SAP EMS_TASK_ORD Order Operation Data Table data and field list

EMS_TASK_ORD 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 "Order Operation 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_EMS_TASK_ORD TYPE EMS_TASK_ORD.

The EMS_TASK_ORD table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Order Operation Data data available in SAP.
