How to make entries in database tables without transport request

At times, it is important to provide users with the flexibility to make entries in custom tables in quality/production systems. For example, an email ID being stored in the custom control table may need to be changed when the user wants the email to be sent to another ID. In such cases, its useful to allow users maintain the table entries themselves rather than entries being created in development system and then transported.

To allow users to maintain table entries without transporting, it is necessary that a table maintenance generator has been created for the table. Table delivery class can be chosen as C. Next, in the table maintenance generator, ensure that the user-defined screen option is selected. This attribute decides if the user can maintain the table entries.

Tip: Users generally do not have SM30 authorization in production systems. Hence it may be a good idea to make use of a parameter transaction which calls SM30 with the custom table name and in update mode.
