Objects Appropriate for Customizing Synchronization

Appropriate Customizing Objects for Comparison with the Customizing Scout

Table and field name must be the same in the source and target systems. If this is not the case, create a synchronization object.

Appropriate Customizing Objects for Customizing Distribution

General Prerequisites

Table and field name must be the same in the source and target systems. If this is not the case, create a synchronization object. The customizing objects must not contain Before Export methods, and must be at least manually transportable.

Special prerequisites for the automatic distribution of customizing changes

Customizing objects which you want to use in the automatic distribution of customizing changes, must have an automatic transport connection, and be BC Set-compatible in the target system. When you set-up the Customizing Distribution, the system checks whether the objects which you have selected are BC Set-compatible in the target system.

You can also check the BC Set-compatibility of objects in the IMG yourself, before distributing customizing:

• You can check objects with the program Check IMG for BC Set Compatibility, in all systems based on the software component SAP_BASIS 4.6C or higher. In particular, you can perform this check in SAP R/3 systems with Release 4.6C. For more information about the IMG check program, see SAP Note 398178.

• You can call a BC Set-compatibility check function in the transaction SOBJ and in the IMG, in all systems based on the software component SAP_BASIS 6.20 or higher (for example, SAP R/3 Enterprise).

Objects for which sie get a green unchecked activation icon, are Customizing Distribution-compatible.
