Definition

This attribute indicates the role of the client in your R/3 system. Possible roles are:

  • Production client
  • Test client
  • Training client
  • Demo client
  • Customizing client
  • SAP reference client

This field should be maintained by the customer for documentary purposes. It is particularly important for the production client:

  • Production clients and SAP reference clients are protected from the client copy tools, including "Copy by Transport Request" (transaction SCC1).
  • There is corresponding protection from the automatic Customizing Distribution and other tools.
  • In a production client, customizing settings that can be maintained as "current settings" are excluded from a client lock or transport connection; this means current settings (e.g. exchange rates, posting periods) can always be maintained in a productive client without recording changes. Other clients usually require a transport request.
