Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples

WSAM_UOM is a standard SAP Structure so does not store data like a database table does. It can be used to define the fields of other actual tables or to process "Units of Measure" Information within sap ABAP programs.

This is done by declaring abap internal tables, work areas or database tables based on this Structure. These can then be used to store and process the required data appropriately.

i.e. DATA: wa_WSAM_UOM TYPE WSAM_UOM.

The WSAM_UOM table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Units of Measure data available in SAP. These include NUMERATOR (Numerator for Conversion to Base Units of Measure), NUMERATOR_C (SAP Retail Store: Quantity Field CHAR 17), DENOMINATOR (Denominator for conversion to base units of measure), DENOMINATOR_C (SAP Retail Store: Quantity Field CHAR 17).. See below for full list along with technical details, documentation, text table, check tables, foreign key relationships, conversion routines, relevant tcodes and example ABAP select code etc. .
