SAP RTIMEFRAME Time Periods Table data and field list

RTIMEFRAME 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 "Time Periods" 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_RTIMEFRAME TYPE RTIMEFRAME.

The RTIMEFRAME table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Time Periods data available in SAP. These include TIMEUNIT (Time Unit), TIMEFRAME_TYPE (Time Period Category)... 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. .
