SAP ALM_ME_COMPONENT Component Table data and field list

ALM_ME_COMPONENT 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 "Component" 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_ALM_ME_COMPONENT TYPE ALM_ME_COMPONENT.

The ALM_ME_COMPONENT table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Component data available in SAP. These include RESERV_NO (Number of Reservation/Dependent Requirement), RES_ITEM (Item Number of Reservation/Dependent Requirement), RES_TYPE (Record type), MOVEMENT (Goods Movement for Reservation Allowed)...
