Changing Configuration Table to user maintenance table

[Former Member]

Hi SDN team,

I recall that there was an OSS note that described the procedure to change a table in configuration to a user maintenance table. We have a scenario where the purchasing group table is maintained via IMG and the business process wants to maintain this as a master data table. Can anyone either walk me through the process of setting this up or point me to the OSS note that references this functionality?

Thank you.

Hi Nguyen,

How was your experience with note 135028 as a solution for updating Purchasing Groups in SAP Prod?

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thank you for all the response.

1. We do have to maintain certain configuration tables frequently (ie. purchasing group, sloc address, etc.)

2. The main issue that we are trying to mitigate is to allow maintenance of some of these tables without transport requests being generated.

3. Some of these tables are being leveraged by middleware and transaction launcher in CRM which allow users to maintain.

I will review the note. Any additional feedback would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Communicate your approach and dont forget the newbie who may join your company in future !!!

if one is not aware that you maintain customizing tables in production, and does customizing as usual in developement system and transports the changes, then he may create a lot problems.

It happened to me personally. I was not aware that purchasing groups had to be maintained in production system as I joined a new company. (But still the request for a new purchasing group is send to IT) . so I just took the free next number in dev-system and transported to production. And here I overwrote an entry that was only present in production.........
