SAP PPERCP_ID Recipe Identification Table data and field list

PPERCP_ID 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 "Recipe Identification" 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_PPERCP_ID TYPE PPERCP_ID.

The PPERCP_ID table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Recipe Identification data available in SAP. These include PNAME (RCP Node Name), PNTYPE (iPPE Node Type), PDESC (Description of iPPE Object Type), PVGUID (Internal Number of the PVS Variant)... 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. .
