SAP CEST2 CO-PA line-item plan data Table data and field list

CEST2 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 "CO-PA line-item plan data" 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_CEST2 TYPE CEST2.

The CEST2 table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about CO-PA line-item plan data data available in SAP. These include PALEDGER (Currency type for an operating concern), VRGAR (Record Type), VERSI (Plan version (CO-PA)), PAOBJNR (Profitability Segment Number (CO-PA))... 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. .
