SAP VBXP Invalid Table data and field list

VBXP 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 "Invalid" 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_VBXP TYPE VBXP.

The VBXP table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Invalid data available in SAP. These include VBELN (Sales and Distribution Document Number), POSNR (Item number of the SD document), STAWN (Commodity Code/Import Code Number for Foreign Trade), PRFKZ (Preference situation)... 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 VBXP using ABAP code?

As VBXP 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 VBXP as there is no data to select.

How to access SAP table VBXP

Within an ECC or HANA version of SAP you can also view further information about VBXP and the data within it using relevant transactions such as

SE11 (ABAP Dictionary Maintenance)
