Introduction
The presenter, Kelechi Kelly A., is an SAP S/4HANA Finance and Control consultant. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the client environment or the concept of clients in SAP and being familiar with the SAP system environment.
The Client Concept
A client in SAP is used for multiple logins on a single instance. It provides data security, ensuring that one user with one client cannot see the data of another user with another client. A client is the highest hierarchy within the SAP system, and it is a self-contained data area unit with separate master records and a complete set of tables.
Types of Clients
There are different types of clients in SAP, each serving a specific purpose. These include:
- Development Client: This is where most of the configuration happens. It has a full master data and a complete set of tables.
- Quality Client: This is where all the tests are done, confirming all the end-to-end processes with the business.
- Production Client: This is where the system goes live. It is used for day-to-day business activities.
Viewing a Client in SAP
To view a client in SAP, you can use the transaction code SCC4. This will display all the clients in the SAP system.
The Purpose of Various Clients
The presenter explains the purpose of various clients in the SAP system:
- Sandbox: This is where the initial design of the implementation project or new processes is done.
- Development Client: This is where the entire new configuration for the projects is created and transported to other clients.
- Quality Assurance Client: This is where integration testing is done and all quality parameters are checked.
- Production Client: This is where all day-to-day business activities occur. Users are not supposed to post day-to-day activities in any other client other than the production client.
