Summary :
This SAP Note outlines the procedure for copying and modifying device types within SAP systems, specifically targeting transaction SPAD. To copy a device type, users must avoid using "Create with template" and instead opt for "Utilities -> Copy device type" in the menu, starting from Release 4.0A. It is critical to ensure that the new device type name starts with "Z" to avoid overwrites during upgrades and must be in upper case without special characters. Further adjustments can be made for formatting and print control in the spool admin transaction. Any alterations to customer-specific device types should handle formatting changes using the "Formatting for device type" menu.
