SAP COMT_HIERARCHY_EXP Export Structure: Hierarchy Data Table data and field list

COMT_HIERARCHY_EXP 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 "Export Structure: Hierarchy 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_COMT_HIERARCHY_EXP TYPE COMT_HIERARCHY_EXP.

The COMT_HIERARCHY_EXP table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Export Structure: Hierarchy Data data available in SAP. These include HIERARCHY_ID (Category Hierarchy ID), ROOT_CAT_GUID (Category GUID), SCHEME_GUID (Numbering Scheme GUID), CAT_AUTONUMBER (Automatic Number Assignment)... 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. .
