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.
