Delivery class
The delivery class controls the transport of table data when installing or upgrading, in a client copy and when
transporting between customer systems. The delivery class is also used in the extended table maintenance.
There are the following delivery classes:
A: Application table (master and transaction data).
C: Customer table, data is maintained by the customer only.
L: Table for storing temporary data.
G: Customer table, SAP may insert new data records, but may not overwrite or delete existing data records.
The customer namespace must be defined in table TRESC. (Use Report RDDKOR54 here).
E: System table with its own namespaces for customer entries. The customer namespace must be defined
in table TRESC. (Use Report RDDKOR54 here.)
S: System table, data changes have the same status as program changes.
W: System table (e.g. table of the development environment) whose data is transported with its own
transport objects (e.g. R3TR PROG, R3TR TABL, etc.).

Data class in technical settings
The data class defines the physical area of the database (for ORACLE the TABLESPACE) in which your table is
logically stored. If you choose a data class correctly, your table will automatically be assigned to the correct area
when it is created on the database.
The most important data classes are (other than the system data):
APPL0 Master data
APPL1 Transaction data
APPL2 Organizational and customizing data
Master data is data which is frequently read, but rarely updated. Transaction data is data which is frequently updated.
Organizational und customizing data is data which is defined when the system is initialized and then rarely changed.
There are two more data classes available, USR and USR1. These are reserved for user developments. The tables
assigned to these data classes are stored in a tablespace for user developments.
Note:The data class only has an effect on table storage for the database systems ORACLE and INFORMIX.
