SAP BUS020 BP: Addresses (Read) Table data and field list

BUS020 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 "BP: Addresses (Read)" 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_BUS020 TYPE BUS020.

The BUS020 table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about BP: Addresses (Read) data available in SAP. These include ADDRNUMBER (Address number), XDFADR (Indicator: Address is standard address), ADEXT (Address number in external system), NATION (Version ID for International Addresses)... 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. .
