Hi,

Append structures are used for enhancements that are not included in the standard. An append structure is a structure that is assigned to exactly one table or structure. There can be more than one append structure for a table or structure.

Includes are used to group fields, an include structure can be assigned to many tables. If you add a fields to an include structure, all tables/structures, which contain that include structure, will be updated too.

For enhancing SAP standard you can use customising includes too, if there are any in your table.

In short,

APPEND structures are used to add additional fields to exactly one table

INCLUDE structure is used to include fields to several tables.

Reward if helpful.

Include Substructures allow you to include fields from another table or structure in the table you are creating.

Customizing includes are provided in SAP tables and structures to allow you to add fields to these structures/tables without modifying the tables themselves.

Append structures allow you to add fields to SAP-provided structures and transparent tables that were not provided for in the standard version.

Reward if useful

Hi,

INCLUDE:

Includes are used to group fields and insert them together in a table or structure.

An include program has two main functions:

It contains code which can be used by several different programs.

It helps you to modularize programs, which consist of many different logically related parts. Each of these parts is stored as a separate include program.

Include programs improve the readability of programs and make maintenance easier.

Include reports contain rolled out parts of reports. They are called by the main report, and can only be run in conjunction with the main report.

APPEND:

Append structures are used for enhancements that are not included in the standard. This includes special developments, country versions and adding customer fields to any tables or structures.

An append structure is a structure that is assigned to exactly one table or structure. There can be more than one append structure for a table or structure.

The following enhancements can be made to a table or structure TAB with an append structure:

Insert new fields in TAB,

Define foreign keys for fields of TAB that already exist,

Attach search helps to fields of TAB that already exist

Just have a look at this link:
