SAP COML_PRCAT Screen Structure: Product Category Table data and field list

COML_PRCAT 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 "Screen Structure: Product Category" 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_COML_PRCAT TYPE COML_PRCAT.

The COML_PRCAT table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Screen Structure: Product Category data available in SAP. These include PRODUCT_TYPE (Product Type), AUTH_GROUP (Authorization Group), RESPONSIBLE_PERS (Business Partner GUID), OBJECT_FAMILY (Object Family)...
