Do you really want to update the VBAK table or do you want to update the vbak-structure in a USEREXIT ?

Did you encue the table ?

Hi,

Can you post your code here so we can investigate more.

Also check the data that you are passing to VBAK. it may contain data that cannot be accepted by the table like same primary keys to other records.something like that.

Hi,

Try the both way to update the Db table.

1. 
DATA wa TYPE scustom. 

SELECT SINGLE * 
       FROM scustom 
       INTO wa 
       WHERE id = '00017777'. 


wa-discount = '003'. 
UPDATE scustom FROM wa. 

2. UPDATE VBAK SET Zfield1 = <value> ZFIELD2 = <Value> where VBELN = <VBELN>.
