100 should be authorized to view, execute, change certain programs and other data dictionary objects in the client 100. All other users in this client 100, should be authorized only to execute the program and not to view any of the programs and dictionary objects.
This should not be the case with any other user of the other clients of the server.They should not have any rights over these specified objects.
Kindly help me out with a solution for the same.
Venkat

Hi,
The authorizations are client independent. Whatever auth objects that you create and assign to the users in a client will NOT reflect in other clients. In fact the users are also client dependent. Having access to one client, does not guarantee access to other clients.
This is the defaul functionality.
regards,
Ravi

Smartform text modules client independent...

Hi Guys,
Are smartform text modules also client independent ?
If I do some change in text modules in one client its not getting reflected in other. Can someone tell me why ?
Thanks.
Tushar.

Hi Tushar,
As Phani and Rich mentioned Text module are client dependent similar to smartforms. You have to transport from one client to another.
