SAP CFBHT01 Hierarchy Table for the Information System Table data and field list

CFBHT01 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 "Hierarchy Table for the Information System" 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_CFBHT01 TYPE CFBHT01.

The CFBHT01 table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Hierarchy Table for the Information System data available in SAP. These include ID (Internal: Node ID), TYPE (Node type), NAME (Object name), TLEVEL (Node level)... 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. .
