SAP CIF_REQCAP PPM: Resources Table data and field list

CIF_REQCAP 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 "PPM: Resources" 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_CIF_REQCAP TYPE CIF_REQCAP.

The CIF_REQCAP table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about PPM: Resources data available in SAP. These include VORNR_EX (Operation Number), AKTNR_EX (Activity Number), MODUS (Mode (Relation between Activity and Ressource Requirement)), KAPID (Capacity ID)... 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. .
