It can either be populated by a maintenance view, which can be done thru SM30 or SM31. Check the tcodes with the table.

If not check the where used list of the table and see the programs where the table is being modified or being inserted in the records

Hi,

Custom tables can be populated in two ways.....

1) Goto se11 --> specify table name and view it in change or display mode --> goto utilities --> table contents --> create entries ---> put in the required data and save it.

2) It can also be done by using ABAP code.

Syntax:- MODIFY <CUSTOM TABLE> FROM <work-area/screen-table(in case of dialog programming)>.

Reward points if this helps.

Hi,

as said by Gopi it can be populated by the SM30.

or it is populated by the transactions like VA01, ME21N.

generally depending on the requirement we need to create custom table and populate it. and this is used for required purpose.

u can find how the table is populate. first of all the table will be application specific. like SD,MM, PP

u can use where used list to find the program where it is getting populated.

some times it may be by transaction also.

hi Divya,

You can maintain entries through SM30 / Create Entries / the table can be modified through some ABAP INSERTions

1. SM30

Create a table --> Create a (Maintanence view) Table Maintanene generator for that table

Now run tcode SM30 and give the table name. You'll get lines to maintain entry

2. Create Entries :

Already explained

3. ABAP Insertions / Updations

Already explained

Hope this helps a bit

Reward if useful..
