MKPF data in SAP S/4 Hana is actually from table MATDOC
So MKPF ECC R/3 vs MKPF SAP S/4 Hana... has it not been replaced? The answer is yes MKPF has been replaced by MATDOC in SAP S/4 Hana systems...ok so why is it still there and contain data when you look via transaction codes like SE11/SE16 etc, and doesn't that add a level of complexity keeping both tables upto date....
Well actually no, although you can still see MKPF as a table it is actually just a view of the new Hana table with all the same fields traditionally associated with MKPF. Behind the scenes it is a DDL object CDS view which selects the data from MATDOC and presents it as if the original table still exists. Clever really as this means all the old ABAP code that performs a select on this table will actually still work.. Yes you may want to rewrite it to take advantage of the new Hana table and all the in memory benefits but untill you do it will still work.
MATDOC used for fields of table MKPF
The data and therefore the actual field list comes from the ddl cds view and are mapped from the source hana table to match the legacy ECC SAP MKPF Table. Below is the CDS code that builds this table viewMKPF table structure field list
