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

BWRF4 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 "Departments" 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_BWRF4 TYPE BWRF4.

The BWRF4 table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Departments data available in SAP. These include TBNAM (Table Name), XDELE (Indicator: Delete entry using batch input ?), ABTNR (Department number), EMPST (Receiving point).. 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. .
