Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples

PT5021 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 "Numbering" 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_PT5021 TYPE PT5021.

The PT5021 table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Numbering data available in SAP. These include NUMBERING_TYPE (Numbering Type for Hierarchy Level), NUMBERING_BEFORE (Numbering of Appraisal Elements: Lead Character), NUMBERING_AFTER (Numbering of Appraisal Elements: Subsequent Characters), NUMBERING_NOLAST (Flag: Do Not Display Last Character).. 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. .
