SAP ROW_ID Material Quantity Calculation: Line Identification Table data and field list

ROW_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 "Material Quantity Calculation: Line 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_ROW_ID TYPE ROW_ID.

The ROW_ID table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Material Quantity Calculation: Line Identification data available in SAP.

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. .

How do I retrieve data from SAP structure ROW_ID using ABAP code?

As ROW_ID is a database structure and not a table it does not store any data in the SAP data dictionary. The ABAP SELECT statement is therefore not appropriate and can not be performed on ROW_ID as there is no data to select.

How to access SAP table ROW_ID
