Summary :
Following an upgrade from Release 4.6C to 4.7 or later versions in SAP, users may experience the loss of personal settings in transaction ME51N, including default values. This issue arises due to changes in the personalization structure starting with Release 4.70, where automatic data conversion from earlier versions was absent. The recommended course of action involves saving ESDUS table entries prior to upgrading, implementing specific program code changes as provided, and following instructions in Note 1068662 before initial login post-upgrade. Manual maintenance is available for recovering any lost personal settings.
