PIPO 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 "Packing Instruction Items" 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_PIPO TYPE PIPO.

The PIPO table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Packing Instruction Items data available in SAP. These include PACKITEMID (Unique internal packing object item number), ITCOUNT (Internal Counter), PACKITEM (Item number), DETAIL_ITEMTYPE (Detailed Item Category).. 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. .
