We want to view the company code segment of the entire customer mastersin the company. Standard reports available do not give the desiredinformation. Therefore we feel the need to create an ABAP Query.

Scenario 2
In scenario 1 we saw a simple query, where in all information required wasavailable in a single table.
But that is not the case always. Information which we require is not available in asingle table and is scattered across in more than one table. In such as scenarioyou need to create a join between these tables through a common field betweenthese tables.
In this scenario we want to have information of the customer master with name,address and also the accounting information.
We have seen earlier that the customer address information is available in thetable KNA1 and the accounting information for the customer is available in thetable KNB1. These 2 tables can be joined based on the common field customernumber in them.
