  • Key Concepts: 
    A structure package is a type of component in the SAP Workbench Tools. It is used to store and manage the structure of an object, such as a table or view. It contains the definition of the object, including its fields, data types, and other properties. It also stores the relationships between objects, such as foreign keys and indexes. 
    
    How to use it: 
    Structure packages are used to create and manage objects in the SAP Workbench Tools. To create a structure package, open the Workbench Tools and select the Structure Package option from the menu. Enter the name of the object you want to create and select its type (e.g., table or view). Then enter the fields, data types, and other properties for the object. Finally, save the structure package. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a structure package, it is important to ensure that all of the fields and data types are correct. This will help ensure that the object is created correctly and can be used without any issues. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes made to the structure package, as this can help prevent errors when making changes in the future.
