1 Introduction to SAP Tables

1.1 SAP Tables
When we do some configuration,create master data and perform any transactions, the data and
properties get stored in the data base tables.

When we create/copy company code the company code details get stored in various important
tables. T001 and ADRC are the important tables.

 When we create GL master it updates SKA1/SKB1/SKAT

 When we create a vendor master it updates LFA1/LFB1/LFBK

 When we create a Customer master it updates KNA1/KNB1/KNBK

 When we do a journal entry posting (F-02) it updates BKPF and BSEG

2 How de we see which table a data gets stored

Use T code FB03 and display any document you created.

Keep the cursor on any header segment fields and press F1 for help. Select and click on it.

Chapter 26

We get technical information like

Program name

Screen number

Table name

Field name

2.1 Check the SAP table BKPF

Use T code SE16 (SE11 can also be used). Enter table name say BKPF.

At times you want to get the data based on some field and that field is not there on the selection
screen. Then you can get that by

Go to Settings >> Fields for selection >>Select the document type (BLART).

Then document type come up as a filter parameter.

Chapter 26

Enter the (doc No+Co Code +FY) from the above FB03 screen.

By default we get max No of hits as 200 and output list as 250. They can be modified if needed.

2.2 We can see only summary on GL of a sub ledger

Settings >> user parameters >> Field name – to get description and Filed label to get Tech names

If we want to see width more than 250, we can go modify list width as say 1023.

We can select the required fields by going to

Settings >> Format list >> Choose fields.

2.3 Primary Key/keys in Tables

SAP uses primary key/keys to link more than one related table to get connectivity.

To link a FI document header (BKPF), line items table (BSEG) and Tax details table primary keys
like document number (BELNR), Company code (BUKRS) and Fiscal year (GJAHR) are used.
Otherwise we do not get the right linkage and right data for the record.

When we create a vendor master data, LFA1 stores the general data.

LFB1 stores the co code data. Vendor number (LIFNR) is used as the primary key here.

Similarly if there is any bank data for this vendor it is stored in LFBK.

The detailed address of a vendor is found in ADRC table. To go to ADRC table we have to use
ADRNR (Address #) from LFA1.

3 Limitations for a Functional Consultant

However at times the data is not stored in individual tables as explained above. It gets stored in
structured and the data gets populated in during the execution of transactions. In that kind of
scenarios we might have to work with ABAP teams to get the flow of data.

3.1 Questions for you

1. Identify the table used to store dunning data of customeras

2. What is the table used to store Open items of GL/Vendors/Customers.
