Use of Adjust function to copy standard config for Upgraded system

I have worked on a number of different ERP 6 systems that have been upgraded from previous versions.

Some of the basic standard delivered config will be missing and there is a simple task of using the "adjust" function to copy the standard config from client "001" to the developement client "XXX"

However I know have a client who has the missing config in the dev client "XXX" but when you use the adjust back to "001" there is nothing there.

Do you know a way to re-create the core config?

An example is in Dispute Management - if you go to the case type config. SAP delivers F_DM as a base - but there is nothing there.

thanks
