Summary :
This SAP Note details the client copy procedures supported in SAP R/3, focusing on five main scenarios: copying complete clients, copying Customizing while deleting existing data, copying user masters including profiles and activity groups, a non-recommended mode copying Customizing without deleting data, and the infeasibility of client mixing. Essential for maintaining consistent data relationships, the note discusses dependencies between Customizing and application data, emphasizing consistency during client copy. The system supports specific copying rules, and operational constraints like not working in the source client during copy to prevent inconsistencies, especially in number ranges. Profiles and initialization details are aligned with R/3 release capabilities, underscoring changes post-Release 3.x due to technical constraints.
Key words :
