SAP Note 2330063 In SAP S/4HANA, the table type of the table T130F has been changed so
that the entries delivered by SAP can no longer be changed in a customer
system without a modification.
As a result, customer specific settings in this table are overwritten with
the SAP delivered settings during system conversion to S/4HANA.
To prevent any customer-specific settings in T130F for the copy control
being replaced in the material master and the article master, an SAP
S/4HANA system offers an additional customizing table T130F_C. This
allows alternative maintenance of the copy control to the SAP delivery.
The settings in T130F_C are then taken into account during the
maintenance of material master and article master data.

10Steps2S4 – Installed Base Conversion P a g e | 52

 For this purpose, the relevant fields of T130F must be copied beforehand
to a new Customizing table T130F_C so that these settings can continue to
be defined customer-specifically.
Now to migrate data
from table T130F to
the newly created
table T130F_C,
execute (SE38)
