What the badges mean
S/4HANA status: Active
Active and unchanged in S/4HANA.
S/4HANA status: Deprecated
Still readable today, but no longer SAP's strategic path — plan around it.
S/4HANA status: Replaced
Replaced by a new persistence in S/4HANA; the classic name may still answer reads (see read mechanism).
S/4HANA status: Migrating to IBP
Planning scope is moving from APO toward IBP.
S/4HANA status: Active (StRM) · Replaced (EWM)
Path-dependent: active with SAP Stock Room Management, replaced where EWM is the warehouse path.
S/4HANA status: Replaced · Compat View
Compatibility view: the classic table name is redirected to a view over the new persistence — see how the physical model moved.
S/4HANA status: Active · Proxy View
Proxy view: reads route through NSDM proxy/CDS views — see how the physical model moved.
master
Data class: what the table holds — master data, transaction documents, org structure, config, or texts (one row per language — see the quirks guide).
Linked type codes

CLNT — the client key; filter it explicitly and carry it through every join.

NUMC — fixed-width numeric text; keep it a string and keep the leading zeros.

DATS, TIMS — character date (YYYYMMDD) and time (HHMMSS), zero-filled when initial.

CURR, CUKY, QUAN, UNIT — amounts and quantities, meaningful only beside the currency key or unit that qualifies them.

LANG — a language key in a text table — one row per language.

In field listings, K marks a primary-key field, and linked type codes in the Type column jump to the matching quirks-guide section.
