PAST SAP (Index Project - BOM) Structure details
Description: Index Project - BOM
Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples
PAST 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 "Index Project - BOM" 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_PAST TYPE PAST.
The PAST table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Index Project - BOM data available in SAP. These include MATNR (Material Number), WERKS (Plant), STLTY (BOM category), STLNR (Bill of material).. 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. .

How do I retrieve data from SAP structure PAST using ABAP code?
As PAST is a database structure and not a table it does not store any data in the SAP data dictionary. The ABAP SELECT statement is therefore not appropriate and can not be performed on PAST as there is no data to select.How to access SAP table PAST
Within an ECC or HANA version of SAP you can also view further information about PAST and the data within it using relevant transactions such asSE11 (ABAP Dictionary Maintenance)
