Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples

MLVS is a standard SAP Structure so does not store data like a database table does. It can be used to define the fields of other actual tables or to process "Mat. Master View: WMS (MARA,MARC,MLGN,MAKT,MARM,T141,T141T)" Information within sap ABAP programs.

This is done by declaring abap internal tables, work areas or database tables based on this Structure. These can then be used to store and process the required data appropriately.

i.e. DATA: wa_MLVS TYPE MLVS.

The MLVS table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Mat. Master View: WMS (MARA,MARC,MLGN,MAKT,MARM,T141,T141T) data available in SAP. These include WERKS (Plant), LGNUM (Warehouse Number / Warehouse Complex), LGBKZ (Storage Section Indicators), LTKZE (Storage type indicator for stock placement)..

How do I retrieve data from SAP structure MLVS using ABAP code?
