Creating a Client in SAP

Creating a Client

*** Before adding a new client you should first ask if it will be used in communications with other clients (Central User Administration, source for client copies, etc.)  If so, the new client will need to be assigned a Logical System ID that is unique among all the SAP systems in the landscape.  It is recommended that all new clients be assigned to a Logical System ID as soon as they are created. ***

1.               Log on to any customizable client in the appropriate SAP system.

2.               Go to transaction SCC4.

3.               On the Display View “Clients”: Overview screen, click the pencil and glasses picture-icon to switch into change mode.

4.               On the Display View “Clients”: Overview popup, click the green √ to dismiss the informational message.

5.               On the Change View “Clients”: Overview screen, click the New Entries button.

6.               On the New Entries: Details of Added Entries screen, fill in Client number and description and the City.  Use the Logical system dropdown to assign a logical system ID to the client.  Type “USD” in the Std currency box.  Select a Client role from the client role dropdown (remember that there can only be one Productive client per SAP system).  In the Changes and transports for client-specific objects, Client-independent object changes, Protection: Client copier and comparison tool, and Restrictions when starting CATT and eCATT sections, select the necessary restriction levels from the provided dropdowns.  Once all information has been provided, click the Save picture-icon.

7.               You will see a Data saved in the status bar at the bottom of the screen.  You may now leave the SCC4 transaction.
