How to create a new SAP client

You have finished your SAP installation and want to use your SAP system as your users work area.
Before you are able to use it you have to create a client in your SAP system. It's part of SAP Basistasks to
create SAP client.

A SAP client is and independently accountable business unit. Each client is identified by a three-figure
number. In the standard system, SAP delivers the following pre-configured clients:

000 : for administration purposes and as a template for additional clients

001: for test purposes and as a template for additional clients.

066: for SAP Remote Services

Users and their configurations can only work in their configuration's assigned client. Creating your
ownclients is one of the first steps in customizing a SAP system.

A client is created in two steps:
