Two Ways to Update SAP Standard Table Directly

a) The first way is to use the command \’&SAP_EDIT\’ once in transaction SE16N.

Step 1: Display the table to be updated in transaction SE16N.

Step 2: Once in display mode, please enter the command \’&SAP_EDIT\’ in the transaction code box (please refer to the screenshot below) and press the button \’Enter\’.

$\"sap_edit\"$

And the fields will become editable.

b) The second way is via debug mode (in case the first method does not works):

Step 1: Enter debug mode (using the command \’\\h\’) with the table to be updated in transaction SE16N.

Step 2: Change the value of variables \’gd-sapedit\’ and \’gd-edit\’ to \’X\’ (please refer to the screenshot below).

$\"gd_sapedit\"$

And the fields will become editable.
