Table Delivery Classes define how a table is delivered by SAP, and how data in that table is handled during client copies, upgrades, and transports. Every table in SAP must have a delivery class, and it’s set in SE11 under the Attributes tab.

Why Is Delivery Class Important?

It determines:

Whether data in the table is customizing, master data, or transactional
If and how the data is transported between systems
Whether the data is client-dependent or client-independent
How the table behaves during client copy or SAP upgrades.

Delivery Class	Description
A – Application Table (Master & Transaction Data)	Client-dependent; used for storing application data like customers, sales, etc. Data is typically not transported.
C – Customizing Table (Client-dependent)	Holds configuration data; client-dependent; transportable via customizing request.
E – Customizing Table (Client-independent)	Like C, but client-independent. Must be handled carefully as changes affect all clients.
L – SAP Table for storing temporary data	Temporary/volatile data; no transport or client copy. Example: log or buffer tables.
G – Customizing Table (with text table)	Used with a corresponding text table; data is often language-dependent.
S – System Table	Stores system data; client-independent; changes are rare and usually done by SAP only.
W – Repository Table	Stores data about repository objects (e.g., table definitions); technical SAP use only.

Examples:

KNA1 (Customer Master) → Delivery Class A
T001 (Company Codes) → Delivery Class C
TADIR (Repository Info) → Delivery Class W
T000 (Client Table) → Delivery Class S
