KLBEST 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 "Overview of Position Information" 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_KLBEST TYPE KLBEST.

The KLBEST table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Overview of Position Information data available in SAP. These include BKNZTXT (Text for Key Figure Category), EGARNR (Risk Line Item Identifier for Online/External Transactions), MANDT (Client), EGOBJNR (Object Number for Single Transactions)..
