SAP SIMA_LOCKS IO: Locks for Insurance Object Table data and field list

SIMA_LOCKS 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: Locks for Insurance Object" 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_SIMA_LOCKS TYPE SIMA_LOCKS.

The SIMA_LOCKS table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about IO: Locks for Insurance Object data available in SAP. These include INSOBJECT (Identification for an Insurance Object), PARTNER (Business Partner Number), PROID (Process Code (Example: Dunning, Payment)), LOCKR (Lock Reason)... 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. .
