Hi,

Almost all the application tables are client independent only.

If you define a table as Customizing table, 'C' or 'G', then those are client dependent tables. Check the attributes.

If the table type is customizable and you want to move the entries from one client to another then you have to save the table entries in a request and then get it tarnsported to other clients in your system.

hi,

A table can be either client-specific (applying only to a single client) or client-independent (applying to all clients in the SAP system).

· Client-independent tables

Client-independent tables contain data of general relevance, for example, SAP system control data, language indicators, and transaction codes.

· Client-specific tables

Data which only applies to one client is stored in client-specific tables. Examples of client-specific tables are tables containing application data, tables containing information about the structure of a company, and, with a limited number of exceptions (for example, language indicators), tables containing basic commercial data.

A table attribute in the Data Dictionary indicates whether a table is client-specific or client-independent (see also "Creating a Table Structure" in the ABAP/4 Dictionary guide). In client-specific tables, the client is always entered in the first key position.

hope this is helpful.

pls reward if helpful.
