Hi Vijay,

Client dependent tables will have a field called MANDT in the table as the first field. If this is there then the data in the table is client dependent. That means by default you cannot see and access data of one client from another client (But this is possible thru ABAP).

Client independent tables will not have MANDT field. So the data in this table is visible across client.

Cheers

Vinod
