MLEA1 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 "Vendor-Specific EANs: Data Transfer" 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_MLEA1 TYPE MLEA1.

The MLEA1 table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Vendor-Specific EANs: Data Transfer data available in SAP. These include MATNR (Material Number), MEINH (Unit of Measure for Display), LIFNR (Account Number of Vendor or Creditor), EAN11 (International Article Number (EAN/UPC))..
