Definition

The delivery class decides who is responsible for maintaining a table. It also determines whether data is to be overwritten at the time of an SAP upgrade and it controls the copying of a table as part of a client copy procedure.

Description of the Delivery Classes:

  • A : application table (master and transaction data)
  • C : customizing table (maintained by the customer, protected against being overwritten during upgrades)
  • L : table for storing temporary data (supplied empty, cannot be transported)
  • G : customizing table (customer table with protected contents, existing entries are protected against being overwritten; however, SAP can add new entries)
  • E : control table (system table with customer name ranges, can be added to by the customer. Customer additions are not overwritten at time of upgrading)
  • S : system table (maintained by SAP; overwritten at time of upgrading)
  • W : system table (contents can be transported using own transport objects)
