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_VTBUHEADER TYPE VTBUHEADER.

The VTBUHEADER table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Header for Underlying data available in SAP.
