SAP AFABB Network: Document Table for Relationships Table data and field list

AFABB 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 "Network: Document Table for Relationships" 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_AFABB TYPE AFABB.

The AFABB table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Network: Document Table for Relationships data available in SAP. These include MANDT (Client), AUFPL_VOR (No. identifying the network to which the predecessor belongs), APLZL_VOR (Internal counter), AUFPL_NCH (No. identifying the network to which the successor belongs)... 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. .
