I have questions on VBAK-VDATU (Request Delivery Date..)

[Former Member]

Hi, I found it is strange...

When i using VBAK to check an SO document, i found there is a fields called 'VDATU' whose description is 'Delivery Request Date'.

Then i want to goto VA03 to locate where this field is located on the front-end screen.

Obviously that on the Sales Tab, there existe an 'Delivery Request Date' on the screen. I guess this must be the same as VBAK-VDATU...

But when i press F1 to check its technical information but found that the field name becomes to RV45A-KETDAT???

Even the fields name is not the same???

May i know whether these 2 field is the same field?

If it is, then why the name displayed in different name???

Thanks!!!!

Hi Hoo Laa,

VBAK-VDATU - Requested delivery date

RV45A-KETDAT - requested delivery date

here program use RV45A Structure and it updates the data into VBAK Table

always use VBAK-VDATU Field.

Hi Seshu,

Thanks.

May i know why SAP dont name that structure field as RV45A-<b>VDATU</b>? Why they name it as RV45A-<b>KETDAT</b> instead???

I just guess whether 'KETDAT' is in German language?

Thanks.

Even VBAk is also german,Sales order is the screen program,here we do not use direct table name to user enter,once user data on structure it will save into respect database table.

if you look at SAPMV45A Program and see the top include ,here you can able to find out respective tables.

Hope you got it.

Thanks

RV45A-KETDAT is just a structure, where as the field VBAK-VDATU is the 'Delivery Request Date' which you are looking for.
