What is Client-Dependent vs. Cross-Client?
Classification of data and settings as valid for one client only or for all clients in a system.
Customizing tables and business data are usually client-dependent, while ABAP programs, dictionary objects, and some settings are cross-client. A cross-client change in a test client affects all clients in that system. SCC4 controls whether cross-client changes are allowed.
