SAP RCPS_COMPARE Structure with Calculated and Saved Formula Values Table data and field list

RCPS_COMPARE 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 "Structure with Calculated and Saved Formula Values" 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_RCPS_COMPARE TYPE RCPS_COMPARE.

The RCPS_COMPARE table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Structure with Calculated and Saved Formula Values data available in SAP. These include FORMULA (Recipe Formula), PO_FLG (Primary Output), POSNR (Number of a Material or Substance Item), STD_ALT_FLG (Standard Item)... 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. .
