hi,

1. there is no direct relation between VBAK and EKPO.

VBAK --> VBAP -->EKPO

VBAK-VBELN = VBAP-VBELN

VAP-EBELN = EKPO-EBELN.

6. Search help and match code objects are one and the same.

In earlier versions, we call them as match code objects and later versions, we call as search help. They are used to provide F4 help to fields.

Search helps are of two types. Elementary and collective search helps.
