Chapter 05 - Adding Structures

The document discusses different types of structures in SAP, including substructures, customizing includes, and append structures. Substructures allow fields from one table to be included in another. Customizing includes provide predefined fields that can be added to SAP tables without modifying the core tables. Append structures allow custom fields to be added to SAP-provided structures and transparent tables.

Summary

 Structure is a group of internal fields that logically belong together. A Structure


consists of components (fields) whose types are defined.
 Substructures allow you to include fields from another table or structure in the
table you are creating.
 Customizing includes are provided in SAP tables and structures to allow you to
add fields to these structures/tables without modifying the tables themselves.
 Append structures allow you to add fields to SAP-provided structures and
transparent tables that were not provided for in the standard version.
