Finding SAP table relations?


I'm new to SAP. I have access to the SAP database, but not to the SAP GUI. I wanna know the tables relation i.e., how to join two tables.

Suppose, if I want to know all the relations VNVK has, where should I start? I can only view the primary keys and not the foreign keys for all the tables. I read some posts from this forum and got this information:

  • DD02L: SAP Tables
  • DD05S: Foreign key fields
  • DD09L: DD: Technical settings of tables
  • DD26S: Base tables and foreign key relationships

but the DD26S table doesn't give me these information either.

I even tried to get the table and column description and then try to join, but it's a tedious process.

I got a document with SAP table relations but it doesn't have all the modules in it.

Any holistic documentation about all of them?


Solution

  • If someone wants you to do the job, they have to give you the proper tools. You need frontend access (at least read-only) to do this. So take a pointed stick and poke whoever is responsible until you get the necessary permissions.

    That being said, you should check out the IDES installation provided by consolut - they offer free (read only) access, and that might be enough for you. Read this for information about the dictionary structures and this for information on the tools.
