We may be in a situation in which we need to edit fastly an SAP ECC table and we find view functionality too limited. There are workarounds to edit SAP tables directly.
Note: it is not recommended at all to edit standard tables, as this may cause system inconsistencies. Even when you edit custom table, do this at your own risk.
METHOD 1:
Run transaction SE16N.
In the command line, type “&sap_edit”.
If you have authorization to do this, you will enter in the table in Edit mode.
METHOD 2:
Run transaction SE37
Run program SE16N_INTERFACE
Enter the following options:
I_TAB: <table name>
I_EDIT: X
I_SAPEDIT: X
I_MAX_LINES: 0
I_DISPLAY: X
Leave the rest blank.
Run report. You will enter in the table in edit mode.
