Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples

VWAHN 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 Tag" 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_VWAHN TYPE VWAHN.

The VWAHN table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Material Tag data available in SAP. These include EXIDE (Handling Unit's 2nd External Identification), VHILM (Packaging Materials), VHMKU (Partner's (Customer's or Vendor's) Packaging Material), NTGEW (Net Weight).. 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 VWAHN using ABAP code?
