Clients are used to divide data in a SAP System into various data
areas for various purposes. If a company, for example, wants to use its
SAP System for both test and training purposes, a client is created for
each purpose. A client is identified via a three character code. Data
can be moved via transports and corrections from one client to
another. When logging on to the system, the user has to select a client
in which he/she wants to work. The users can then only access data in
this client.
Client in R/3

The R/3 System is a client system. A client is, in organizational


terms, an independent unit in the R/3 System. Each client has its own
data environment and therefore its own master data and transaction
data, assigned user master records and charts of accounts, and specific
customizing parameters.
SAP R/3

Client - A self-contained unit in an R/3 System with separate master


records and its own set of tables. The data in a Client may not be
accessed by another Client.
The Client is the highest hierarchical level in the SAP
Organizational Structure.
Each Client is a self-contained unit with separate master records
and a complete set of tables.
Specifications made or data entered at this level are valid for all
Company Codes attached to the Client.
A single Client allows central maintenance and ensures
standardized data.
Access authorization is assigned per Client. A User master
record must be created for each user in the Client where he or
she wishes to work.
Each user must specify a Client key when logging on to the system.

SAP Easy Access is the standard entry screen displayed after logon.
Using the menu path Extras Set start transaction you can select a
transaction of your choice to be the default entry screen after logon.
Enter a transaction code in the command field
A transaction code (T-Code) is assigned to each function in R/3
(not each screen).
You can access the assigned transaction code from any screen in
the R/3 System.
You can find the transaction code for the function you are working
in under the Status option of the System menu.
For example, to display Accounts receivable master data, enter
/n and the appropriate transaction code (in this case /nxd03).

Use F1 for help on fields, menus, functions and messages. F1 help


also provides technical information on the relevant field. This
includes, for example, the parameter ID, which you can use to
assign values to the field for your user.

Use F4 for information on what values you can enter. You can also
access F4 help for a selected field using the button immediately to
the right of that field. If input fields are marked with a small icon
with a checkmark, then you can only continue in that application by
entering a permitted value.

Three types of data in the system


1. Master data - core information that is shared across
applications. The information is constant over a long period of
time. Master records contain data that controls how transaction
data is posted and processed.
Example: G L Account, Customer, Vendor, Bank, Material
Account master records that are no longer needed, can be
archived; however, they typically remain in the system to assist
in daily transaction processing.
2. Transaction data - the day-to day information that is put into or
generated by the system. Transaction records are archived
periodically to enhance system performance. To be archived,
data must be extracted from the R/3 database, deleted and placed
in a file. This file can then be transferred to an archiving
system.
Example: Invoice, Payment, Credit Memo, Good Receipt
3. Table data - the data that is specifically configured for a clients
business.
Example: Payment Terms, Tolerance Settings, Pricing
