List of SAP Tables

Since I have not found another place to put this 2 page cheat sheet (for consultants, developers, users) it is in this section. There are many useful lists of SAP tables on the web, but, for one reason or the other, I could not find one overview, which suits my own needs. So, finally I created my own Cheat Sheet, including the most important SAP tables (functional and technical). It covers SAP-FI (currency, bank data, payment methods, calendar, taxes, accounting documents), SAP-CO (Cost center, cost elements, profit center) , ABAP, the Data Dictionary, User and System Administration, SAP Workflow, Number Ranges and some other SAP basis tables. Some examples which are included in the PDF:

Please be invited to use this list and/or leave some suggestions for enhancement. However, out of experience, allow me to make one stipulation: although this cheat sheet is freely available, please refrain from uploading it to other servers.

The list starts with the most useful tables and the items are categorized: ABAP, Data Dictionary, FI, CO, Spool, Cost Center, Vendors (Creditor), Customers (Debitor), Banks, Taxes, Clients, Accounting, Payment methods etc.).

Below is a screenshot of the pdf, to show an overview of the structure (the list contains both customizing and operational tables):

Table-Types

There are 4 Table-Types within the SAP System:

  1. Tables which have technical control functions within the SAP system. They are maintained either by SAP or by users with special authorization.
  2. Other tables contain basic commercial data (bank data, currency ...).
  3. Tables for the organization of a company (company codes, customer data ...).
  4. And last but not least there are tables for application data, which contain business transactions and master data and are processed using SAP programs.

An overview of the most important SAP Tables for all these categories, as well as the necessary SAP Transaction Codes to maintain them, are provided on the linked pages.
