Difference between XVBAK and VBAK

[Former Member]

Hi,

Anyone knows the difference between XVBAK and VBAK? i noticed sometimes if you do changes it goes populated on XVBAK but certain scenarios it only populates VBAK and XVBAK is empty.  I'm just wondering why?

If i am doing a IF condition is it practice to always check on both of them?

Thank you.

Hi,

Can you explain what is the business requirement.

During creation or change of a sales order for example, the order type must be 'OR' for a certain customer logic to be triggered.

why in some case xvbak and vbak has values whereas on some case xvbak doesn't have?  should i always have to check both like this statement:

IF xvbak-auart EQ 'OR'
OR vbak-auart EQ 'OR'.
ENDIF.

Thanks

Hi CZ,

While creating sales order before updating  into VBAK and VBAP tables it will maintain these data in XVBAK and XVBAP .Finally this will update vbak and vbap tables.

Thanks.. that makes sense because when I do a change and change only on item level then xvbak is empty.
