SAP RM63A IO fields for the installn/dismtlg of equipment (SAPLIEL1) Table data and field list

RM63A 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 "IO fields for the installn/dismtlg of equipment (SAPLIEL1)" 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_RM63A TYPE RM63A.

The RM63A table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about IO fields for the installn/dismtlg of equipment (SAPLIEL1) data available in SAP. These include EQUNR (Equipment Number), EQUTX (Description of technical object), TPLNR (Functional Location), PLKALD (Functional location structure indicator)... 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. .
