SAP CKHT6 Texts for CKHS Table data and field list

CKHT6 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 "Texts for CKHS" 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_CKHT6 TYPE CKHT6.

The CKHT6 table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Texts for CKHS data available in SAP. These include MANDT (Client), LEDNR (Ledger for Controlling objects), BZOBJ (Reference Object), KALNR (Cost Estimate Number for Cost Est. w/o Qty Structure)... 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. .

How do I retrieve data from SAP structure CKHT6 using ABAP code?
