SAP MCVGIH Order process PM/CS Table data and field list

MCVGIH 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 process PM/CS" 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_MCVGIH TYPE MCVGIH.

The MCVGIH table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Order process PM/CS data available in SAP. These include AUFPL (Routing number of operations in the order), APLZL (General counter for order), VORNR (Operation/Activity Number), OBJNR (Object number)... 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. .
