check table

Definition

Transparent table that is defined in the ABAP dictionary and stored in the database. This table contains all business and application data.

Use

The table check takes place when you maintain a change master record whose effectivity is defined by a parameter effectivity.

If you assign values to a parameter with the check table, the system checks whether the value exists in the database.

Examples

The effectivity type SERNR (serial number effectivity) is defined as follows in Customizing:

• Parametesr:

• MATNR (material number)

• SERNR (serial number)

• Check table:

• MARA (general material master data)

• Check field:

• MATNR (material number)

If you want to enter the area of effectivity for the serial number interval 100-500 in the change master record for material M-1, the system checks whether a material master record exists for material M-1.

Dependencies

You must also enter the check field that is to be checked in the check table.
