List of SAP Tables (Cheat Sheet)

Since I have not found another place to put this 1 page cheat sheet, it is in this section. Of course, 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 list, including the most important SAP tables (functional and technical). It covers SAP-FI, SAP.CO, ABAP, the Data Dictionary, and some other SAP basis items. Some examples which are inlcuded 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):
