HI Rakesh,

If u r talking about the whole record in VBAP then it is possible. But if it is only with the field VBELN then ideally its not possible. But some one has modified VBAP table data from SE16N transaction.

When we create an order VBAK and VBAP tables will be filled with header and item details. But later

If u delete all the line items from the order then in ur VBAP table there won't be any entries for that VBELN while ur VBAK still have an entry. Just open that order in VA03 and see if it has any line items. I hope there won't be any.

If u need still more clarity then create an order and check the tables. Later delete all the line items from the order and check the atbles again.

Thanks,

Vinod.

If that's the case: someone modified standard SAP or wrote a userexit and corrupted the database.

Hi,

Header data can be used universaly any where in the rest of the modules, where as item details cant.

Anyhow if you can see them they are completely different.

Cheers!!
