*BKPF is a kind of work area , and it acts as a mirror.

The people who coded used *BKPF instead of creating a work area.

So the realation is some thing like work area of BKPF

Fields starting with the astrick (*) contains the values from the screen.

E.g. in FB01, When you enter the currency it stores in *BKPF-WAERS and later it will be moved to the BKPF-WAERS in the further code.

Basically, you will find this kind of fields use in the standard programs.
