SAP E2COSB1 Total Variances/Accrual Costs - Key Fields Table data and field list

E2COSB1 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 "Total Variances/Accrual Costs - Key Fields" 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_E2COSB1 TYPE E2COSB1.

The E2COSB1 table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Total Variances/Accrual Costs - Key Fields data available in SAP. These include GJAHR (Fiscal Year), WRTTP (Value Type), VERSN (Version), ABKAT (Category for Variance/Results Analysis)... 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. .
