Finding the table behind a structure

[Former Member]

From SE11 I have gone to the table ROOSOURCE to get details of the extract structure for 2LIS_13_VDITM. The extract structure is MC13VD0ITM. How can I find out what is the table behind this extract structure, by this I do not mean the R/3 Billing Item table but if the intermediate table between the R/3 Billing Item table. Also how are these intermediate tables more commonly known? Thanks

The extract method for 2LIS_13_VDITM is F1 which says the extract structure is filled with a function. This is shown in ROOSOURCE. Also, the function that fills it is: MCEX_BW_LO_API also in the ROOSOURCE table entry for your datasource.

Thank you both for your help.

Niten,

Structures are not views - there is no table behind it. Structures are a collection of fields.

MC13VD0ITM is a cluster table so you cannot see the fields in this also.
