SAP E2COSS1 Total Costs - Internal Postings - Key Fields Table data and field list

E2COSS1 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 Costs - Internal Postings - 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_E2COSS1 TYPE E2COSS1.

The E2COSS1 table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Total Costs - Internal Postings - Key Fields data available in SAP.
